Question 1

What counts as a superyacht?

Accepted Answer

Technical definition: a yacht over 24 metres (79 feet) length overall. Practical charter-market definition: yachts over 30m (100ft) with a full-time professional crew of 6+. The Nero Line superyacht offering centres on the Benetti Oasis 40 (40m / 131ft) with 8-9 crew, Benetti Classic 120 (36m / 120ft), and on-request access to CRN and Baglietto vessels. Superyachts include a dedicated yacht chef (Michelin-trained), chief stewardess, engineer, 2-3 deckhands, 2 stewardesses, and a captain.

Question 2

How much does a superyacht charter cost in Spain?

Accepted Answer

Superyacht weekly rates in the Western Mediterranean: 30-35m vessels from €140,000-€200,000/week. 36-40m vessels from €200,000-€300,000/week (Benetti Oasis 40 from €252,000/week). 45-60m vessels from €350,000-€750,000/week. 60m+ vessels €1M-€3M+/week. Weekly rates include the yacht, full crew, and insurance. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) of 30-40% of the charter fee is additional and covers fuel, food, beverages, port fees, and local taxes — unused APA is refunded at trip end.

Question 3

What's APA and why do superyacht charters charge it?

Accepted Answer

APA = Advance Provisioning Allowance. It's a separate 30-40% deposit (in addition to the charter fee) that funds all variable trip costs: fuel, food, drinks, port fees, gratuities if requested. The captain keeps receipts; unused APA is refunded at the end of the charter. Example: €252,000/week Benetti charter has a €75,600-100,800 APA on top. APA exists because variable costs differ hugely by itinerary (a Mallorca-stationary week versus a Mallorca-Sardinia-Sicily-Malta crossing).

Question 4

Do superyachts come with water toys and tenders?

Accepted Answer

Yes — included: tender (usually a 7-10m Williams Jet Tender), 2-4 jet skis, Seabobs, paddleboards, snorkel gear, fishing gear. Larger superyachts add inflatable waterslides from the upper deck, wakeboards, waterskis, scuba diving equipment (with qualified dive master available on request), sailing dinghies, and occasionally a small helicopter pad for transfers. The Benetti Oasis 40 specifically carries two Williams tenders, two jet skis, four Seabobs, and a full PADI dive kit.
