APA Explained
APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is the usual way guest running expenses are handled on crewed yacht charters. The published weekly rate for M/Y Lio Black Knight is plus expenses — not an all-inclusive package.
What APA typically covers
- Fuel for the yacht and tender
- Food and beverages to the guest’s brief
- Mooring / marina and many port costs
- Other agreed running costs during the charter
How much?
APA is commonly discussed in the region of roughly 30–35% of the charter fee as a planning guide, then reconciled against actual spend with supporting invoices. Exact figures depend on itinerary, fuel burn, marina nights and guest preferences — your proposal will spell this out.
What the weekly rate already includes
Yacht, professional crew of four (including private chef), tender and water-toy inventory as listed on the yacht pages. See rates & availability and enquire for a clear written breakdown before you book.
