Final cleaning fee

A fee charged by the charter operator at the end of a yacht rental to cover professional cleaning and restoration of the vessel to charter-ready condition. Customers encounter this charge when settling the final invoice after returning the yacht. The fee typically covers deep cleaning, laundry, refueling, and restocking of consumables. It is usually quoted upfront in the charter contract and may be reduced or waived if the guest performs a basic clean-up beforehand. The amount varies by yacht size and operator policy.
