How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Yacht in the Caribbean? | YATR Guide

The Caribbean is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and vibrant ecosystems, including stunning coral reefs. Known for offering both secluded, tranquil spots and lively, culturally rich destinations, the region is a top choice for luxury yacht charters. With its abundance of water activities like snorkeling, diving, and water sports, the Caribbean is an ideal location for those seeking adventure or relaxation. Many of the Caribbean's islands are only accessible by boat, making a yacht charter the perfect way to explore hidden coves and exclusive, off-the-beaten-path locations. But how much does it cost to charter a yacht in this paradise? Let’s break it down.

When planning a multi-day yacht charter in the Caribbean, understanding the pricing structure is essential. Here’s how costs are typically calculated:

  1. Base Rate: The nightly cost of the yacht (minimum 2 nights).

  2. APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): 35% of the base rate, covering expenses like: fuel (for cruising and onboard equipment), food and beverages (tailored to your preferences), dockage fees (charges for docking at marinas), and any additional costs (special requests like water toys or catering).

  3. Taxes: Regional VAT or local taxes, which vary by island.
