Helipads, spas, dive centres, multiple pools and crews beyond twenty are normal here. Guest capacity usually remains twelve (a near-universal charter rule), which means the ratio of crew, space and equipment per guest is unlike anything smaller.
Pricing is bespoke: headline weekly rates are the entry ticket, with expenses — fuel for transoceanic engines, provisioning to the owner's standard, marquee berthing — quoted per itinerary. The live figures below show what the current market advertises; the right answer for your dates comes from a conversation.
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.
