Jacuzzi, gym, and toys. LADY J is a 142ft Palmer Johnson motor yacht built in 1997 and refit in 2017, set up to keep a full group entertained without having to “make your own fun.”
Outdoor living done properly. The sundeck brings the payoff with a deck Jacuzzi and wet bar for long afternoons, plus sun pads when the group splits between shade and tanning. Short hop to the swim platform and you are straight into the water.
Serious water time. Two Yamaha VXR 1800 Waverunners, wakeboards, adult and kids waterskis, kayaks, paddleboards, and towables. Also on board: snorkeling gear and scuba diving equipment with an onboard air compressor for certified divers.
Sleeps 12 in five. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in 5 suites, including an on-deck primary suite with a king bed and a Jacuzzi tub, plus two queen cabins and two twin cabins (each with an extra single/trundle option). Flexible enough for families, or five couples who like options.

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 LADY J, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($32,250 - $51,600), making the charter cost $161,250 to $180,600. 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.

| 3 day charter | 64,500USD to 67,500USD | 12,900USD to 20,250USD | 77,400USD to 87,750USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 129,000USD / 6 * 3 days = 64,500USD |
