What is excluded from the yacht charter price?

Answer

Exclusions vary according to the yacht and charter agreement, but common additional expenses can include fuel, food and beverages, marina and port charges, taxes, communications, special requests, transfers and crew gratuity.

Some expenses may be covered through APA, while others may be charged separately.

The precise treatment should always be confirmed in the charter agreement before signing.

Analysis

The distinction between the base charter rate, APA-funded expenses and separately charged items is important when calculating the real cost of a charter.

Broker Comment

We encourage clients to ask us to identify the costs that are *not* contained in the headline rate. That is often more useful than simply asking what the yacht costs per week.
