Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like AQUA LIFE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($18,750 - $30,000), making the charter cost $93,750 to $105,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Reviews
Thank you for recommending Aqua Life. We like new / modern boats and this one was great — and a perfect size for our family.
The crew was amazing too. Very accommodating and proactive. The captain very professional and always looking for things we could do to stay entertained and have fun.
The chef was great— we like to eat healthy and she totally understood as and delivered big time!
All in all, we couldn’t be happier.
Thank you!!!
to the exceptional adventures - each day was perfect (Beware of the honks from Adi, un likes to scare people for fun).
We couldn't have asked for a better vacation and look forward to looking back and reminiscing about our amazing time thank you!
Thank you for showing us such a fun and adventurous time!
Captain Lucas, Laura, Mario, and Yoann,
Thanks for a fabulous time! You guys are the best!
Thank you or the delish BBC smoothies! (& Patron shots) hehe you guys are amazing!
Had a Blast – Thanks for everything! If you are ever in VA – look us up! Chef Mario, Richard Gere, Yoyo, & Laura Love you all bunches!
Great friends and a wonderful crew. The time of my life! Love to you all!"
The week spent with you was incredible. Thank you for helping us make more amazing family memories. We loved each and every day; the effort that each of you put into this charter was so appreciated. We were and are a big loud New York group and you nailed it!! XOXO to all!! We truly hope to be able to do this again!!"
“Yoann Boats,” “Cool Hand Luke” & “Laura Layover” Best Crew Ever!!
Thank you to the most incredible crew. You all made our vacation magical.
Jokes: Laura is the best at getting out stains, Lucas has a great hand, but we are taking Mario to New York, Yoann’s nickname is Boats & Hoes."
Thank you for the best dive trip ever. Awesome service and crew!
We had the time of our life on Aqua Life! The crew made it perfect and the boat was amazing!
Thank you for a truly great week!"
I am thrilled to say I have just wired a 22% tip for crew to the Aqua Life account!
The clients were absolutely thrilled with the yacht and the crew. They “had an amazing time” “could not have imagined or expected better” “the crew worked really well with the crew on Squalo and they all made it such a fabulous holiday and 60th celebration”.
I saw the coordination and teamwork that went into this on the WhatsApp group and you all did an amazing job. Captain Peter thank you for the tender transport back and forth and for all of the extra effort. You really went above and beyond, I truly appreciate it. As previous crew, I know what it takes and there would have been many captains that would have told me no. From start to finish you were the complete professional and always said we can make it happen. Thank you."
