Charter Price Index
Updated 29 Oct 2026 · 21 published rates
The straight answer
These are published weekly base rates for crewed yachts, as advertised, before the expense deposit (APA), VAT where it applies, and the crew tip. They show the range you will meet; the exact price is always a quote for a specific yacht and week.
How we build the index
- What it is: a sample of 21 published asking rates for crewed yachts, from 2 public websites of charter companies and brokers, read between 28 Oct 2026 and 29 Oct 2026. Not every yacht, and not what people finally paid.
- How rates are picked: weekly rates shown on public yacht pages and rate sheets in our four regions, spread across yacht types and sizes; never from behind a login. Each rate links to where it was published.
- Season: the low and high weekly rates as published. Where a listing gives one rate, low and high are the same.
- Currency: as published (USD and EUR), never converted, so rows in different currencies are kept apart.
- Left out: APA (the expense deposit), VAT, crew tips, delivery fees and holiday premiums. The cost calculator adds them.
- Middle: the middle of each listing's range, then the middle across listings (the median).
- How often: new rates are added every week; a group with one or two rates is a small sample and is shown as such.
