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 motor yacht like AQUA LIFE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($18,750 - $30,000), making the charter cost $93,750 to $105,000. 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.

Crew Information
Captain: Adrian Miller
CAPTAIN - ADRIAN MILLER
nationality - SOUTH AFRICAN, languages - English
I started yachting 15 years ago after working in the fishing industry for a period of time, but the calling of the ocean started when I was still learning to walk. My father was a commander in the South African Navy and in his days as a little boy could be found jumping from boat to boat, wreaking havoc in the navy yard with a small platoon of men and women chasing after me!
I have been very fortunate to have travelled to some incredible and remote places in my career with the likes of the Maldives, South East Asia and the Galapagos archipelago. I am a marine engineer by trade but a few years ago decided that I could do a better job of running a yacht, so I went off and got my Captain’s license. I have successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, South China Sea and Pacific Ocean multiple times. I have been awarded the charter captain of the year in 2019 whilst I was Captain onboard a large, beautiful, extreme watersports based charter catamaran called Cartouche. I also raced inflatable power boats and was world champion in 2008.
I am a diver, surfer and a kite surf instructor. In my spare time I enjoy reading and making up excuses to not go on early morning runs with Chanelle.
CHEF - CHANELLE HITCHCOCK
nationality SOUTH AFRICAN languages ENGLISH
As the person ultimately responsible for all yummy things onboard and for providing superior hospitality service to meet the owner’s and guests’ expectations, I also play the role of deckhand, entertainer and professional dolphin spotter.
Unlike my famous screenwriter’s namesake, the leading character will not be killed off in this story. I am a
culinary trained galley wizard being able to whip up anything from delicious eggs Benedict to delectable desserts with everything in between!
I grew up on a wine farm in South Africa and I’m one of three girls, being the Tom boy of the family, I
never shied away from hard, honest and dirty work helping my father. My family come from a farming background, mostly sheep farmers. I have the eyes of a hawk when it comes to detail and pride myself on time management and attentiveness. I am forever learning and pushing myself and have a never say never attitude. My hobbies are sheep wrestling, discovering new recipes and dishes and my latest vice is dragging Adi on torturous early morning runs. I’m a fitness addict!!
MATE - GIDEON LAUBSCHER
nationality SOUTH AFRICAN languages ENGLISH, AFRIKAANS
From as far back as I can remember, my heart has always belonged to the ocean. Growing up around boats and spending countless weekends fishing instilled in me a deep love for maritime life. For the past five years, I’ve poured my soul into racing offshore thundercats—a pursuit that ignites my spirit like no other. When I’m not tearing through waves on my race boat, you’ll find me casting lines on a fishing vessel, soaking in every moment of the sea’s embrace.
Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to work on yachts, diving headfirst into the world I’ve always dreamed of. Those months were transformative, shaping me and deepening my understanding of yacht operations. The experience I gained was priceless, fueling my determination to pursue a career where the sea is my office and the horizon my playground. With each adventure, I’m one step closer to living out my maritime dreams.
STEWARDESS - KLARESE NEL
nationality SOUTH AFRICAN languages ENGLISH, AFRIKAANS
After honing my skills by building a successfull 10 year carreer in the film and TV industry as a costume, hair and makeup Designer, stylist, barber and masseuse, i felt that it was the perfect complimentary to take to sea, as yachting allows to create real-life ,surreal experiences for guests, much like creating worlds for audiences on-Screen.
As a yacht stewardess, Klarese brings her extensive hospitality experience and her genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences for guests. With her attention to detail and warm, welcoming demeanor, she ensures that every aspect of their journey is nothing short of perfection.

“Yoann Boats,” “Cool Hand Luke” & “Laura Layover” Best Crew Ever!!
Thank you to the most incredible crew. You all made our vacation magical.
Jokes: Laura is the best at getting out stains, Lucas has a great hand, but we are taking Mario to New York, Yoann’s nickname is Boats & Hoes."
Thank you for the best dive trip ever. Awesome service and crew!
We had the time of our life on Aqua Life! The crew made it perfect and the boat was amazing!
Thank you for a truly great week!"
I am thrilled to say I have just wired a 22% tip for crew to the Aqua Life account!
The clients were absolutely thrilled with the yacht and the crew. They “had an amazing time” “could not have imagined or expected better” “the crew worked really well with the crew on Squalo and they all made it such a fabulous holiday and 60th celebration”.
I saw the coordination and teamwork that went into this on the WhatsApp group and you all did an amazing job. Captain Peter thank you for the tender transport back and forth and for all of the extra effort. You really went above and beyond, I truly appreciate it. As previous crew, I know what it takes and there would have been many captains that would have told me no. From start to finish you were the complete professional and always said we can make it happen. Thank you."
to the exceptional adventures - each day was perfect (Beware of the honks from Adi, un likes to scare people for fun).
We couldn't have asked for a better vacation and look forward to looking back and reminiscing about our amazing time thank you!
