Papa Joe is basically a floating deck party with sails. The standout is the sheer amount of usable outdoor space: huge teak decks, full‑beam aft sunpad, and a big shaded dining area that comfortably handles a full group for long, slow lunches. Forward, more sunpads and seating mean your entire charter doesn’t have to be a game of “who gets the good spot.”
Designed as a classic steel-hull motor‑sailer, Papa Joe runs on both wind and twin MAN engines, so you get the gulet look with the predictability of a motor yacht. Inside, a raised saloon with 360° swiveling TV and panoramic windows keeps everyone in the same social orbit when the sun gets too much.
For sleeping, it’s clean and simple: 5 double en‑suite cabins for 10 guests, including a full‑beam master with king bed and four queens. One guest cabin can link with the master as a family suite, which is code for “parents finally get a door and still keep the kids nearby.”
On the water, this yacht is set up to keep people busy: two tenders (including a 5.75m Northstar RIB), adult and kids’ water skis, wakeboard, towables, canoes, paddleboards, windsurfer, snorkelling gear for everyone, plus light fishing equipment. Translation: nobody gets bored, and nobody has an excuse to “just watch.”
Launched in 2007 with multiple refits (latest in 2024) and run by a 6‑person crew, Papa Joe is for groups who want lots of deck, real sailing DNA, and a solid toy locker—without needing a 60m yacht to get it.
Accommodation
1 Master Suite (with large sofa) plus 4 double guest cabins (Master cabin with king sized bed, 4 equal double guest cabins with queen sized bed each). Each guest cabin has a bathroom.Up to 12 guests can be hosted using the master's sofa.

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 sailboat like Papa Joe, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€4,200 - €8,400), making the charter cost €32,200 to €36,400. 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.
