Advertised by DMA Yachting, the breathtaking charter yacht HBC is a 280 ft motor yacht featuring a jetski. The primary distinction of HBC are her elegant profile and inviting socializing areas. HBC spends the summer season in Greece. She was completed by the well-known ship builder Abeking & Rasmussen in 2008. A comprehensive refit was completed in 2019. The well-planned yacht layout features 11 generous cabins and easily accommodates up to 12 guests.
HBC is classified as a superyacht. The key part of the yacht, generous aft deck, continues to the attractive and sleek main salon. The main saloon is a friendly space with comfortable seating and entertainment areas and offers a range of entertainment options. 11 spacious cabins are thoughtfully spread out for maximum privacy and comfort.

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 HBC, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€212,500 - €340,000), making the charter cost €1,062,500 to €1,190,000. 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.
