No Hidden Fees
The price you see is the price you pay. All charters include fuel, crew, docking, and standard operating costs—there are no surprise charges.

Gratuity is not part of the package price. While not required, a 10–15% tip is customary for excellent service. Please see the Gratuity section below for more details.

Fixed Pricing Per Charter
All YachtiFi packages are priced per charter, not per person.

Per-person pricing is displayed for reference only and is based on a full group. The total package price remains the same regardless of how many guests join (up to the maximum allowed).

Example:
Tie Up Party – Standard package is $2,999 and allows up to 12 guests.
Whether you bring 2 or 12 guests, the full charter price is $2,999.
For a full group of 12, that breaks down to about $249 per person.
