FAQ
Why such a price gap between yachts of the same size?+
Year, shipyard, crew, equipment (water toys, jet-skis, submersible, helipad), recent refit. A recent 50m Lürssen costs 4× a 15-year-old 50m.
Is fuel included?+
No. Fuel runs through APA. Roughly €1,000-2,000/day at cruising speed for a 25m, up to €10,000/day for a superyacht in transit.
Any hidden fees?+
No. The MYBA contract itemises everything: charter fee, APA, taxes, delivery/redelivery. Your broker walks every line with you.
Is the price negotiable?+
Off-season: yes, 10-15% discounts are common. July-August: the best boats go at list, sometimes with a peak premium.
