Yacht charter guide
MYBA Charter Agreement
A practical introduction to the standard charter agreement used across much of the professional yacht market.
A framework for the charter
The MYBA charter agreement is widely used for professionally managed yacht charters. It records the yacht, dates, cruising area, charter fee, payment schedule and the responsibilities of each party.
Read the particulars
Special conditions, cancellation terms, delivery place and agreed cruising area matter. Your broker should explain the commercial terms and recommend independent legal advice where appropriate.
Costs beyond the base fee
The agreement distinguishes the charter fee from operating expenses commonly funded through APA. Taxes, delivery and repositioning may also apply and must be confirmed for the specific charter.
This guide is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Terms, rates and availability are confirmed for each charter.
