This is done on a case-by-case basis so please provide us with details of the pet(s) so we can assess and ensure the animals comfort in the spaces on the vessel where permitted. Is smoking allowed on vessels?
Smoking is NOT permitted inside of the yachts. The crew will generally allow responsible smoking on the designated outside areas of the yacht. For safety reasons, smoking in cabins and staterooms is prohibited on all yachts.
How much do I tip crew?
Crew gratuities are discretionary, although it is customary for a charterer who has enjoyed the kind and attentive service of an obliging crew to extend a gratuity. Crew gratuities are normally in the region of 8%-12% of the charter fee, but can be adjusted up or down according to your level of satisfaction. The best way to ensure that all crew members receive equal recognition is to entrust the distribution of gratuities to the captain as they are entrusted with proper distribution.

We require a 25% deposit to secure bookings and accept many forms of payment, including credit cards, which are processed through FareHarbor's secure payment portal.
Are food and beverages included?
Food and beverages are not included in the charter rates. You are welcome to bring your own, or we can arrange a provisions service or a private chef for you; see our Charter Guide for options. Additional Questions
