However, it’s important to understand the costs associated with a luxury yacht charter experience. In France, for example, a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 20% is added to the cost of the charter. This can significantly impact the overall cost of the experience, so it’s important to factor it into your budget.
Additionally, many charter agreements include an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) which is a sum of money that is paid upfront to cover the cost of fuel, food, and other expenses during the charter. This allows for easy and hassle-free provisioning during the trip, ensuring that everything is taken care of and allowing guests to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
A luxury yacht charter experience can vary in cost depending on the type of yacht, the destination, and the length of the charter. Typically, luxury yacht charters start at around €15,000 per week for a small yacht and can go up to several hundred thousand euros per week for larger, more luxurious yachts. This cost usually includes the yacht, crew, and insurance, but not expenses such as fuel, food, and drinks.
Despite these additional costs, a luxury yacht charter experience is worth every penny. The memories created and the unparalleled level of service make for an unforgettable vacation that will be remembered for a lifetime. The crew is dedicated to ensuring that your every need is met, and the onboard chef will prepare gourmet meals tailored to your preferences.
Beyond the luxury onboard, a yacht charter allows you to explore the world in a unique way, from secluded beaches and hidden coves to picturesque harbors and bustling marinas. The flexibility of a yacht charter means that you can create a personalized itinerary, allowing you to visit your dream destinations and spend as much time as you desire in each location.
In addition, a luxury yacht charter is perfect for special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. The crew can help plan a celebration that is tailored to your needs, whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a large party with friends and family.
So why not embark on the journey of a lifetime and indulge in a luxury yacht charter experience? With the ultimate level of comfort, personalized service, and the freedom to explore some of the world’s most stunning destinations, a yacht charter promises to be a truly unforgettable experience.
