Price Terms

Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see

Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).

All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.

The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).

For a sailing catamaran like VALIUM 55, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€4,400 - €7,700), making the charter cost €26,400 to €29,700. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.

You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).

The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

"The most important thing a captain can do is to see the ship through the eyes of the crew"
Captain Michael

From the moment you all met us on the dock you greeted us with warmth,service and safety which provided a sense of trust and comfort that never diminished the entire voyage. You suggested and guided us along, never making a mistep.Every island, town , cove, bar , restaurant, meal and drink you recommended was perfect in every way.

As a crew, you were the perfect balance and compliment to one another, meticulous and loose, decisive and empowering , professional and thoughfully personal. Thank you for providing myself and all of us the greatest vacation, for more than we could have ever imagined.

The saying " If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together", embodies the experience we have had this week, not just as "crew" and "passengers", but you Andreas, Raphael and Dimitris as much a part of our group as the friends we showed up with.We are forever grateful and will always be remembered!
Thank you from myself,Mike and all of us!
