Cash or Credit?
Cash or Credit? Either is fine in yachting hotspots in the Caribbean. Although your AMX works well in many mainland spots, it is less accepted in the Caribbean.
ATMs abound everywhere across Europe for good reason.
Always carry cash for tips, taxi rides, and small beach bars. Being prepared avoids stress and extra costs.
Credit cards can’t usually be used to pay for yacht charters. We accept any card up to 60 days in advance, with a 3% fee. Use another payment method closer to your trip. Occasionally, special deals may not accept credit cards. We require additional paperwork to accept Credit Cards.
Crew Gratuities are always appreciated in cash. If you are going on a European yacht charter, then bring Euros. If you are going to the Caribbean, then US Dollars are fine. It is generally possible to have your gratuity deposited for us to release to the crew after the charter on your say-so with your final payment.
Then, you avoid the entire cash or credit scenario.
