The Advanced Provisioning Allowance makes yacht holidays simple and comfortable. All common expenses are paid in advance. Personal funds can be saved for pleasant extras like souvenirs, excursions, or restaurant dinners.
What's Included in the APA?
The skipper and travelers discuss yachting expenses in advance to meet expectations. The simplest and most common method is the Advanced Provisioning Allowance fund, which is 25% to 30% of the charter fee.
Standard APA expenses include:
- Fuel for yacht and tender
- Water tank refills
- Mooring fees in Croatian ports and marinas
- Food and beverages for the week (if there's a hostess)
May be added upon agreement:
- National park entrance fees (Kornati, Mljet, Krka)
- Communication and utilities
