APA
Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is an advance payment required to be made to fund estimated boarding costs of the charter and is used to cover the costs of yacht preparation, requested supplies, port, mooring, diesel and fuel, communications, crew gratuities, extras and depends on guest particular requests for services, itinerary, food, beverages etc. In case APA is not entirely used during the charter, the remaining balance is returned to the charterer at the end of the trip. In case the expenses exceed the APA, guests can be asked to pay the additional part.

The APA expenses can be viewed online at any time during the charter. The link for the APA will be sent with the boarding instructions. APA varies from 20% to 30% depending on the yacht. Any outstanding accounts will be settled with the Captain onboard and in cash/credit card prior to disembarkation. In case clients receive an A.P.A. refund, this will be wired on the first business day following the Charterer’s disembarkation.

VAT
(Value added tax) is currently 12 -13% in Greece. If any changes in VAT occur prior to the commencement of the charter, then this cost will be paid extra by the charterer with the balance payment or credited to the charterer.

Itineraries
Itineraries are subject to weather conditions. If for circumstances this prevents sailing to a certain planned area the captain will aim to do his best —but ultimately, he is responsible for the guests’ safety and the safety of the boat.
