You might be wondering: Are there really yacht charters with everything included? The short answer is yes! All-inclusive yacht charters are available, but the majority operate in just a few charter destinations in the world. In fact, the majority take place in the Virgin Islands (both the U.S. and British islands).

All-Inclusive Yacht Charters ? Some charters (mainly catamaran and monohull charters in the Virgin Islands) offer all-inclusive rates. That means rates are based on the number of guests, and they include all food and drink, water sports, and fuel costs. Dockage and taxes, though, are usually charged separately.

And the glaring "plus" that Lee was referring to was the guest's food and drink. That's right, none of that is included in their price and they're billed at the end of their trip.

That is like asking ?how much does a bottle of wine cost?? or ?how much does a car cost?? A private yacht charter can cost anywhere from $2,500 per person per week to $50,000 per person per week. Bottom line ? it can be as affordable or as grand luxe as you choose.

Factors that Affect Yacht Charter Prices The Yacht ? The year the boat was built, the builder, previous owners, and the boat's selection of water toys can also increase the cost of a yacht. Boats can also develop a reputation, i.e. the largest or most luxurious, or having a famous builder or previous owner.

An all-inclusive charter means just that ? everything you need is included in one set fee. This includes your yacht of choice, your captain, your chef/hostess, gourmet food, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and many water sports activities that are personalized for you and your guests.

Who pays for provisions on a yacht? The charter yacht food provisioning is paid for by the charterer as part of their Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). To err on the safe side, we usually recommend budgeting around an additional 35% of the base price of the yacht charter fee to go toward your APA.

Although a yacht will have a base charter fee, this may or may not include additional expenses such as food and fuel and this is subject to the terms and conditions within the charter contract. There are various types of charter contracts and which one applies to you will depend on where you wish to cruise.
