Threading the needle with a superyacht


I enjoyed this whole video, where they are taking a very expensive yacht through a very tight bridge opening. All the planning and crew positions and radio calls to make it successful. They had at least 2 drones and 3 wide-angle cameras on the yacht to give you every angle of this stressful passage. 

I looked up that vessel in the video, and you can rent it for a mere €560,000 a week, "plus expenses." I'm wondering what expenses wouldn't be included in that price! *

*I had to look it up. "Expect to pay 25-to-35-percent of the charter fee with your final payment to cover all additional costs. Industry talk for this payment is an APA — Advanced Provisioning Allowance... running expenses like food, dockage, and fuel."

And then, of course, there's the expected 20% tip.
