What is Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA)?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a budget additional to the base yacht charter fee set aside in a separate APA account. The APA covers costs like fuel, food, drinks, port fees, and any other miscellaneous expenses that occur during the yacht charter.

APA is a standard practice in Mediterranean crewed luxury yacht charters. On all yachts operating under MYBA terms, the APA amount is outlined in the charter agreement and is usually set at around 25-40% of the base charter fee.

In the Caribbean, charter fees are often all-inclusive, meaning the APA is already calculated into the total charter price.

The idea of the APA is to have a fund that the yacht captain can use to provision the boat according to your preferences and needs without needing to clear every expense with you during the trip. At the end of the charter, the captain will provide an itemized list of all expenditures, and if the Advance Provisioning Allowance exceeds the costs, you will get a refund of the difference. If the costs exceed the APA, you’ll need to pay the extra amount.
