What's included in a $14,999/week catamaran charter? ▾
At the Value tier (Under $15,000 / week), the base charter typically includes the yacht, insurance, dinghy, and bedding. Excluded: APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance, ~25-35% of base for crewed), fuel (~$30-60/day), transfers, gratuity (10-15% for crewed), mooring fees, and provisioning.
Which catamarans fit the Value budget tier? ▾
Within Under $15,000 / week, 6 production cats are solid picks: Excess 11, Lucia 40, Lagoon 40, Leopard 40, etc.
How do I get more for less when chartering on a Value budget? ▾
Three proven tricks: (1) shoulder weeks like Nov/May drop 25-35% off peak; (2) booking 90+ days ahead gives access to early-bird pricing; (3) last-minute deals exist in low season but trade off boat selection.
Should I choose bareboat or crewed at this tier? ▾
At under $15K/week, virtually all options are bareboat. If you want crewed, you'll need sailing experience AND cook/chef comes on at extra cost.
Is this tier right for me? ▾
This is the budget tier — small cabin counts (3-4), mostly Caribbean or off-season routes, bareboat-friendly. Suitable for first-time or budget-conscious charterers; not ideal for groups > 8 or luxury expectations.

Note: charter pricing excludes APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance, typically 25-35% of base) for crewed charters, plus fuel, transfers, and gratuity.
