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 sailboat like WHISPER, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price ($11,250 - $22,500), making the charter cost $86,250 to $97,500. 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
Captain was excellent. Please pass on our thanks and enjoyment to the Owner. We would love to charter again! It was a memorable trip. Altogether a big success!!
We had a very nice time. This is really an excellent yacht, the best I have been on in a long time, in terms of appearance, upkeep, amenities, etc. Also the crew was the best we have had. This one gets very good reviews.
