The rental price covers the essential amenities such as bedding, towels, and kitchenware. However, expenses such as tourist taxes, provisions, cleaning fees, marina charges, fuel, and crew services are not included and are payable separately.
For larger yachts, an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of 30-35% is typically added. The APA serves as an advance payment to cover various costs associated with the charter, including yacht preparation, supplies, port fees, fuel, crew gratuities, and other expenses. The amount of APA may vary depending on the specific requests of the guests, such as itinerary, food, and beverages.
If the APA is not fully utilized by the end of the cruise, any remaining funds are refunded to the charterer. However, if expenses exceed the APA, guests may be required to cover the additional costs.
