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.

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!
