When do I pay for a yacht charter?
Normally 50 percent on signing the charter agreement and the balance, with APA, around 30 days before boarding. Bookings made inside 30 days are paid in full on signing.
Funds go to the central agent or broker client account under a MYBA or IYBA charter agreement, not to the yacht directly. That agreement is what protects you: it names the yacht, the dates, the area, the party, the rate and what happens if things go wrong. We will not take a booking on anything less. If a company asks for a wire to a personal account without a standard-form contract, walk away.
