Price Terms

Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see

Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).

All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.

The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).

For a yacht like GEM 64, the expected APA is not defined for this type of yacht. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.

You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).

The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Price Details

Price from: USD27,500

High season rate: USD27,500

Chef Available upon Request for overnight charters.
Usually $400 a day for overnight trips and often the Captain would need a chef 1 day prior to trip for provisioning.
So 8 days @$400 equals $3,200 extra for a chef.

Day Charters Available - Customizable day/evening packages, please inquire for availability.
6 hours: $3,000 plus expenses for up to 6 passengers
8 hours: $3,500 plus expenses for up to 6 passengers
The East Ferry Deli, across the street from where Gem is based in Jamestown, is always very popular for guests to order lunches to take on board

Note from Capt. Gordon about free parking in Jamestown:
Just for future knowledge for clients: If we pick up and drop off from our berth in Jamestown the clients have free parking for 2+ weeks at Conanicut marina’s offsite yard. They also provide a driver to bring us back and forth to the cars so no taxi’s or Ubers required. I usually offer to drive the client's cars to the lot and have the marina staff take me back to boat so guests can relax onboard while I move cars.

Delivery cost from Jamestown to Sag would be an extra days work as I would need 3hrs underway to Sag then rest of day would be wash down and detailing before guests would arrive. So that would be $400 extra for delivery to Sag and potentially dockage cost. Jamestown to Sag would take about 300g of fuel round trip so would have to add that to total fuel bill. Current diesel fuel price is $4.85/g so would equal $1,455 in fuel just for delivery. (27 May 2024)

Crew Information

Captain: Gordon F. Henderson

Captain Gordon Henderson's journey in the maritime world started in Newport, RI, where he fell in love with sailing as a kid. His parents, both avid sailors, influenced his lifelong passion for the sea. As a child, Gordon was an enthusiastic surfer, skateboarder, and snowboarder, while also excelling in competitive sports. He captained his high school varsity soccer team during his junior and senior years and achieved a ranking of third in the state for freestyle swimming. His summers were spent at the Ida Lewis Yacht Club, where he honed his sailing skills, further cementing his love for boating.

Gordon's professional journey into yachting began in earnest during his college years, working as a mate on yachts each summer. After earning a BS in Business Management from Plymouth State University, he committed to a full-time yachting career at age 22. By 25, Gordon had obtained his 100-ton USCG Captain's License and was captaining sailing yachts. His certifications, including a 200-ton RYA Yachtmaster, MCA Approved Engine Course (A.E.C.), First Aid CPR, and PADI Open Water Diver, perfectly reflect his motto, “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn”. Over the past 21 years, he's sailed far and wide, gaining tons of experience along the way. From steering both motor and sailing yachts to leading trips across the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, Gordon's done it all. He's racked up over 140,000 miles at sea, becoming a pro at navigating through any conditions.

Whether he's captaining motor or sailing yachts, Gordon's known for keeping things ship-shape and safe. Gordon prefers an interactive charter style, enjoying guest engagement, excursions, and watersports, while also understanding the need for tranquility. His favorite destinations include the Galapagos for its unique wildlife, New Zealand for its diverse landscapes and welcoming people, and the British Virgin Islands for their vibrant atmosphere. His extensive experience, combined with his passion for yachting and positivity, ensures that he creates unforgettable charter experiences for his guests.
