APA yacht charter explained: The Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a standard part of most luxury yacht charters, typically set at 25–40% of the base fee of your base charter fee. The APA ensures your captain and crew have the funds needed to deliver a seamless experience—covering everything from fuel and food to docking fees and local taxes.
How APA Works
- Paid in advance with your charter fee
- Managed by the captain for transparency
- Detailed expense tracking and reporting
- Regular updates provided during your trip
- Unused APA refunded after the charter
- Additional funds requested if necessary
