Your Yacht Holiday Guide: Navigating Onboard Expenses

We will ensure that you have your dream holiday, relaxed and just as

created a list of the extra costs along the way and a guide on handling them.

payments for on board expenses. Rest assured as the experienced crew will assist you

throughout. Aside from obvious costs such as crew, there are other costs to be aware of when

on board.

Navigating Onboard Expenses

These costs can be dealt with through APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), which allows

the crew to make provisions on your behalf based on your pre-payment amount. APA is an

excellent way to manage spending because you do not have to be actively involved in

provisioning, but you will still receive a full provisioning list as well as receipts at the end of

the charter. Another method of handling expenses is to deal with payments directly, which

implies that you would handle each expense personally. Aside from obvious costs such as

crew, there are other costs to be aware of when on board.
