Yacht charters have a standard price structure that will variate based on various factors. The cost encompasses several components, including the base charter fee, additional expenses, and applicable taxes. The base charter fee covers the rental cost of the yacht itself and the crew. Additional expenses often include provisions such as food, beverages, fuel, and docking fees. These costs can be estimated in advance or calculated based on actual consumption during the charter, in an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), roughly equals to 35% of the charter fee. In some cases, crew gratuity may also be added to the overall price. Moreover, Value Added Tax (VAT) is often applied to yacht charters, especially in European destinations, and the rate can differ depending on the country where the charter takes place.
