The crew
Every charter comes fully crewed, with a licensed captain and crew who handle navigation, safety and the route throughout. This is included as standard and is not optional, which is exactly why guests need no licence or experience of their own. The crew's job is to keep you safe, look after the boat and let you enjoy the day.
Fuel and the route
Fuel for the standard cruising route is typically included in the hourly rate, so the classic loop past the Palm, Atlantis and the skyline is covered. If you want to venture further afield or add significant extra distance, that may affect the price, so it is worth discussing any special route requests when you book to avoid surprises.
Refreshments and towels
Drinking water, soft drinks and ice are usually provided, along with towels for a swim stop. This covers the basics for a comfortable few hours on the water. Full catering, alcohol and a proper menu are not part of the standard rate, so if you want food beyond light refreshments, that is arranged separately.
On-board equipment
A sound system for your own music is standard on most yachts, as is the safety equipment required by regulation, including life jackets. Sun shade and seating come with the boat. Extras such as a jet ski, other water toys, a jacuzzi (on yachts that have one) and a DJ setup are additional and arranged in advance.
The paid extras
The main things that cost more are catering and a bar, decor for birthdays, weddings or proposals, a DJ, a professional photographer, a jet ski and water toys, and any additional hours or extended route. None of these are hidden; they are simply choices you add to shape the day. We list them clearly in your quote so the all-in price is transparent.
