Yacht Charter Costa Brava — FAQ
Straight answers on crew, APA, pricing and booking before you commit to a day or week on the water.
Common questions
What does APA cover on a Costa Brava charter?
APA is the advance provisioning allowance that settles running costs as they're spent — fuel, marina fees and catering during the charter. It's collected before departure and reconciled against receipts at the end, or handled by separate agreement if you'd rather fix a flat figure in advance.
Who is on board to crew the yacht?
Every charter carries a skipper. On weekly charters we add a hostess or chef as needed, depending on guest numbers and whether you want meals prepared on board.
How much does a day charter from Palamós cost?
Day charters start from 900 €. The final rate depends on which yacht you take and the season, so we confirm an exact figure once we know your dates and group size.
What's the price range for a weekly crewed charter?
Weekly crewed charters run from 8,000 € to 40,000 €, plus APA for fuel, marina fees and catering. Where you land in that range depends on the yacht class and whether you're sailing in peak or shoulder season.
Which yacht will we actually sail on?
We source from sailing yachts, catamarans and motor yachts between 12 and 20 metres, and confirm the specific vessel at the time of booking based on your dates, group size and route. This lets us match availability across the fleet rather than lock you to one boat months out.
How do I get in touch to book?
All enquiries go through the contact form or by email — we don't publish a phone line or fixed hours. You'll hear back within 24 hours with availability and next steps.
Why we don't publish a fixed price list
A single published rate card would be misleading on this coast. Availability for a given yacht shifts week to week, and demand along the Costa Brava rises sharply through July and August, which moves both price and which vessels are free on your dates.
What we can give you upfront is the range: day charters from 900 €, weekly crewed charters from 8,000 € to 40,000 € plus APA. The firm number comes after a short exchange about your dates, guest count and preferred route — Medes Islands, Cap de Creus, Cadaqués, Begur, or a multi-day run toward Barcelona.
