Provisioning

Provisioning for Crew-Only Charters

If you choose a crewed, all-inclusive charter, you do not have to worry about provisioning. We will take care of it for you. Otherwise, if you choose an all-costs-extra "crew-only" charter, you are responsible for buying food, beverages and supplies for your party and the crew.

Your charter boat includes utensils, knifes, cooking pots and pans, a blender, dishware and dishcloths. There is a three-burner propane range with a small oven, and a gas BBQ. Our refrigerator/freezer will keep food cold or frozen but space is restricted. You should plan some additional provisioning every 3-4 days. The following items are normally on-board to simplify your provisioning. Check with us if you need clarifications.

Galley basic staples, olive oil, wine vinegar, herbs, spices and condiments
Paper napkins, paper towels, dishwashing liquid.

We recommend that you prepare a menu and a grocery list to expedite your shopping. However, expect that some items may not be available so you will need to be flexible. We can suggest places where you can shop. The provisioning should take half a day and you may have to visit more than one store. The food and beverage cost for two couples and the crew may vary from $800 (US) to $1200 per week depending on your tastes.
