This fee covers the services and facilities as specified in detail in the Club Regulations.

It also includes crew costs, port taxes, fuel, dockage, charter permits or mooring fees, as well as entrance to national parks.

This charge per person will be adjusted annually to reflect the increases in costs of food, drink, labour, port charges and generally the cost of providing facilities on board.
