From Charter Show to Your Dream Yacht: How to Charter the Perfect Superyacht

Fresh from the MYBA Charter Show at Portosole Marina, we return with one clear mission: to curate the most exceptional superyacht experiences in the Mediterranean.

Behind closed docks, this is where the world’s finest yachts gather where we step onboard, meet the crew, taste the cuisine, and experience each yacht exactly as our clients would.

Because true luxury isn’t about brochures it’s about knowing exactly what awaits you.

In just a few days, we inspected 88 yachts ranging from 20m to 89m, spanning leading shipyards such as Lagoon, Rosetti, Turquoise, Baglietto, Sanlorenzo, and Lürssen—giving us a comprehensive view of the very best the market has to offer.

Understanding Charter Pricing

Yacht charter pricing is transparent once you know the structure:

Charter Rate

This is the base weekly rate of the yacht.
It includes:

  • Yacht rental
  • Crew services
  • Standard equipment
  • Concierge service
  • Ultimate tailormade charter experience

 

APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance)

Typically 30–40% of the charter rate, APA covers:

  • Fuel
  • Food & beverages
  • Port fees
  • Activities & special requests

It works like a running account, managed by the captain, with full transparency and final reconciliation.

 

VAT

VAT depends on the cruising location (e.g., France, Italy, Croatia) and is applied on top of the charter rate.

Example
For a €200,000/week yacht:

  • Charter rate: €200,000
  • APA (30%): €60,000
  • VAT (approx. 10–20% depending on location)

Estimated total: €280,000 – €300,000+

Mediterranean Destination Guide: Where Will Your Journey Take You?

A superyacht charter is more than a destination—it’s the freedom to experience multiple worlds in one journey. From iconic coastlines to hidden anchorages, every region offers a different rhythm, best discovered by sea.

French Riviera — Glamour & Lifestyle

Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Cannes

A timeless playground of elegance and energy.
Think champagne afternoons, world-class beach clubs, fine dining, and vibrant nightlife—all seamlessly connected along a sun-drenched coastline.

Italy — Culture, Scenery & Gastronomy

Amalfi Coast, Capri, Sardinia

Dramatic cliffs, colourful villages, and unforgettable cuisine.
Cruise from one iconic setting to another—morning swims in hidden coves, afternoons exploring historic towns, and evenings dining under the stars.

 Greece — Island-Hopping Freedom

Mykonos, Santorini, Cyclades

Thousands of islands, each with its own personality.
From lively beach scenes to untouched anchorages, Greece offers the perfect balance between energy and tranquillity.

 Croatia — Emerging Luxury

Dubrovnik, Hvar, Dalmatian Coast

Crystal-clear waters, historic charm, and a more relaxed pace.
Ideal for those seeking beauty, culture, and a refined yet understated experience.

 Beyond the Mediterranean

For those looking further afield, destinations such as the Bahamas, Southeast Asia, or the South Pacific offer extraordinary alternatives—from turquoise lagoons to remote island escapes.

Why This Matters

Every yacht we recommend has been personally inspected, experienced, and carefully selected.
From the energy of the crew to the quality of the cuisine, from the flow of the design to the atmosphere onboard—every detail is considered.

Because a superyacht charter is more than a holiday.
It is time well spent, shared with the right people, in the right place, on the right yacht.

And that is exactly what we are here to create.
