Advance Provision Allowance or (A.P.A.) acts as a retainer for operating expenses and provisions such as food, beverage, fuel, port fees, dockage and any special requests. Normally this rate is between 25% – 30% of the charter yacht rate depending on destination and requested inventories. All A.P.A. expenses will be accounted for and documented which will be available for the charterer to review with any remaining A.P.A. funds reimbursed to the charterer. Any balance owed to the charter yacht must be paid in full at to final disembarkation.
