SAMELI Yacht Description
Advertised by DMA Yachting, the breathtaking charter yacht SAMELI is a 75 ft sailing catamaran. The main attractions of SAMELI are her elegant profile and alfresco dining areas. SAMELI spends the summer and winter season in Greece. She was constructed by the ship builder Two Oceans in 2016. A succesful refit was finalized in 2023. The spacious yacht layout features 5 large cabins and easily accommodates a maximum of 10 guests.
SAMELI is introduced primarily as a sailing catamaran. The central space of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is generous, with a prominent dining and seating area and that's where most of the meals are served. The tastefully decorated cabins are located below the main saloon, connected by stairs (inquire about handicapped access). The cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant. Multiple portholes supply a sunny feeling, with the option for darkness and privacy.

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 SAMELI, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€9,800 - €17,150), making the charter cost €58,800 to €66,150. 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.

Reviews
Thank you for keeping us well fed ,super comfortable and safe!
Most of all thank you for the memories ,will stay with us forever!
Thank you, one and all, for a most rewarding chapter in life. To relax and deepen lifetime heart friendships, to add flavor to relationships that flourish, to build new friendships with those unknown, and to meet an amazing crew, this has been a beautiful, uncompromised, unexpected experience.
I feel a great connection with the genuine people, with the beautiful sea and its secret coves and caves, and with our sweet souls, hostess and protector! Deep soul healer, dancer, the finest hostess. Elite chef, skilled, achieved and badass!! And captain – my affirmation rounds for you are the best! Love you for life.
Time and distance do not dictate a friendship. There are elements of a soulship between your energy and the moment of contact, a deep knowing between people that there exist laughter, a moment, a story, a step in time that can make your soul stay.
True friendship knows no boundaries, no conditions. It will live on through time and distance. When you part from a friend, grieve not – for that which you love most in them may be clearer in their absence.
Thanks for showing me old friendships and becoming new friends!
P.S. What does it have in its pocketses, precious?
We cannot thank you enough. Each of you has given us fun, laughter, camaraderie, and lifelong memories. We felt at ease immediately under the leadership of the captain, director, and wonderful heads at work.
Several [crew] were attentive to our needs and very thoughtful. You made us feel safe in each [moment] and truly knew the sea. It’s been a pleasure getting to know each of you and your experience is unmatched. We’ll miss you!
We’ll always recall the companionship and team bond.
Thank you for giving us a magical voyage through a tiny slice of paradise. See you next time in Greece!
Sincerely,
I don’t have enough words to convey the deep appreciation I feel about the week at sea. It’s been a pleasure to know each of you and the family.
Thank you for your genuine hearts, your smiles, and your devotion. You’ve served with kindness, care, and warmth. Thank you for the delicious meals, for accommodating all of our desires, for always making sure we were comfortable, and for making it all look easy!
Special thanks to [crew member] for the food & sweet smiles. Also thank you for answering all of my questions. It has been amazing!
Thank you all again for all the care, smiles, and everything in between. Your excellence made our day! Thank you!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this a special place – we felt peace, we felt joy. That is success.
With warm wishes,
As we approach the final hours of our time on [Yacht Name], we want to express our deepest thanks to the entire team.
From the very first “welcome,” even before we set foot on the catamaran – while still in the van – and every minute thereafter, your seamless teamwork, great humor, and thoughtful attention left us feeling welcomed and cared for at every turn.
Your expert navigation, [crew’s] skillful detail, and [chef’s] creativity in the galley – all together with the [team’s] thoughtful service – bundled together an unforgettable experience we will not forget.
Each meal was not just delicious – it was an occasion – fresh, awesome presentation, and prepared with love and care. The whole team coordinated to serve our preferences even before we realized them.
Your smiles and readiness to help always made us feel welcome.
The coordination around the deck, galley, and interior was impressive – you all worked like a well-oiled machine, ensuring smooth sailing and memorable experience. You all didn’t just share your skills, but your love of the ocean and your presence with us, and that is a gift we will always remember.
This trip wasn’t just a charter – it will be an experience that stays with us. We will return home with beautiful memories. We will retell this remembrance with full hearts, and highest appreciation – cheers!
With appreciation,
The amazing crew made this experience unforgettable!As we return to USA our lives are forever changed and you all will be in our hearts and memories!
We were so incredibly blessed!
