Estimate weekly charter rates for 40–200ft vessels worldwide
Weekly charter rates depend on four main factors: yacht length, type (motor vs sail), region, and season. This calculator uses 2026 MYBA market data to produce a realistic base rate range — plus a full breakdown of what you'll actually pay once APA, fuel, and taxes are added.

The Advance Provisioning Allowance is a refundable deposit — typically 30–40% of the base rate — paid before the charter to cover running costs: fuel, food and beverages, marina fees, and port taxes. Any unspent portion is returned to you at the end of the trip.
Actual charter rates are set by individual vessel owners and brokers. This calculator produces market-range estimates based on 2026 MYBA data. For a firm quote, contact a licensed charter broker with the specific vessel in mind.

Yacht charter pricing follows a predictable structure once you understand the components. The base rate is just the starting point — what you actually pay depends on several additional costs that brokers are required to disclose upfront under MYBA contract terms.
Most experienced charterers budget using a simple rule: base rate + 35% APA + 10% taxes/fees = total trip cost. On a $80,000/week charter that means roughly $116,800 all-in per week.
APA is a deposit, not a fixed fee. If you plan a passage-heavy itinerary with minimal marina stops and modest provisioning, ask the broker to set APA at 30% rather than 40%. Any unspent amount is yours.
Our main calculator shows the full annual cost of ownership for any yacht size — and compares it directly against chartering the equivalent boat.
