Cancellation at the instance of the Ship Captain - In the event of cancellation at the instance of the Ship Captain due to perils of the sea, extreme weather conditions, emergency repairs, and other analogous circumstances were, in the Ship Captain's discretion, the safety and security of the Client and its guests will be imperiled, then the yacht rental booking will be entirely refunded. CHANGE OF THE BOOKING DATE Once the booking is confirmed and signed any change of contracted booking date instigated by the contracting party up to 90 working days prior to the booking date, will incur an administration fee of 10% of the total contracted booking fee. The contracted booking date cannot be changed within 90 working days of the booking date without the full booking fee being incurred. Only one change of date is allowed, and within a year from the date of the change. ADVANCE PROVISIONAL ALLOWANCE (APA) Irrespective of the charter contract it is important for guests to be aware of the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA). The APA was designed to enable charterers to manage their expenses through a clear and trackable arrangement. An APA is a way to deposit the estimated expense amount of your charter to cover costs such as fuel, food and dockage fees. Typically, the APA accrues to approximately 25% to 30% of the base charter fee, though this does of course depend on the charter parties tastes and requirements and could be far less or far greater than this estimation. For instance, charter guests who intend to regularly dine on caviar and vintage wine can expect to pay more, whereas guests on board a sailing yacht charter can expect to save on fuel costs. Charterers can request an estimated APA amount from the yacht broker based on their on board expectations. The APA is to be paid approximately one month prior to boarding the charter yacht and is paid directly to the captain of the yacht. Once the APA has been paid to the captain it will then be retained as a bank account of sorts, from which the captain can make expenditures whilst keeping a record of what has been spent. At any point during the yacht charter guests can request a rundown of accounts from the captain as a way of keeping track of expenditures. The captain will request that any additional funds are paid during the charter should guests exceed the APA. It is therefore a good idea to keep an additional account with your yacht broker on shore, as should the APA become critically low at any time the yacht broker can release additional funds to the captain on the charterers command. Cash can be used if necessary though an onshore account may be deemed as hassle free to some. It is important to remember that food and fuel for example, are charged at cost without markup to the charterer and upon disembarking, transactions can be reviewed by the "head" charterer and captain with any remaining funds to be paid back to the charterer. The APA will be used by the captain to pay all the expenses that are not included in your invoice. The balance will be refunded to the clients after the completion of the experience.
