Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like CUPCAKE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($33,000 - $52,800), making the charter cost $165,000 to $184,800. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Reviews
Thanks for an amazing time that exceeded all expectations. The crew, led by Captain Nick's skills (functioning way beyond his years), made the trip truly exceptional. The Interiors team rock-solid performance and the phenomenal chef, added to the outstanding experience. The attention to detail in boat cleanliness and the top-notch amenities (the beds, the sheets, the air conditioning, the water pressure in the showers) were simply outstanding. The tenders and seabobs made for perfect adventures, like swimming alongside a big turtle. My friends and I are still buzzing about this trip, with memories that will last a lifetime. Cheers to Cupcake and its crew for making us feel like royalty!
