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 ($29,750 - $47,600), making the charter cost $148,750 to $166,600. 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.
