A term-charter refers to a type of yacht charter arrangement where the charterer rents a yacht for a specified period, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks or months. During the term of the charter, the charterer has exclusive use of the yacht and can typically customize their itinerary and onboard experience to suit their preferences. Term charters are popular among those seeking extended vacations or specific yacht experiences, offering flexibility and privacy for exploring various destinations at leisure. This arrangement often includes the services of a professional crew who cater to the needs of the charter guests throughout the duration of the charter period.

APA, short for Advance Provisioning Allowance, is a critical aspect of yacht charters. It’s an additional fee, typically around 25-35% of the base charter fee, designed to cover various expenses incurred during the charter period, including fuel, food, beverages, mooring fees, and incidentals. The purpose of the APA is to streamline the charter process by providing upfront funding for expenses, eliminating the need for constant communication or approval between the charterer and the yacht crew. At the conclusion of the charter, any unused funds from the APA are refunded to the charterer. Conversely, if expenses exceed the APA, the charterer is responsible for covering the difference. By utilizing the APA system, both charterers and yacht crews can enjoy a smoother and more transparent charter experience.
