Approximate Figures for Luxury Charter

According to the company itself:

• Weekly charter rates range from about €15,000 to over €150,000, depending on the yacht and the season.
• A well-managed yacht can generate between €300,000 and over €600,000 per season through charter management.
• The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically 25 to 35% of the base charter rate.

What Is the APA and How Does It Work?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance is a deposit that the client pays in advance along with the charter price to cover trip expenses: fuel, food, beverages, mooring fees, and taxes. The captain keeps track of the expenses, and at the end of the charter, the difference is settled—any surplus is refunded, and any shortfall is charged. This is standard practice in MYBA contracts.

Charter Management: What to Keep in Mind

• Schedule: Decide at the beginning of the season which weeks you’ll reserve for your personal use.
• Crew: A good team on board is what keeps clients coming back.
• Maintenance: Charter operations require a boat in impeccable condition; schedule the refit for the winter.
• Transparency: Request regular financial reports detailing income and expenses.
• Insurance and regulations: The boat must meet all requirements for commercial use.
