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 APOLLO 99, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€17,000 - €29,750), making the charter cost €102,000 to €114,750. 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.

dedicated, and super kind-hearted crew who made our trip so special.
Captain Fabiano is a highly skilled sailor, manoeuvering us wherever the most secluded and breathtaking spots were.
Georgia and Alexa made sure that we were well taken care of around the clock, meaning we felt truly at home.
Ben managed to keep our dresses from getting wet on the tender rides miraculously — a feat which with the Greek winds was far from easy.
We’ll never forget Anima’s delicious brownies, or the tastiest meals we’ve been served on the daily!
All in all, the crew’s knowledgeability, professionalism, and calm can be summed up in one event: when they saved us from a terrible storm, which pelted us with thunder, lightning, wind, and rain.
We felt fully safe in their capable hands, and that is the highest measure of a crew at sea.
Unforgettable week — Apollo 99 is our summer’s highlight!
Lots of love,
