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 El Marita, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€1,900 - €3,325), making the charter cost €11,400 to €12,825. 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 Information
Captain: Apostolis Papadopoulos
Apostolis - Captain
Apostolis was born in Patras in 1981.He graduated as a primary school teacher from the Educational Department of Patras University in 2003. Apostolis has always been interested in the sea and from a very young age decided that he would also like to turn his hobby into his summer work.
At the age of 17 he started working as a deck hand on crewed motor yachts during the summer period and travelled around the Greek islands many times. He acquired a large amount of knowledge which later on he put into practice when he himself became Skipper on motor yachts and sailing boats. He is a holder of offshore sailing license , speedboat license issued by the Greek coastguard and also is a licensed sailing instructor issued by the Greek Ministry of Athletics.
Apostolis’s passion has always been sailing and this is what he returned to when he graduated from University. He has been skippering on sailing yachts and large Catamarans in the Ionian for the last 20 years and knows the area like the back of his hand. He is also well known for his kind nature and has many clients who visit the Ionian every year just to have him as their skipper.
Apostolis is characterized by his professionalism and sea awareness – assets he acquired while working on crewed VIP motor yachts. He is a holder of offshore sailing license , speedboat license issued by the Greek coastguard and also is a licensed sailing instructor issued by the Greek Ministry of Athletics.
When Apostolis isn’t skippering he is either taking part in sailing races, fishing or else tending to his olives and vines in his village.
Apostolis is a proud father of a daughter. He speaks English and Greek and gets on great with children as they love him.

Reviews
Dear Elena , Apostolis and Paris ,
We wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you... but we're still too relaxed from the trip! Your catamaran was the perfect escape and now we;ve mastered the art of of doing absolutely nothing (except enjoying the sun and sea of course) . If you ever need expert sunbathers or coctail testers on board , you know who to call!!!
Until our next adventure on the high seas , we wish you smooth sailing and endless sunsets!
We thank you for introducing us to the beautiful Ionian islands and for answering all our questions.
Fear not:our is not a farewell but only a goodbye
We'll be back to admire the sunsets on the west coast!
We had a wondeful week! You took us to beautiful waters and places , the trip was always relaxing due to your willingless and to Julie's lovely cooking that kept us intrigued from the one day to the next.
Thank you for your lovely company !
See you again !

After all the winter months spent waiting for the sun and the sea of Greece, the dream finally come true in the best possible way. Thank you Apostolis for being the most professional, kind and patient captain ever!!!!
Cecilia and the Italian Band
From England and Canada, pale skinned, with glee.
The adventure, they knew not what to expect,
The captain, named Paris, the architect.
Each day, he scouted which bays to explore,
His guests saw many islands and swam to each shore.
At night, he'd tell us stories of his upbringing in Greece,
The families learned about his culture as they sailed on the sea.
Paris was challenged by the racing demons on board,
He won the battle while Innes roared.
The catamaran was perfect, there was so much space,
Showers, ac, a large kitchen, and music filling the space.
A new sport was created, SUP surfing began,
Innes, Freya, Jason and Chris pulled by tender, Paris had no plan.
They sll stood up. The ride mostly smooth,
But then Paris discovered doughnuts, he had something to prove.
He had his crew swim out to the rocks,
To anchor with ropes, or use knots on the docks.
One they were thirsty, Ela's bar was recommended,
Great music was heard, the evening was splendid.
Souvlaki and Pita, we picked our own fish,
Calamari and ice cream, it was delish.
The cats came up and begged for food,
Deidre fed them dinner, because she isn't rude.
Eileen kept everything om schedule and made the grocery list,
While Chris crushed beer cans with both of his fists.
The sound of the islands, the bleats of goats,
The cicada chirps, the flapping sails of boats.
Jade, Cloe and Freya read books and tanned,
They shopped for food, cooked, and cleaned, while Innes found the book.
This adventure won't be forgotten and it won't be our last trip,
However sailing without Paris will be tough, as he will be missed!
Thank you for a fabulous trip!
Eleen
Thank you El Yachting and Paris!

I hope you are well today and Happy Wednesday(by the time you read this)
I just wanted to say that my client´s had a FANTASTIC time on El Marita.
They said that the crew and the yacht were absolutely amazing and that it was one of the best vacations of their lives.
Thank you all so much for being part of this and making it happen.
I will be definitely using your company for any other Greece yacht vacation inquiries that I have with my client and it has been a pleasure working with you.
Thank you
John
How are you?
I have been meaning to email you but we've not been back long as we stayed some extra days in Kefalonia and then back to school for Teddy!
We had an absolutely wonderful time and would like to thank you and all at El Yachting and especially Tolis for being an amazing skipper as always! We are putting some thought into what holidays we want next year so I will definitely be in touch!
Many thanks again and see you in 2023 hopefully!
Thanks
Angela x
We back in cold Cape Town and the memories of our wonderful week on the Catamaran with Tolis are almost long forgotten.
We are looking into repeating the trip again next year either on 17 or 24 June. Please could you tell us what availability you have. We would ideally like the same boat and the same crew…. Not sure if possible?
Look forward to hearing about prices and availability.
Kindest
