Why are prices shown without VAT and APA?

Because the tax and the spending are not fixed, and the charter fee is. VAT runs from 0 to 22 percent depending on whose waters you cruise, and APA depends on how far you go and what you eat and drink.

That is why every listing in the industry shows the fee alone.

Our quotes spell out the full picture: fee, APA percentage, the tax rate for your route, and what is and is not included. If a quote elsewhere shows one number, ask what sits behind it.
