“You Make the Memories, We’ll Make the Arrangements”
Ocean Vibes - one of the all-inclusive catamaran charters in the Caribbean

All-inclusive catamaran charters usually combine the private yacht, professional crew, meals, standard beverages, routine cruising fuel, and the yacht’s listed water toys in one published rate. However, “all-inclusive” does not mean every possible trip expense is covered. Premium alcohol, meals ashore, transfers, special activities, dockage, local fees, and crew gratuity may remain separate depending on the yacht and charter terms.

When comparing all-inclusive crewed catamarans across Caribbean destinations, examine the actual onboard package: crew services, meals, beverage selections, standard fuel, water toys, and any limitations. Two yachts with similar rates may offer very different inclusions. For a BVI-specific breakdown of excluded expenses, use our BVI all-inclusive catamaran cost comparison.

At CKIM Group, we specialize in custom all-inclusive yacht charters throughout the BVI and Caribbean, helping families, couples, and groups plan unforgettable private sailing vacations.

What All-Inclusive Catamaran Charters Usually Include

An all-inclusive BVI catamaran charter typically combines a private yacht, captain, chef, meals and standard beverages in a published weekly rate. “All-inclusive” has yacht-specific limits, so we check the charter terms before comparing options. Share your dates and guest count to receive a shortlist quoted with inclusions and exclusions.

What Is Usually Included Onboard?

Many fully crewed BVI sailing catamarans use inclusive terms. The written yacht proposal and charter agreement control the final package, so each item should be confirmed yacht by yacht.

Usually IncludedWhat to Verify
Private use of the yachtExact charter dates, embarkation/disembarkation times, and operating area.
Captain and chef / crewCrew size, crew roles, and whether the chef prepares every onboard meal.
Meals and snacks aboardMenu scope, dietary requests, specialty ingredients, and any premium provisioning limits.
Standard onboard beveragesBrands, wine/spirits limits, premium requests, and special beverage packages.
Routine cruising fuelFuel caps, longer passages, generator use, tender fuel, and power-cat fuel treatment.
Tender and listed water toysExact inventory, age limits, motorized toys, instruction, and equipment-specific fees.
Linens, towels, and ordinary cabin serviceFrequency of service and any laundry limitations.

  • Crew gratuity. Caribbean guidance is commonly 15-20% of the charter fee based on service received.
  • Premium wines, Champagne, top-shelf spirits, or unusually costly menu requests.
  • Meals, drinks, taxis, spa services, shopping, and activities ashore.
  • Airport, ferry, water-taxi, and private ground transfers.

Planning Budget by Group

Many crewed sailing catamarans are advertised in broad weekly bands of $25,000–$70,000+, while larger yachts can cost more. Your dates, guest count, holiday week, yacht and beverage or activity requests affect the actual quote. Budget separately for excluded expenses and a Caribbean crew gratuity, commonly 15–20% of the charter fee according to service received.

GroupPlanning Approach
Couple / small familyDo not overpay for unused cabins unless the larger yacht adds meaningful space, crew, or amenities.
6 guests / three couplesPrioritize three genuine guest cabins of comparable quality before comparing price.
8 guestsFour guest cabins are a common starting point; compare cabin equality, bathrooms, and crew quarters.
9-10 guestsExpect a narrower yacht pool. Confirm five guest cabins or a verified alternative layout before comparing price.

Compared to a luxury resort stay for a group, an all-inclusive charter delivers privacy, personalization, and space at a comparable or better value.

Who Benefits From an Inclusive Charter?

Families and first-time charter guests often value a chef, a clear meal plan and fewer provisioning tasks. Couples can choose around cabin equality and privacy. Groups wanting more control over their own meals may prefer a captain-only arrangement; guests seeking faster passages can compare BVI power catamaran charters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an all-inclusive catamaran charter cost?

Prices usually range from $20,000 to $50,000+ per week. The cost depends on the yacht size, number of guests, location, and time of year. Bigger or more luxurious yachts and those with extras like scuba diving can cost more, especially during holidays.

Is crew gratuity included?

It’s customary to tip the crew 15% to 20% of the total charter cost. For example, on a $20,000 charter, a tip of $3,000 to $4,000 is standard. Tips are usually given in cash at the end of the trip.

Does all-inclusive mean every expense is covered?

No. It usually covers the core onboard charter package, but premium beverages, shore expenses, transfers, special activities, some fees, and gratuity may remain separate.

Are meals included?

On many fully crewed inclusive catamarans, chef-prepared meals and snacks are included. Dining ashore and specialty provisions may be extra.

How many guests can an all-inclusive catamaran take?

The examples on this page range from six to eight guests. Larger yachts may carry more, but legal capacity and actual guest-cabin layout must be confirmed yacht by yacht.

How should I compare an inclusive yacht with an APA yacht?

Compare the expected total for the same dates, guest count, and itinerary. Include base rate, APA or operating costs, government charges, transfers, optional activities, and gratuity.

Do published rates guarantee availability?

No. A published rate is not a confirmed quote. Availability, current pricing, guest-count rate, and charter terms should be reconfirmed for your dates.
