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.
