What does “plus expenses” mean?
When chartering larger motor yachts, the fee often excludes running costs like food, dockage, and fuel. Instead of an all-inclusive rate, you’re charged separately for these expenses.
You might find fully crewed, all-inclusive yacht charters in the Caribbean—a rarity worldwide. Elsewhere, expect to pay additional expenses on top of the charter fee.
In Europe, even the catamarans operate on a “plus expenses” basis.
The typical charter fee covers the yacht, crew, crew meals, and onboard amenities.
Just to let you know, you’ll need to budget an extra 25%-45% of the charter fee. This is called the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance). The captain tracks expenditures and updates you on the total cost.
“Plus expenses” can be beneficial, as it’s challenging to predict costs for food, drinks, and other necessities on a mega yacht. For more guidance, contact the H2O Luxury Yachts team.
