Question 1

Rates & terms

Accepted Answer

yacht indonesia It is an industry standard to give the charter rates based on a week. In most cases, a yacht is offered for a minimum of seven days. However, this can vary depending on the Owner’s policy and the yacht’s calendar. For a short-term charter (less than seven days), there is an extra cost which is calculated by dividing the weekly rate by six to obtain the daily rate, which is then multiplied by the number of charter days. For charter periods of seven days or more, the rate is calculated on a pro-rata based on the weekly rate which is then divided by seven.

Different rates apply depending on peak and off-peak seasons. A high season rate in the summer is quoted for July and August and the same applies for Christmas and New Year’s Eve in the winter. Major events are also priced at a high season rate. All other months are quoted at a low season rate.

The use of watercrafts might be restricted in certain cruising areas which require an appropriate operating license. The broker will provide the specific guidelines ahead of the charter.
