💸 How much does it cost to charter a yacht for a week in 2025?

Dreaming of a luxury yacht charter but not sure what it really costs? Whether you're planning your first yacht vacation or comparing options for your next escape, this 2025 yacht charter pricing guide breaks it down clearly no fluff, no surprises.

📊 What Influences the Price of a Yacht Charter?

Several factors determine the final cost of a week-long yacht charter:

• Yacht size & type: A 20-meter motor yacht is very different from a 60-meter superyacht.

• Season & destination: Expect higher rates during July-August in the Med or December in the Caribbean.

• Crew size & expertise: From private chefs to water sports instructors.

• Amenities & water toys: Jet skis, Jacuzzis, diving gear, and more can add value—and cost.

💰 What’s the Average Weekly Budget?

Here’s what you can expect for a 7-day private yacht charter in 2025:

🚤 Charter Rate (Base Price):

• 20–25m yacht: From €25,000/week

• 30–35m yacht: From €45,000/week

• 40m+ superyacht: From €90,000/week and beyond

🧾 APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance):

• Usually 25–30% of the charter fee

• Covers: fuel, food, beverages, marina fees, water toys, etc.

💸 Tips & Other Extras:

• Gratuities: Typically 10–15% of the charter rate

• VAT: Varies by cruising area (e.g., 22% in Italy, 0% in international waters)

• Insurance & Transfers: Optional but recommended

💡 How to Charter Smart & Save Money
