What’s Included in the Base Charter Fee vs Plus Expenses

Begin with a concrete rule: treat the base charter fee as your anchor, then add Plus Expenses for fuel, port charges, and onshore visits to keep the plan flexible and the trip truly fabulous. For Freedom Benetti, the base weekly price starts around US$500,000, varying by season, itinerary, and yacht size. If you are planning reunions or family gatherings, outline what sits in the base package and what goes into Plus Expenses. The English crew helps with visit planning and on-water activities, and the interiors offer a moment to marvel at the water, a truly gorgeous setting for a night aboard with friends and family. This is crewed, not bareboat, so you’ll have personal service from start to finish.

What’s included in the Base Charter Fee

The base charter fee covers the yacht for the charter period, a full crew (captain, engineer, deck crew, and stewards), comprehensive safety gear and liability coverage, Wi‑Fi, and a provisioning package that includes breakfasts and lunches plus non-alcoholic beverages. You also gain access to the main salon, decks, water toys, and a personal on-board host. The crew is english and ready to assist with visit planning, on-water activities, and port calls. The rental setup aims to deliver a good, relaxed atmosphere with fabulous spaces that support private evenings, social nights, and a personal touch that makes guests feel truly cared for. The package works well for other events like family reunions or corporate get-togethers looking for a flexible rental that shines in water views and candlelit moments.

Plus Expenses to budget

Plus expenses cover fuel usage, marina and port charges, tenders, private onshore visits and excursions, and provisioning beyond the baseline (premium wines, special meals, and guests’ preferences). Fuel is charged as a separate expense, and you’ll see quotes per week based on distance and speed. Plan for typical stops that can range from US$2,000 to US$20,000 per stop, depending on port and season. Expect provisioning for high-end meals and beverages to add tens of thousands of dollars, based on guest count and menu. For a short, lively trip with several visits and events, start with around US$100,000–$200,000 in Plus Expenses; for longer itineraries, peak-season routes, or more extensive celebrations, budget US$250,000–$400,000 or more. Advise your crew on the guest look and onshore plans so the team can tailor excursions and ensure every visit runs smoothly. This approach works for either intimate nights or larger gatherings, and helps you manage the total price while keeping the experience very personal and memorable.

Fuel Usage, Port Fees, and Tender Operations

Estimate fuel needs leg-by-leg and add a 15–20% buffer to your budget; because winds and currents shift, round forecasts up to avoid fuel shortfalls between ports. Look at the range at your chosen speed and base hours of operation rather than distance alone. Looking at ship data aboard, the captain checks the gauge before each leg and adjusts for a water refuel or a break at a port if needed. Crew perform a quick check of fuel levels at every port.

Port fees often vary by hub, LOA, and season; usually the charges cover berth, water, electricity, waste handling, and security. The total divides into fixed berthing and variable service components. To avoid surprises, check the source (источник) in the contract and confirm what’s included. In major hubs, expect roughly USD 5,000–20,000 per night for large yachts, with smaller ports at USD 1,000–5,000 per night; throughout peak weeks, rates can spike within prime marinas. Look for round rates or fixed fees, and confirm any extra piloting, cargo, or handling charges with local authorities. During docking, align fenders along the beam to protect the hull.

Within tender operations, run 1–2 tenders for guest transfers and water-sport runs. Plan for 2–3 round trips daily and keep a guaranteed reserve of fuel and spare batteries. Aboard, your crew checks fuel, battery status, and engine oil each morning; ensure water for onshore provisioning and a safe launch-and-recovery procedure. Local suppliers and owners’ preferences matter: when guests are looking for gourmet food ashore, coordinate with the chef and captain to schedule meals and transfers. If someone aboard requests a different itinerary, adjust on the fly. This approach stays valid year after year.

Provisioning, Fine Dining, and Beverage Packages

Start with a turnkey provisioning plan based on guest count and a 7-day cycle, then align with the kitchen team to craft a Mediterranean dining narrative on deck.

The provisioning framework centers on three pillars: types of goods, portion control, and delivery cadence. The benettis crew coordinates with onboard chefs to ensure fresh seafood, citrus, and herbs land in excellent condition for each course; if preferences shift, adjust again with minimal disruption.

• Types of provisioning: fresh produce, fish and shellfish, meats, dairy, pantry staples, and luxury items such as caviar or truffles for celebration nights.
• Delivery cadence: perishables daily, dry goods weekly, with separate checklists for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night bites.
• Portion planning: standard portions per person, plus a 10–15% buffer for popular courses to minimize waste and keep each plate balanced.
• Dietary alignment: collect questions in advance and build a dietary matrix so across the guest list every person receives the same level of care.
• Wine and beverage strategy: pairings by course with Mediterranean varietals, plus non-alcoholic options that pair well with the menu.

