Bellezza

Charter Fee Includes:

• Hire and insurance of the yacht

• Crew wages and crew food

• Fuel for 4 hours of engine use daily

• 24/7 generator usage

• Tender transfers and tender-operated watersports (donut, waterski, wakeboard, kneeboard)

• Access to recreational and watersports equipment

• Wi-Fi access

All other expenses are an additional expense to the charterer. The additional expenses during a charter are paid for by the ‘Advanced Provisioning Allowance’, known as the ‘APA’ or purchase of Packages (see below).

APA:

The APA comprises 30% of the Charter Fee. The APA is transferred to the boat before the charter starts, so the crew can provision according to your specific requirements before you embark.

This allowance covers various costs including, but not limited to, food and beverages for the Charter Party, port fees, national park entrances, fuel for Personal Watercraft, shipping agents’ fees, custom fees, charter licenses (if cruising in Montenegro or Italy), and other requested services like hiring special equipment, shoreside transport, and excursions during the charter. 

Throughout the charter, the captain diligently maintains records of expenses. At the end of the charter, the Captain will present you with a fully itemised statement of the APA account, with receipts. If the account is in credit, the balance will of course be returned to you. If it is in debit, the balance must be settled in cash or, with the Captain’s agreement, by wire transfer.

OR, choose this option instead of APA:

• Port fees/APA

Is an estimate of €5.000 paid with the balance for covering running costs during the charter: ports and marina fees (the check-in and check-out ports are also considered here), motorized water sports, national park entrances, custom fees, and charter licenses if chartered outside of Croatia, drinks which are not included in beverage packages, and anything else that guests might need while on charter during the week.

A strict set of accounts is held by the captain throughout the charter and any funds not spent are refunded to the client in full. If A.P.A does not cover complete costs, the customer will pay the exceeding amount on board in cash.

Delivery Fee:

If your charter begins away from the yacht's home port, an Owner may apply a delivery fee. This fee accounts for the fuel and, at times, the time invested in relocating the yacht to and from its home port to the start location of your charter. We strive to recommend yachts within your desired area to avoid these fees. In cases where they are unavoidable, we negotiate on your behalf to minimize these costs.

Bellezza typically departs from Split area in Croatia, occasionally accommodating departures from Dubrovnik if the preceding charter involved a one-way trip to Dubrovnik.

Crew Gratuity

Notably, tips are not included in the charter price. They are a voluntary gesture of appreciation for the service. Typically ranging from 10% to 20% of the charter price, tips are given at your discretion and paid to the captain at the charter's conclusion. The captain then evenly distributes these gratuities among the crew.

Licences and Restrictions

Personal Watercraft

In most countries, a license is required to operate personal watercraft (waverunner, jetski or other mechanically propelled watercraft) to comply with insurance and legal criteria. There may also be a minimum age requirement – rules vary between countries. It is your responsibility to ensure that any guests wishing to use the personal watercraft have an appropriate license.
