What is the difference between APA and all-inclusive yacht charter pricing?

APA charges base-fee-plus-actual-expenses; all-inclusive bundles a fixed amount of fuel, food, and drink into one number. Under APA (the MYBA standard for crewed yachts over 60 feet), the charter base covers the yacht and crew. APA (25–30% of the base) pre-funds running costs, with unused balance returned at the end. All-inclusive is more common on smaller catamarans and short charters: one number, capped consumables, no end-of-charter reconciliation. The trade-offs: APA gives total provisioning flexibility (any wine, any restaurant) but variable cost; all-inclusive caps the bill but limits choices. Larger groups and luxury menus skew APA. Smaller boats and simpler trips skew all-inclusive. All-inclusive vs APA pricing compares the math.
