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 motor yacht like SOFIA D, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€7,000 - €11,200), making the charter cost €35,000 to €39,200. 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.

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip! We absolutely loved Greece! Our favorite parts were touring the caves, partying in Mykonos and of course all of the amazing Greek food! Everyone was so lovely, and I know that we will cherish these memories for a lifetime.

Thank you for making our first trip to Greece such a memorable experience! We appreciate all the work you put in and taking us to such beutiful places.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
The D. family
This trip is by far one of the best trips we've been on. It exceeding all of our expectations. Every island was so different and had so much to do. The Seabob was our favorite thing to use but loved all the toys.
Every meal was delicious and filling. Our favorite part of the trip was getting tendered to Milos and the cliff jumping. This crew knew exactly where to take us. Every destination was perfect and fully endulged us in the Greek culture.
And lastly, the crew 😊
these four individuals were some of the most kind and friendly people we have ever met. They were always ready and wanting to help. They even called a doctor for my friend whose foot was swollen. They even took us to see some Greek nightlife and we absolutely loved it!
I couldn't imagine a Greek experience without Sofia D and the crew.
Thank you!

(Capt. Vagelis, George, Sophia, Nikos, Julia)
There is no way to express our appreciation to the details, needs, and wishes we brought with us.
The ability of Nikos to always get the toys ready,
The amazing ability of George to cater to food intolerances and still create amazing meals,
the attentiveness of Julia + Sophia,
and finally, the ability to orchestrate it all by Capt. Vagelis—
It is impressive and more than we could have asked for.
Love from TX + TN
