Charter questions
What is APA?
APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is an advance payment used to cover expenses such as fuel, food, beverages, berthing fees, and other operational costs during the charter. It is typically 25-30% of the total charter fee. All expenditures are transparently logged by the captain, and any remaining balance is refunded at the end of the trip.
What is included in the yacht charter price?
The charter price generally includes the weekly yacht hire, professional crew services, domestic water, and the yacht's insurance. Fuel, provisions (food and drinks), and port fees are covered separately via APA. Specific inclusions may vary depending on the yacht.
Are pets allowed on board?
At Nautique Yachting, we love your furry friends! However, pet policies vary by yacht. While many of our yachts are pet-friendly, some may have restrictions due to hygiene or interior material sensitivity. Please consult our team before booking to find the most suitable options for your pet.
Can we use the yacht’s tender boat?
For safety and legal reasons, the yacht’s tender boat may only be operated by a professional captain or crew member. Our crew will safely handle your shore transfers and assist with any water sports activities.
How can we arrange transportation?
To ensure a seamless start to your holiday, we provide private VIP transfer services from the airport to the marina. Please contact our operations team before your arrival to arrange your luxury transfer with professional drivers.
Is it suitable for children?
Absolutely! A blue cruise is a wonderful experience for families and children. Our yachts are equipped with safety gear, and our crews are experienced in hosting young guests. For families with children, we often recommend catamarans for their extra space and stability.
What should I wear on board?
Casual summer wear and swimwear are sufficient throughout the day. For hygiene and deck protection, outdoor shoes are not worn on board; soft-soled deck shoes or bare feet are preferred. We also recommend a light jacket for breezy evenings.
How is the itinerary created? Can we add places we want to visit?
Our itineraries are shaped by our captains' expertise and your preferences. We are happy to include your requested stops as long as weather and sea conditions permit. You can consult our experts to design a tailor-made itinerary just for you.
