FAQ

About Chartering

Charter Duration

How long can my charter last?

Your charter can last from a single day to several weeks, depending on your needs and the yacht's availability. While week-long charters are typical, we also accommodate shorter stays and special events, as well as ambitious around-the-world journeys.

Charter Length Requirement

Must I charter for a whole week?

A week-long charter is standard but not obligatory. We're flexible to shorter or extended durations to suit your schedule.

Charter Start Date

Can I choose when my charter begins?

Absolutely, you have the freedom to select your charter's start date, subject to the yacht’s schedule.

Calculating Charter Rates

How are rates determined?

Charter fees are weekly-based, with pro-rata calculations for longer or shorter periods, adjusted for high or low seasons. The charter officially starts at noon on the first day and concludes by noon on the final day.

What's Covered in Charter Rates?

The rate includes the yacht, its crew, and all necessary equipment, insured against marine risks. Exclusions are VAT, provisioning, fuel, communications, canal fees, harbor dues, taxes, specific marina fees, and any costs for different embarkation/disembarkation locations.

Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA)

What is it?

APA covers the yacht's running expenses like fuel, food, mooring fees, and any special requests, typically between 25% to 40% of the charter fee. Managed by the Captain, a detailed account of expenditures will be provided for transparency.

Crew Gratuity

What is it?

While not obligatory, tipping 10% to 20% of the charter fee is customary, reflecting your satisfaction with the service. Handing gratuity distribution to the captain ensures equitable sharing among the crew.

Guest Capacity

How many can the yacht accommodate?

Capacity varies by yacht size and design, with a legal overnight guest limit usually up to 12. For larger parties, we can source yachts with higher capacities to meet your needs.

How is it managed?

A detailed preference questionnaire will help us and the crew cater to every aspect of your onboard experience, from food and wine to activities and entertainment.
