What does the advertised yacht charter price include?

Answer

The headline charter rate generally covers the use of the yacht and its crew for the agreed charter period. Depending on the yacht and charter agreement, other expenses may be additional.

These can include:

APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) –

Fuel –

Food and beverages –

Port and marina fees –

Cruising permits or taxes –

VAT or other applicable taxes –

Delivery/redelivery fees –

Special requests or activities

The exact inclusions and exclusions should always be confirmed in the MYBA Charter Show Agreement or applicable charter contract before booking.

Analysis

Two yachts with similar headline weekly rates can have materially different total costs depending on the cruising area, itinerary, fuel consumption, tax treatment and additional expenses.

Broker comment

A professional broker should help you understand the difference between the advertised charter rate and the anticipated total cost before you commit.
