The Yacht Charter Costs That Shocked Our Viewers

In this podcast, David Seal and Katia Damborsky discuss one of the most misunderstood topics in yachting: the real cost of chartering a superyacht. Using the example of a yacht with a headline charter rate of €750,000 per week, they talk through the additional costs that many people do not realise are part of the charter experience, including APA, fuel, food and drinks, VAT, berthing fees, and crew gratuity. They also discuss the reaction to a recent Yachts For Sale video about charter costs, including the comments from viewers who were shocked by the idea of crew tips reaching 10 to 20 percent of the charter fee. This is a relaxed and informative conversation about yacht charter pricing, why transparency matters, and why a good charter broker is essential if you want to understand exactly what you are paying for before you step on board.
