Is a yacht charter all inclusive?

A yacht charter is not all inclusive — the base fee buys the yacht and the crew’s labor, and almost nothing else. Fuel, food, alcohol, dockage, port fees, and communication get billed through APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), usually 25–30% on top of the base. Crew gratuity sits outside that too, customary at 10–20% of the base. So a $30,000 base week typically lands around $40,000 to $46,000 all-in once APA and tip are added. A few smaller catamaran programs run inclusive packages with set menus and limited bar — but a true crewed charter is built around custom provisioning. Confirm what’s bundled before signing the contract. See the booking process for the full cost breakdown.
