Frequently asked

Everything you should know.

How much does it cost to charter a superyacht?+

Weekly charter fees scale with vessel size, region and season. A 100ft yacht in the Mediterranean typically charters for €120k–€180k per week; a 200ft platform €600k–€900k. Add APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) of 25–30% for fuel, provisioning and port fees, and applicable VAT (varies by region).

What is APA and how does it work?+

APA — Advance Provisioning Allowance — is a deposit (typically 25–30% of the charter fee) paid alongside the charter fee. It funds variable expenses underway: fuel, dockage, provisioning, port fees, communications. The captain reconciles APA at the end of the charter and refunds any unspent balance.

How far in advance should I book?+

Med summer charters (July–August) and Caribbean Christmas/New Year typically book 9–12 months ahead. Off-peak weeks and shoulder seasons can be secured 4–8 weeks out. The most desirable yachts in peak weeks book a full year in advance.

Are halal-compliant charters available?+

Yes. Several yachts in our fleet — particularly those based in the GCC — operate as halal-certified by default, with no alcohol on board, halal-only galleys and culturally-sensitive crew briefings. Specify dietary preferences in your inquiry.

How are brokers verified?+

Every broker on the platform is reviewed annually for: a current commercial brokerage license, professional indemnity insurance, flag-state credentials, and at least three years of operating history. Verification is renewed each January.

Do you list off-market yachts for sale?+

The Brokerage Deal Flow Platform — part of our Layer 3 service — gives verified buyers and family offices access to off-market yacht listings. Membership is annual and requires reference checks. Contact the team via the about page.

Can I list my yacht on the platform?+

Yes. Yacht owners and brokerages can list a vessel as Standard (€149/month/yacht) or Featured (€299/month/yacht). Inquiry leads are charged separately on a pay-per-qualified-inquiry basis. See the For Brokers page for full pricing.
