The expenses are generally estimated at 35% of the base charter fee. These prepaid expenses are called Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA). The APA essentially creates a bank account for the Captain to purchase provisions, fuel, dockage, beverages, bar, and other consumables on the charterer's behalf. Any amount not used will be refunded to you at the end of the charter. If during the charter the costs have exceed the collected APA, then additional funds will be required for the outstanding bills.

All inclusive rates include the following items:

• All of your deliciously prepared meals (3 meals per day)
• Beverages (standard ship’s bar + non-alcoholic)
• Snacks & hors d'oeuvres

What's Not Included?

• Dockage & Communications
• Special bar requests (fine wines, champagne, excessive alcoholic consumption)
• Transfer airport/yacht/airport

Gratuity: It is customary to tip your crew at the end of your charter. The amount is totally at your discretion, with 15% - 20% of the charter fee (excluding running expenses and taxes) being usual.
