HOW TO CHARTER
YOUR OWN YACHT
It’s easy. Tell MY OCEAN whether you’re after a vintage or modern yacht and what type of propulsion you favour – sails or motor.
Also, how many cabins will you need, what area of the globe do you wish to visit, what activities might you wish to indulge in and, crucially, what’s your budget.
Charters can cost anything from $50,000 to $3 million, ranging from 25m to over 136m in length. Yacht charter fees do not include things like fuel, harbour moorings, food and beverages. This additional cost is called an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) – usually 30% of the charter fee. In advance, you’ll be given a preference sheet to fill out, detailing what you most like to eat and drink. This is your opportunity to request snacks! You may also wish to factor in a tip for the crew upon completion of the trip, which is typically 15%.
Once you’ve decided on the location, the dates, and which beautiful yacht you’ll be chartering, we can help you organise flights and transfers.
After you’ve disembarked for the final time, MY OCEAN will liaise with the captain regarding how much of the APA has been spent and will refund anything left over. You’ll then be able to start the process all over again and plan your next holiday on the high seas.
