Additional Expenses – APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance)
The APA covers all expenses during the charter. All costs related to fuel and water consumption, food, beverages and alcoholic drinks, as well as port and canal fees, are charged in addition to the charter price. This is standard practice for luxury crewed yacht rentals.
The client pays an advance amount that covers all these extra charges. The captain is responsible for managing these payments throughout the trip and providing the client with detailed receipts at the end of the vacation. This amount, known as the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), is intended to enhance the level of service by allowing the client to enjoy the holiday without being distracted by daily expenses.
As a temporary expense, the APA usually ranges from 20% to 40% of the charter fee, depending on the level of service and quality the client requests. Since a yacht holiday includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and alcohol, the APA represents a significant amount.
Naturally, if the full APA amount is not used by the end of the trip, the remaining balance is refunded to the client. However, if additional expenses arise, the client will be asked to settle the outstanding balance on board before departure.
