What currency are yacht charters priced in?

Caribbean yacht charters price in US dollars; Mediterranean charters price in euros. The rule tracks the operating currency of the yacht’s home base. Caribbean fleets (BVI, USVI, Bahamas, St. Martin, Grenadines) price the base fee, APA, and gratuity in USD. Mediterranean fleets (France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Spain) use EUR. Asia and the Pacific run on USD or local currency depending on the operator. The contract specifies the currency and locks the exchange rate at signing. The full payment — base fee, APA, and gratuity — clears in the contract currency, so booking a EUR charter from the US adds an FX layer through the bank. Brokers can hold a USD-equivalent escrow on European charters. Vital’s broker desk confirms the currency before any deposit.
