Financial Transparency: Inclusions and Exclusions on Your Charter
One hallmark of a professional luxury service is complete financial transparency. When booking a yacht charter Ibiza, it is essential to understand exactly what is covered by the fixed charter fee versus the additional costs that are paid separately, such as the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance). Knowing the inclusions and exclusions ensures a stress-free budget with no hidden surprises.

- Vessel Rental: The use of the yacht for the specified time period.
- Crew Salaries: The professional fees for the captain and any additional crew members (deckhand, stewardess).
- Insurance: Comprehensive insurance for the yacht and all guests on board.
- Home Port Mooring: Docking fees at the yacht’s designated home port.
Most day charters also include courtesy drinks, soft drinks, and snorkeling gear.
Key Exclusions (Variable Costs)
The exclusions, which are typically paid for by the APA (for multi-day charters) or calculated post-charter (for day charters), represent the variable consumption costs:
- Fuel Consumption: This is the largest variable cost, highly dependent on the itinerary (e.g., cruising the high-speed yacht charter Ibiza Formentera route versus anchoring locally).
- Provisioning: All food and beverages beyond the standard complimentary offering, including special catering requests.
- Moorings Outside Home Port: Any charges for overnight or temporary docking at external marinas (e.g., Formentera).
- Taxes: Spanish VAT (21%) is applied to the charter fee and any additional services.
A clear breakdown of these yacht charter Ibiza inclusions and exclusions provides the assurance of a transparent, professional booking.
