Why are Italy yacht charter prices listed without VAT and APA?
Italy yacht charter prices are shown as a base charter fee because VAT and APA are calculated separately.
VAT is the tax applied to the charter contract. For most crewed yacht charters starting in Italy, clients should budget 22% VAT unless a specific, documented itinerary qualifies for different treatment.
APA, or Advance Provisioning Allowance, is the expense fund used during the charter for fuel, food, drinks, dockage, marina fees, transfers, and special requests. On most luxury yacht charters in Italy, APA is commonly set at 30%-40% of the charter fee. The captain manages it during the charter and provides a final accounting at the end. Unused APA is returned; overspend is settled before disembarkation.
