Motorsailer Yacht Omnia

A.P.A. (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is a separate payment—typically around %30-40 of the charter price—made in addition to the base charter fee. It is used to cover a wide range of expenses that are not included in the charter price. These may include, but are not limited to: fuel for cruising and water sports, food and drinks, marina and port charges, customs and local taxes, waste disposal, shore power, laundry, onshore transportation, excursions, and any special equipment or services requested by the guests.

This allowance ensures that the yacht can be fully provisioned and responsive to the preferences of the charter party. The captain manages the APA during the trip and keeps a record of all expenditures. If the total spending exceeds the prepaid amount, the client is expected to cover the difference during the charter. Any unused funds are refunded at the end of the voyage.
It’s important to note that the A.P.A. does not include gratuities for the crew, which are at the discretion of the client.
