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 BLUE GRYPHON, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price ($14,000 - $24,500), making the charter cost $84,000 to $94,500. 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.

Guest One:
The Blue Gryphon was the most beautiful boat I have ever been on. We loved every detail from the comfort of the rooms to the amazing, attentive staff.
The crew did everything they could to make our trip a trip to remember! We actually never want to leave!! They might find us stowed away in one of the many beautiful bedrooms!
Guest Two:
We cannot thank the crew enough for such a wonderful trip!
The weather wasn't ideal at the start but they were stellar at adjusting to ensure our time wasn't wasted and we didn't miss any highlights.
We felt safe and assured with Captain John, well cared for by Alicia, fed the most delicious food by Sadie, and last but not least every detail down to the last snorkel handled by Spencer with an easy smile and no big deal attitude.
We truly appreciate everything!
"It was absolutely amazing. I mean, gosh. I don’t know where to start. Thank you for recommending this boat and all of your wonderful support. We were expecting great things and we got exceptional.
The crew are unbelievable. The four of them worked together seamlessly. We had quite the age range onboard and let me tell you, everyone was doing different things at different times and the crew were always one step ahead. The yacht is fabulous and of course they have everything onboard you would ever want and more but let me tell you…it was all about the crew. I’m trying to think about each amazing thing I can tell you but there are too many. The entire experience was a dream."
