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 BABALU 51, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€3,400 - €5,950), making the charter cost €20,400 to €22,950. 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.

Crew
Captain: Stelios Chatziemmanouil
Lefteris runs BABALU like a man who has chosen sea over land, stacking serious qualifications with real miles so your island-hopping feels tight, safe, and wide open at the same time. He hunts out the clean anchorages and the quiet routes, then holds the boat steady while you push the day as hard as you want.

- MCA/RYA Yachtmaster Ocean for power and sailing vessels
- PADI Divemaster and certified for Captain’s Medical Care
- Background as windsurf instructor and skipper on sailing yachts, catamarans, and motor yachts in Greece
Christos treats BABALU’s galley like a precision kitchen, dropping plates that feel sharp, modern, and exact while still landing honest Greek comfort after a hard swim or a long run under sail. He builds menus like a route plan—balanced, seasonal, and tuned to how you actually live on board, not how a brochure looks.

- Extensive pastry background at Kiku Kolonaki, Freud Oriental Athens, and Giacomo Restaurant Kifisia
- Specialized culinary and pastry training at Le Monde, Athens (including traditional island sweets, pizza, and barista skills)
Sofia keeps the inside of BABALU running quiet and precise, reading the mood fast and shifting from low‑profile service to switched‑on energy so the boat feels easy, calm, and tuned to you, not scripted. She builds that soft background order that lets you forget the logistics and stay locked on the trip.

Reviews
Thank you to all crew,
we had the best and most relaxing week on the Babalu. We loved seeing beautiful, secluded beaches across the Cyclades. It was a week of smooth sailing. We ate like Queens and Kings and loved all of Cooks creative Greek meals – our favorite was brownies and pastitsio! Hostess always took great care of us with coffee, drinks and pillows We appreciated you checking in on us so frequently and watching out for us on the paddleboards. This was a magical week for our family, and we are so grateful for the experience! Hope to return next year!
