Charter fee

Most of the yachts managed or selected by Neo Yachting are priced according to the Western Mediterranean terms (also called MYBA terms).

Under the MYBA terms, the Charter Fee includes the charter of the yacht with all its equipment in working order; tools; stores; cleaning materials and basic consumable stores for engine room, deck, galley and cabins; laundry of ship's linen; the crew's wages, uniform and food; the insurance of the yacht for marine risk and third party claims and the insurance of the crew for employer's liability insurance.

The Charterer will be charged extra and at cost for all other expenses. These include fuel for the main engines and generators; fuel for the ski-boats and other tenders; food for the Charterers; wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks for the Charterers; other consumable stores; berthing dues and other harbour charges including pilot's fees, local taxes, divers' fees and charges for water and electricity taken from shore; personal laundry; communications (telephone, fax and e-mail via Satcom, cellular phone or landline); and hire or purchase costs of any special equipment placed on board at the Charterer's request.

VAT

The E.U. legislator has recently increased the pressure on yacht owners to collect Value Added Tax (IVA, TVA, VAT, etc. ) on their charters at rates which vary between 5% and 20% of the Charter Fee. Under UE Law the VAT is payable by the Charterer.

There are still some exemptions and our charter specialists will be able to guide you.

Type of charter agreement

The most widely accepted Charter Agreement is the one published by the MYBA association, 2009 version. If you wish to read the terms of this agreement prior to booking a charter with us, please contact one of our charter specialist by clicking here.

Payment terms

The standard payment terms are:
- 50% of the charter fee at the signature of the charter agreement
- 50% of the charter fee, plus the APA*, plus any delivery/re-delivery fees if applicable 30 days prior to the start date of the charter period.

*APA stands for Advanced Provisioning Allowance and is usually 30% of the charter fee.

Please note that in certain exceptional cases such as static or event charters, the owner of the yacht might claim for a Security Deposit, refundable at the end of the charter if no damages by the charterer are noted.

In general, no option is accepted by yacht owners, but should you be interested in holding a yacht for a short period of time, please contact us for the terms.
