How much does it cost to charter ‘Below Deck’ charter yacht?
Boats from the ‘Below Deck’ franchise are about 150 to 160 feet long and feature multiple decks and luxury guest quarters. The service staff does turn-down service, unpacks suitcases, and waits on guests for any food or drink requests that they may have. The crew also sets up water toys such as slides, jet skis, rides to shore on the tender etc. Guests can also request off-boat excursions that the team plans and executes. Now for the price, the boats on the shows are worth around $15 to $20 million, and weekly rentals can cost a whopping $300,000! The least expensive yacht on the list is Ohana (actually named Rhino) from ‘Below Deck’ Season 2. It can carry up to 10 guests, and the rental starts at $140,000. But remember, these costs exclude the tip charges.
If you think renting a ‘Below Deck’ boat is way too expensive, fret not because there is a slightly cheaper way. If you can be a guest on any of the ‘Below Deck’ shows, you can avail a discount offered by the production team. Producer and creator Mark Cronin confirmed that guests get a 50 percent discount on the three-day charters, and their airfare is covered by production. However, the guests are expected to cover the tips themselves. Tip charges are supposed to be 15 to 20 percent of the actual total cost of the charter.
Catch ‘Below Deck: Adventure’ Season 1 premiere on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at 9 pm ET/PT on Bravo TV and Peacock.