Fine dining execution hinges on a clear structure and smooth pacing. The 3-course dinner plan, with optional amuse-bouche, keeps service carefree and elegant, while lunch offers 2-course market concepts that travel well on deck.

1. Menu rotation: a 7-day cycle that emphasizes coastal and island flavors across regions, with weekly tasting nights to highlight seasonal produce.
2. Galley and service rhythm: align the kitchen, steward, and sommelier to maintain a steady tempo regardless of sea state.
3. Course progression: starter, main, dessert, each with thoughtful plating and precise portions that guests can revisit if desired.

Beverage packages deliver choice without surprise. Use three tiers–Classic, Premium, and Custom–to cover most preferences, with a watchful eye on expense and waste.

1. Classic: house wines by the glass, local beers, mineral water, sodas, coffee, and tea; guest ranges from 60–120 USD per person per week.
2. Premium: reserve wines, Champagne, cocktails, premium spirits, cold-pressed juices; guest ranges from 120–250 USD per person per week.
3. Custom: bespoke tasting experiences, rare spirits, and private label options; price is set after supplier confirmation and guest approval.

Budgeting guidance: beverage ranges cover most tastes, and available upgrades align with rental budgets.

For sourcing, rely on award-winning producers and across-the-board quality. Use a single rental procurement plan to keep spend predictable and transparent, and run a weekly check to compare actual vs planned spend–this keeps the overall expense in check and ensures the menu stays fantastic without surprises. Watching waste and portion adherence is part of the routine.

Crew Gratuities, Communications, and Onboard Services

Stel fooien in op 15-20% van het wekelijkse chartertarief, contant betaalbaar aan het einde van de reis voor transparantie en motivatie. Deze lange, persoonlijke aanpak beloont de gehele bemanning – van de kapitein en ingenieurs tot stewards en koks – op jachten van alle formaten. Voor bestemmingen in de mediterranée of afgelegen routes, pas dit aan binnen dat bereik om de servicelevels en uitgaven in charter-briefings weer te geven. Als u reist met een vrijgezellenfeest of een gezinsgroep, moet het fooi het leven aan boord weerspiegelen en de extra inspanning tijdens moeilijke passages of zonsondergangsovergangen tussen havens.

Stel aan boord communicatie in met een helder plan: koop vooraf een satellietdatapakket en stel een vast budget in, meestal gedeeld onder de gasten. Het gepubliceerde plan in de charterbrief helpt u om het gebruik te beoordelen, zodat u om annulering kunt vragen of aanpassingen kunt doen voordat het een verrassing wordt. Bij bareboat-charters regelen gasten de connectiviteit in de haven, terwijl grotere jachten robuustere systemen bieden die worden beheerd door specialisten, waardoor betrouwbaar contact wordt gegarandeerd tijdens de zeevaart of tussen bestemmingen. Specifieke verzoeken met betrekking tot bestemmingen kunnen voorafgaande voorbereiding vereisen.

Aan boord services vereisen vooruitzien: bevestig een schema met specialisten voor chef-ervaringen, spa-behandelingen, watersporten en zonsondergang charters. Voor vrijgezellenfeesten of mijlpaalvieringen, pas de routes aan zodat ze passen bij de sfeer en houd de kosten binnen budget, terwijl je tevens tijd vrijhoudt voor het leven aan boord en rustige baaien tussen drukke dagen. Zorg ervoor dat serviceniveaus duidelijk gedocumenteerd zijn, zodat gasten weten wat gegarandeerd is en wat extra kosten met zich mee kan brengen.

Kostenoverzicht Plus Reisverschotten voor een 7-daags Reisschema

Plan vooruit voor een familie charter: houd een duidelijke wekelijkse verdeling bij voor brandstof- en voedselkosten, reserveer dan meer voor diners en ervaringen. Deze persoonlijk op maat gemaakte aanpak is geschikt voor veel gasten aan boord van Freedom Benetti, die een kruissnelheid en ruimte voor privéleven biedt. De meeste kosten ontstaan voordat u vertrekt, terwijl de bestemming en het aantal eilandstops dat u kiest, de uiteindelijke totale kosten bepalen. Dit gegarandeerde pakket belooft warme avonden, stadsbezoeken en rondtrips waarmee u niet-essentiële uitgaven kunt verminderen. Gebruik afbeeldingen van eerdere charters om te plannen wat u wilt upgraden en stem uw budget daarop af, zodat u de bemanning kunt bedanken voor hun consistent hoogwaardige service. Terwijl u op zee bent, plan dan meer tijd op het dek of in de spa in plaats van van de ene haven naar de andere te haasten.
