The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA)
The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is designed to cover the operating expenses of a charter such as, fuel (for the yacht, her tenders and motorized water toys), food, drinks, land services, electronic communications, canal fees, harbor dues, local taxes and marina fees outside Greek waters, or private marinas. Depending on the number of guests, type of yacht and duration of the charter, the APA will vary. A 25% to 30 % down payment of the total of the APA is prepaid cash by the client to the Yacht representative at the start of the charter. Your yacht will be fully fuelled and provisioned (if you have filled the provision list prior to the charter) when you step on board. Whilst an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the charter. If during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once. All outstanding bills should be settled in cash before final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. Should reimbursement be effected by bank transfer all bank charges, if any, will be covered by APA.
Should the itinerary change in the course of the charter upon client request, our captains will inform our clients accordingly should there be an additional petrol consumption to settle. For more than a day charter (one night two days, and charters less than 7 days), Yachts are rendered to client full tank and should be redelivered by client full tank.
