Does a Mallorca charter price include food, drinks and fuel?

On crewed yachts in the Med, no. The weekly rate covers the yacht and its professional crew. Food, drinks, fuel, and marina fees are paid from the APA, an onboard budget of roughly 25 to 35% of the charter fee that you pay before the trip. Whatever the crew does not spend comes back to you afterwards.

This is worth understanding when comparing quotes: two yachts at the same headline rate can have very different real weekly costs once fuel appetite and route ambitions are counted. We quote the all-in number, not just the base rate, precisely for that reason.

Spanish VAT at 21% and crew gratuity, commonly 10 to 15% when the service has been strong, are separate again. Full worked examples: How Much Does a Mallorca Yacht Charter Cost?
