The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a standard term in yacht charters. It's an upfront payment made by the charterer to cover the yacht's expenses like fuel, food, mooring fees, and onboard services during the trip. The APA is typically around 30% of the yacht charter fee. The Ocean Pearl's Captain manages this fund, tracks expenses, and provides a breakdown at the end. Any remaining funds are returned, or the charterer covers extra costs if the APA is exceeded. It simplifies expenses and ensures a smooth yacht charter experience for you.

The crew gratuity is a customary tip given to the yacht's crew by the charterer as a token of appreciation for their excellent service. Typically calculated as a percentage of the charter fee, gratuity is a way for guests to acknowledge the crew's hard work, professionalism, and dedication throughout their yacht charter experience. The customary range for crew gratuity is around 10% of the total charter cost. The crew gratuity is not mandatory, it is totally at the charterer's discretion.
