Charter Terms

Most of the charter rates and conditions are based on the Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association (MYBA). We find some exceptions like the Caribbean terms or Bareboat charters in US waters.

  • What is the A.P.A.: Is by standard 30% of the charter fee. The APA amount is used to cover expenses that are not included on the charter rate. In the event of cancellation of the charter the APA is refundable. The captain of the yacht is responsible for accounting for all APA expenses during the charter, and the breakdown will be presented to you in a clear manner at the end of the charter. If the costs incurred during the course of the charter are less than the APA deposit, then the difference will be refunded to the Charterer at the end of the charter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I specify the food and drinks served during my charter?

Of course! All food and beverage preferences are discussed prior to the charter and we will ask you to fill out our Preference Charter Form where you will be able to choose any types of food you like, wines, liquor, brands of water and sodas, style of breakfast, etc… Every detail counts and we will make sure we have you covered.

Can I smoke on board?

Depends on every yacht. Ask your booking broker to let you know the smoking rules of every yacht. Most of yachts do not allow smoking inside for safety reasons but they have some designated areas in the outdoors or decks.

How much should I tip the crew?

Crew gratuity is at charterer discretion, although it is customary when you have enjoyed your stay and the attentive service of the crew. The suggested tip is between 5% to 15% of the charter fee, to be split equally between the crew.
