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.
