How much do you tip a private yacht charter?
If chartering a superyacht in the Mediterranean, tip of 10% is acceptable.

In the Caribbean, in particular on vessels crewed or managed by US teams, the tip is usually set at 20% obligatory.

The average cost of a superyacht charter for 3-days is likely to cost around 20,000 Eur plus VAT and APA Expenses. This can be less if it is in low season or if the yacht is older than 10 years. Newer boats during peak of the season could only be chartered for 7 or even 10 days as a minimum in most cases.
Are there any discounts available?
The discounts are readily available on most yachts and usually at all times. High season weeks on newest yachts will not be discounted in most cases however. The most popular yachts such as Sunreef 80 or new Azimut motor yachts will also in most cases only offer full rates. However, by booking in advance, or by booking longer term and opting for best value yachts rather than best and newest yachts, you can get a reasonable and at times bigger discount.
