INDY: your questions, answered

The most common questions we receive about chartering INDY. For anything specific to your dates, guest list or itinerary, message us directly.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like INDY costs to own — not just to charter

The published weekly rate for INDY is the base charter fee, not an all-in total. APA, taxes, repositioning and itinerary-specific services are confirmed separately. Ownership of a 26m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
