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 INCEPTION, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($16,250 - $26,000), making the charter cost $81,250 to $91,000. 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.

| 3 day charter | 32,500USD to 37,500USD | 6,500USD to 11,250USD | 39,000USD to 48,750USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 65,000USD / 6 * 3 days = 32,500USD |
