The payment schedule.
50% on contract. 50% one month before departure. APA at the same time. Crew gratuity at the end.
The base rate
50% on contract signing, wired to the broker's client-account within 48–72 hours of MYBA contract execution. 50% one month before departure, same destination. Both payments to the broker's segregated client account — never to the broker's operating account.
APA
Wired with the second base-rate payment, one month out. Same destination account. The captain draws from it during the trip.
Taxes
Where applicable (Italian VAT 22%, French VAT 10%, Croatian VAT 13%, Greek VAT 12%), invoiced separately and paid with the second base payment.
Crew gratuity
In cash, on the last morning. 10–15% of the base rate.
Currency
The contract specifies the currency. Most Mediterranean charters are in EUR; Caribbean in USD. Wire fees and FX are your responsibility.
