She gets a refit every year to keep her in top condition, and she is.
Our broker, John Boullin, had lunch onboard earlier, and all was praise.
HAKUNA MATATA is a fantastic family yacht, and she is not afraid of embracing it: The Lion King theme is carried through in a really fun way: each cabin is named after a different character. The two twins are set up for kids: one with a super creative jungle theme and the other with cute stuffed toys.
Great cruising speed of 25 knots. If you want to take your family on an adventure of a lifetime, fast island hopping through the Saronic or Cyclades, this is an exceptional option.

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 HAKUNA MATATA, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€26,250 - €42,000), making the charter cost €131,250 to €147,000. 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.
