I visited Astoria at the Poros yacht show and the standout for me was easily the chef, Nikola Statev. He’s got serious experience—fine dining background in Bulgaria and Germany, river cruises, and now fully in his element onboard. Big passion for seafood and fresh local ingredients, and he’s the kind of chef who actually loves tailoring menus—whether that means vegan, keto, or food allergy adjustments.
The yacht itself has a crisp, clean feel with a cohesive design—red theme, sailing-themed art, and very put-together. The crew prefers the Saronic Gulf and enjoy taking guests to more low-key, local spots away from the crowds. Smooth 8-knot cruising, super comfortable.

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 ASTORIA, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€4,980 - €8,715), making the charter cost €29,880 to €33,615. 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.
