Good evening. I am looking at 7 day charter with dream yacht charters. Part of the quote is $180p/p for a cash box. What is that? The tip for the skipper and cook? Thanks.

We tell our crew that everyone kicks in $200 cash at the start of the charter. This is for moorings, ice, trash, whatever boat expenses come up. At the end, whatever is left over is put towards fuel, maybe some pre flight beers.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

George, maybe you are right. If it is a group of friends all chartering a boat, maybe each person/couple throws in X amount. But if I’m just booking a cabin with other strangers maybe it doesn’t make sense.

If you are just booking a cabin it definitly does make sense that the charter company quotes it. It avoids any misunderstanding whe you get aboard as a stranger and immediately told to contribute to the boat kitty.

On the quote it just says cash box $180p/p. It does not explain what it is for. I have reached out to DYC for further explanation.

DYC confirmed with me that the cash box is used for mooring fees, docking fees and any cash incidentals.
