Start with the headline hack: ALAYA is a 108ft Lürssen classic (1965) that’s just been heavily refit (latest works 2023–2025) and then armed with a foredeck Jacuzzi the size of a small meeting room plus an open‑air cinema on the sundeck. If your idea of “charter” is hot tub, movie night and not fighting for a sunpad, this is the short list.
Why people actually book her: she sleeps **11 guests in 5 cabins** with a full‑beam master and genuinely adult‑sized doubles, so you’re not playing Tetris with who gets the “kid cabin”. Inside is classic hull, modern brain: Art Deco‑inspired interiors by George Merlos, big, bright main salon, separate dining room with onyx table, fast Wi‑Fi and Smart TVs everywhere.
Top-deck reality: forward you get the new **bow Jacuzzi lounge** with panoramic views, aft and upper decks split into shaded and sun‑soaked zones, and at night the sundeck flips into an **open‑air cinema** with serious sound. Stabilizers smooth things out underway, so drinks and kids both stay upright.
Water toys = floating amusement park: this isn’t “one paddleboard and a sad donut.” You’re looking at a Radinn electric jetboard, Liftfoil e‑surf, Fliteboard, Seabob, 2023 Sea‑Doo Spark Trixx jet ski, FunAir climbing wall, NautiBuoy swim platform with sunbeds, wakeboard, skis, kneeboard, tubes, banana, SUPs and snorkel gear. Translation: no one is bored unless they’re trying to be.
Service and sanity: a **7‑crew team** (including a chef with a real weekly menu and a yoga/meditation instructor available on request) runs this like a small hotel, not a hobby project. You get silent, low‑consumption cruising, proper air‑conditioning, serious music system, and a charter operation that’s dialed in for families, themed weeks and small events.

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 ALAYA, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€14,750 - €23,600), making the charter cost €73,750 to €82,600. 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.
