Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a power catamaran like Bru Sea, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price ($8,294 - $14,515), making the charter cost $49,766 to $55,987. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

| 3 day charter | 20,736USD to 20,736USD | 4,147USD to 6,221USD | 24,883USD to 26,957USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 41,472USD / 6 * 3 days = 20,736USD |

Private Multi-Day Charters
Bru Sea’s multi-day charters are offered as a fully private overnight yachting experience in The Bahamas. Guests enjoy the comfort of sleeping aboard while cruising the beautiful waters around Nassau, Paradise Island, and the Exumas.
This experience is ideal for guests who would like more than a day charter, with time to relax onboard, enjoy chef-prepared meals, explore secluded anchorages, and experience the yacht at a more leisurely pace.
Multi-Day Charter Rates
Minimum 3 nights
Rates below are based on up to 6 guests in 3 ensuite guest cabins.
- 4 days / 3 nights — $17,500
- 5 days / 4 nights — $23,500
- 6 days / 5 nights — $29,500
- 7 days / 6 nights — $34,500
- 8 days / 7 nights — $36,500
The 8-day / 7-night charter rate reflects Bru Sea’s preferred weekly charter rate.
The charter rate includes:
- Private use of the yacht
- Captain
- Private chef
- Onboard accommodations for up to 6 guests in 3 ensuite cabins
- Customized itinerary planning based on the guests’ preferred pace, interests, and cruising area
- Provisioning coordination and advance shopping arrangements
Additional Costs
The following items are additional to the base charter rate:
- Bahamas taxes: 14% of the base charter fee
- APA: 25% to 35% of the base charter fee, depending on guest count, itinerary, and charter style
- Crew gratuity: Customarily 15% to 20% of the base charter fee
- Premium or guest-specific requests beyond the yacht’s standard charter arrangement
- Relocation or repositioning costs, where applicable
APA Explanation
The APA, or Advance Provisioning Allowance, is collected in addition to the charter fee and is used to cover the variable operating expenses of the trip.
The APA generally covers:
- Food and meal provisioning
- Alcohol, soft drinks, and other beverages
- Fuel
- Dockage and marina fees, if applicable
- Shore power, when applicable
- Ice and other onboard consumables
- Guest-requested incidental purchases and special requests
Any unused APA funds are refunded at the conclusion of the charter. If actual expenses exceed the APA collected, the difference is invoiced separately.
Anchoring, Marina Stays & Relocation
Multi-day itineraries are generally planned around overnight anchoring, weather and sea conditions permitting. Marina stays are not ordinarily included unless specifically requested in advance.
If guests would like to incorporate marina stops into the itinerary, this can certainly be reviewed during the planning process. Please note that dockage, marina fees, shore power, and related port expenses are charged against the APA.
Relocation or repositioning requests are additional and may only be considered for charters exceeding five days, subject to operational feasibility, prevailing marine conditions, and the yacht’s existing schedule.
Because marine conditions and operational requirements can vary, anchoring is often the most natural, comfortable, and efficient arrangement for multi-night charters unless guests specifically request otherwise.
Crew Gratuity
Crew gratuity is additional and is customarily 15% to 20% of the base charter fee. While gratuity remains at the guests’ discretion, it is customary in the yachting industry and is typically offered to the crew at the conclusion of the charter based on the level of service received.
