- Chinese New Year, yacht and villa
- +15–25%
- July–August, yacht and villa
- +10–20%
- January–February shoulder

For procurement
Fixed, variable, and a reserve.
Fixed costs follow duration, not party size: trip director, villa night, helicopter hour. Variable costs follow headcount: chef services, provisioning, fast-track, gratuities.
Reserve 8–12% of trip value for weather re-routes, menu upgrades and extensions. We invoice in US dollars; other currencies are locked at invoice issue, the FX risk on our side.
