What is the average cost of a yacht charter?
The average cost of a yacht charter in the Caribbean is $35,000 to $85,000 all-in per week for a crewed catamaran sleeping 6-8 guests. Bareboat catamarans (no crew, you drive) run $15,000-$30,000. Crewed motor yachts start around $75,000 and climb past $500,000 for 130-foot+ vessels in peak season. Mediterranean rates run roughly 50% higher than Caribbean for comparable yachts. “All-in” means the base charter fee plus 25-30% APA plus 10-20% crew gratuity. The single biggest cost driver is season β Christmas and Easter weeks command 30-40% premiums over May or November. Browse the fleet for specific rates.
