Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charter costs.

The general luxury super yacht charter fee rents you the boat and the services of the boat crew, for your stated luxury charter period, e.g. the base vessel charter fee per week. Unless stated otherwise, food, drink, and fuel will be extra "expenses". There will normally be mooring fees and possibly fees for scuba, water toys and certain communications.

Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charters and APA

To facilitate the management of these expenses, and build trust, the industry has developed the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) system. The Charter Operator/Central Agent estimates the expenses that will be incurred, depending on your luxury itinerary (usually 20% to 30% of the charter fee) and adds that on up front. This provides a bank account for the Skipper, who makes expenditures on your behalf and keeps accurate records. Please note that these expenses are not marked up. At the end of the luxury mega super yacht charter, you will be refunded the difference, or the boat Captain will ask you to pay more during the charter cruise if further running costs are incurred.

Normally, you will be asked to pay 1/2 of the luxury mega super yacht charter fee upon signing the yacht charter contract, and the remaining 1/2 approximately 30 days before the charter commences. For obvious reasons, the luxury mega super yacht charter will not begin until all charter payments are made. Tipping is not obligatory but is at the discretion of the charterer. Common practice on luxury Super Yacht charters is normally between 5% - 20% of the total charter price, on a sliding scale depending on how satisfied you are with the boat crew's performance (regional differences exist - yachts working with Americans tend to expect higher tips than yachts working with Europeans or those from other parts of the world.)

Other Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charter Useful Information.

One you've booked your Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charter, you will normally be asked to fill out a passenger list (with people's likes and dislikes, allergies, and any special needs), desired itinerary form and provisioning requests. Please fill these out and return as soon as you can - they're critical to your overall satisfaction.

Super Yachts normally use a MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) contract that is designed to standardize luxury mega super yacht charter terms and protect the Charterer, the Owner, and the Agent/Broker. It has standard protections and escalation clauses in case any problems arise. We are happy to discuss with you the standard MYBA contract terms in detail.

You should also know that, once you have booked your Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charters, you have signed a legally binding contract. You are obligated by law to pay the entire luxury charter amount regardless of whether you actually board the yacht. In exceptional cases, you may be able to cancel, but monies will be refunded only if the yacht can be chartered to another client. Because of this, many clients purchase insurance against Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charter cancellation.

Water Sports on your Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charters

One of the great pleasures of chartering is to use, or learn to use, the increasing variety of water sports equipment carried by most yachts. With the aim of maximising the operator's safety and those around him the use of these water craft is regulated. The pilot of any motorized vehicle of more than 6 HP must have an appropriate user license.

Lifejackets are mandatory for water skiing, jet-ski, wave-runner, etc?

Of particular note are the jet-skis (the kneeling or standing machines) and wave-runners (the sit-down variety). Please take great care; do not drive close inshore especially near swimming beaches or other anchored yachts. Wave-runner's must not go beyond 2 nautical miles from the shore, or 1 nautical mile for a jet ski; in most countries it is against the law. Many towns or countries have brought in severe restrictions on their use and some have banned them altogether.

Your captain will be on hand to offer advice and inform you of any local restrictions.
