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 REAL SUMMERTIME, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($23,750 - $38,000), making the charter cost $118,750 to $133,000. 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
REAL SUMMERTIME
Broker/Client Feedback - December 2023 - South Florida Itinerary:
I just had separate calls with both [Client] and Captain Robb and it sounds like the charter was a massive success. In [Client's] words he was "blown away and they could not have gotten a better boat". I have never received such a glowing review on crew. He said that everyone was incredible, and he had the best time. He said the vessel was appointed so nicely and he would never have guessed it was 23 years old. Additionally, he raved about the chef. He said the food was some of the best that he has ever had and he cancelled his reservations for dinner because they just wanted to eat on board, it was so good. He called her "out of this world"! He also said that the trip was super fun and he enjoyed snorkeling and swimming with the rays and sharks.
