What It Costs to Charter a 30-Metre Yacht

Expect five cabins, a crew of four to six, real toy garages — tenders, Seabobs, paddleboards — and the beginnings of superyacht spaces: a flybridge with a jacuzzi, a beach platform, a dining table that seats everyone. Most of the world's most-chartered yachts live in this band.
The advertised weekly rate again excludes running expenses. On top, allow the customary advance provisioning allowance for fuel, food and drink, plus berthing in marquee ports — Monaco or Capri in August cost more than a quiet Greek island quay.
The advertised rate is only part of the picture — our guides to the expense allowance (APA), fees and taxes and what's included explain the rest in plain English.
