Planning a yacht charter in Goa is an exciting task, but it’s also a challenge – especially when beginning to estimate cost. Yachts have a base price, which is the hourly rate to rent the boat. But in addition to base costs, what other expenses, like food/drink, local taxes, or fuel, are charterers required to pay?
The good news: It’s easy to grasp the basics of yacht charter pricing. And this can help you more accurately estimate the cost of your next once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
The cost of a yacht charter is dependent on a number of factors, including the type of yacht, the charter destination, local taxes, and the base cost.
Therefore, yacht charters have a wide range of base prices. That’s why charters in Goa can cost from INR 20,000 per hour INR 60000 per hour depending on the sailing yachts, catamarans or luxurious motor super yachts you choose.
Make sure the cost of the boat/yacht estimate includes the fuel, the delivery fee, the dockage fee, the crew’s salary, service fees and any applicable taxes. The cost of the Yacht or boat is fixed and does not vary with the number of people on board. The catering and beverages are variable costs and should be shown separately on a per person basis and should also include any service charges and taxes.

Yacht Charter Price Structure: “All-Inclusive” vs “Plus Expenses”
In the world of yachting, two types of crewed yacht charters are available to you – “All-Inclusive” and “Plus Expenses” charter experiences. What do these terms mean exactly? Here’s a quick look:
• All-Inclusive Yacht Charters – Some charters (mainly catamaran and Yachts charters in Goa) offer all-inclusive rates. That means rates are based on the number of guests, and they include all food and drink, water sports, and fuel costs. Dockage and taxes, though, are usually charged separately.
• Plus Expenses Charters – Rates yachts do not include running expenses, which must be paid separately. For these luxury charters in Goa, the base price is for the yacht only. Additional expenses, i.e. food, bar, decor, DJ, hostess and other expenses, are charged separately.
