Incredible yacht, adrenaline sailing, very high-end Scandinavian meets Japanese interior design. White, minimalism, elegant and clean lines.
Much-loved Captain Evangelos, the crew has stayed with him for a long time.
And the crew is wonderful. The Deck hand Ramen is from Belfast and he also plays Irish music - he is just fantastic. “We are in the business of creating memories,” he says and explains how they do live music nights, candlelight dinners with stargazing on the flybridge, and titanic moments on the bow when the dolphins come to ride the bow wake - it happens often, he assures.
Great yacht for a sophisticated client
Is not restrained by weather as motor yachts
Can leave port comfortably with 25 knots, 30+ with sails if guests comfortable = almost guaranteed to reach desired itinerary in Cyclades
Cuts through waves like a knife at 12 knots
Interior is minimalistic futurism, accentuated by central minimalistic decoration with multisuensual overlay- smell, sound
Definitely gets attention arriving to port

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 BARACUDA VALLETTA, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€27,750 - €55,500), making the charter cost €212,750 to €240,500. 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.
