    Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) – Ekmar Yachting

    When you book a private yacht charter with Ekmar Yachting, the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is an essential tool to ensure a seamless and luxurious sailing experience. APA is a widely recognized international system in the yacht charter industry, designed to cover operational costs and additional services during your journey.

    Typically calculated as 30–40% of the total charter fee, APA is provided to the yacht’s captain in advance. It covers essential expenses such as fuel, port and marina fees, provisioning, onboard consumables, and crew gratuities. By pre-allocating these costs, guests enjoy transparency, eliminating unexpected charges during their Mediterranean yacht charter.

    APA allows our professional crew to deliver the highest level of service on board. From gourmet dining with local ingredients, expertly prepared by trained chefs, to water sports activities like paddle boarding, snorkeling, and jet-skiing, all extras are seamlessly handled. Whether you are aboard a traditional Turkish gulet, a modern sailing yacht, or a luxury motor yacht, APA ensures your voyage across Türkiye and Greece is comfortable, well-organized, and unforgettable.

    Guests can also use APA for additional bespoke services, including personalized itineraries, special events, wellness activities, or equipment rental for surfboards, water toys, and diving gear. This flexibility allows you to focus entirely on relaxation, adventure, and creating lifelong memories on your private yacht charter.

    Transparent, convenient, and internationally recognized, the APA system guarantees a worry-free yacht charter with Ekmar Yachting, combining luxury, authenticity, and Mediterranean adventure.
