Hidden Costs: Fuel, Port Fees, Taxes, Insurance, and Gratuities
Set aside a separate line item for fuel, port fees, taxes, insurance, and gratuities–budget 25–40% of your base weekly charter rate to avoid surprises. For DE LISLE III, define your cost index before you sail so you can keep the week free for cruising and experiences that deliver true luxury for your guests.
Fuel costs hinge on itinerary and cruising speed. A mid-size private yacht burns roughly 150–350 gallons per hour at cruising pace; with diesel at prevailing rates around $4–$7 per gallon, a typical week could push fuel and running expenses to $15,000–$40,000 depending on how far south you head and how many islands you visit. Track consumption in real time to enjoy maximum efficiency in natural waters.
Port fees vary by destination and marina class. In high-demand hubs down south such as the south of France or Caribbean islands, dockage and mooring charges run roughly $2,000–$6,000 per week, while premium ports can reach $6,000–$15,000. If your plan includes several stops, separate docking budgets for each port help you keep the itinerary elegant and predictable.
Taxes depend on the jurisdiction; VAT ranges from 0% to 20% of the charter price in many regions, and some charges may be included or billed separately. Insurance typically runs 0.5%–2% of the base charter price per week and covers hull, liability, and crew; make sure youre comfortable with the coverage before departure.
Gratuities typically 5–15% of the base weekly rate, distributed to captain, chef, and deck crew after the experiences onboard. If youre planning a sophisticated voyage, consider a higher gesture to reflect the elevated service, especially when interiors and seating arrangements are beautifully crafted to entertain guests under the stars.
Further forward, review a weekly cost index and compare itineraries by waters and islands to optimize your week. Break the voyage into experiences so you can enjoy the south routes with elegance and sophisticated service that define yachting, while ensuring entertainment and chef-prepared dining for your guests.
