New to Chartering?

After the availability of your chosen yacht has been verified on line, just click and book on line. You will receive a standard MYBA Charter Agreement with your bill by email. If your chosen cruising itinerary necessitates embarking or disembarking from a point other than your yacht’s home port, positioning charges (delivery/ redelivery fees) may be required and if applicable, will be confirmed in advance when you book on line and affirmed in the Charter Agreement, together with any taxes that may apply.  Its fast, easy and simple. All on line.

The APA is Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. He will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. The amount of this  is usually equivalent to between 10 per cent and 25 per cent of the total charter fee for larger superyacht charter where the catering is all on board. For short one day or weekend trips on vessels under 20M (60ft), an APA is not normally needed and can be discussed with the Captain, depending on your requirements on board for your arrival.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by The Yacht Set or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Smoking is only allowed outside on deck and in the case of some yachts in dedicated outside areas only. Please consult The Yacht Set for verification. For safety reasons, smoking in cabins and staterooms is prohibited on all yachts.

The recreation equipment listed for the yachts is believed to be correct but cannot be guaranteed as they are liable to change at short notice.  The use of the equipment is included in the rate you pay. Should changes become necessary, the owner of the yacht will make every effort possible to comparably replace the equipment. Personal watercraft (jet skis, wave runners etc.) may be restricted in certain cruising areas and guests will also require an appropriate operating licence. Please check with The Yacht set first for any guidelines or if you have any specific requirements in this regard.
