How are the charter rates calculated?
All yacht charter rates are calculated on a 24 hour day. So a 7 day charter starting at noon on day #1 and finishing at noon on day #8, is calculated as 7 X 24 hours. You pay for only 7 days, even though it’s actually 8 days and 7 nights. That being said, the hourly rate is different for every yacht, depending on size, inclusions, and whether it is crewed or bareboat. In the Caribbean the summer season may be less expensive than winter. Summer season is May 1st to December 14th. Winter season is December 15th to April 30th. Christmas and New Years usually have an additional fee. Dockage and shore excursions are extra.
