BIG BALLOON is basically a 49ft torpedo with a living room. Built in 2023, she’s a fast, modern performance machine punching up to about 42 knots, which means less time commuting and more time actually doing the fun part.
This boat is for 4 guests who like things sharp, private and efficient. Two cabins, one focused crew, and a layout that works better like a boutique hotel suite than a floating dorm. Think: air-conditioned comfort, proper salon with TV and audio, and Wi‑Fi so the “urgent email” excuse still works.
Toy department: Seabob on board. You don’t just look at the water, you go full underwater torpedo yourself. Perfect for short, intense fun between high-speed hops.
Why charter BIG BALLOON? Because you want a newer, fast yacht that treats time like a limited resource: minimal transit, maximum play, in a compact, well-specified package that makes a lot of bigger boats look slow and indecisive.

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 BIG BALLOON, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€3,850 - €6,160), making the charter cost €19,250 to €21,560. 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.
