Yacht charter inspiration

You can rely on our expertise.

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Burgess Crew Photographer and Videographer of the Year 2023.

Published 25 July 2023

The competition is now closed.

Burgess invites our talented superyacht crew to capture their view from the deck to win the title crew photographer or videographer of the year 2023, in association with dockwalk..

Pictured above: Commander - Mellisa Altenburger, Burgess Photographer of the Year 2022

Calling all yacht crew content creators! We invite you to showcase your creative talent by capturing the sights and experiences you encounter while sailing the world's oceans.

The theme for 2023 is VIEW FROM THE DECK. Our goal this year is to celebrate the beauty and wonder that can be witnessed from the deck of a yacht, while also highlighting the importance of sustainability and our collective responsibility to protect the marine world we all love.

THE COMPETITION

What is it that makes your time at sea unforgettable? The jaw-dropping landscapes, sky-stained sunsets, wildlife encounters, camaraderie with your fellow crew... You have a unique perspective, and we want to see it. 

Your imagery - moving or still - should capture the moment from your vantage point on deck, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the magic of the maritime world.

SUSTAINABILITY

Whatever your chosen VIEW FROM THE DECK, we want to highlight the impact of responsible and sustainable practices within the yachting industry. We encourage you to include elements that illustrate the beauty and fragility of the marine environment. You have a unique opportunity - no one else sees the oceans the way you do.

The photography and vidoegraphy winners will each be awarded a  DJI Mini 3 (DJI RC) drone. This compact, easy-to-use drone comes with a remote controller with screen, level 5 wind resistance, true vertical shooting, and extended battery life. It also folds up and packs away, weighing under 249g - ideal for travelling light.

Our photography winner will also be published on the cover of Dockwalk, and the videography winner will feature on the Dockwalk website, both with interviews about their entry.

Entries are welcomed from 13.00 BST on 25 July 2023 and the competition will close for entries at 13.00 BST on 18 September. Winners will be announced by the end of October 2023 via our Instagram page @burgessyachtscrew, on the Burgess website and all other Burgess and Dockwalk social media channels.

All entries will be judged by a panel from Blue iProd, Burgess, and Dockwalk.

The entry form, entry specifications and terms and conditions can be found at the end of this page. 

Good luck! We can't wait to see your VIEW FROM THE DECK...
