Charter Guide

Let us know about the dates that you would like to charter and for how many guests, including adults and kids. We suggest to book at least 6-7 months in advance, in order to make sure there is availability and occasionally, some special offers for early bookings.

As soon as the details have been confirmed (embarkation, disembarkation port, the dates, etc.), then you will be requested to sign the MYBA Charter Agreement to confirm your booking.

The type of contract that is used is produced by M.Y.B.A. (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association). To confirm your booking after signing, the payment of the 50% of the charter fee (1st installment) will be required. The balance of the charter fee plus the VAT (if any), the APA and any other agreed expenses (if any), security deposits (if any) etc., will be requested to be paid one month prior to the embarkation date.

The charter rate includes the yacht hire, the crew, crew’s food and insurance.

The charter rate does not include the guests’ food, drinks and beverages, fuel consumptions, gasoline for the water toys, the VAT, any local agent’s fees, and any communication fees. Laundry is also not included on the charter fee (unless otherwise agreed). For these additional expenses, you will be requested to pay an extra amount called APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance), which is usually the 30-35% of the charter fee. The crew can then prepare the vessel in advance, in terms of fuel and food provisioning prior to the embarkation (the food and drinks’ selection is based on the preference sheet that guests will be requested to complete).

The captain who will be responsible for the use of the APA will inform the Charterer at the end of the charter (or during the charter) for the APA balance, presenting all possible receipts. Should the APA finish before the end of the charter, Charterer will be requested to make an additional payment. If there is a refund, the Captain will reimburse with the relevant amount cash and prior to the Charterer’s disembarkation.

Additional information

Your Captain will give you a full safety briefing upon embarkation. If you have any questions regarding your safety, please do not hesitate to ask the Captain or any member of the crew.

Our guests’ & crew’s health and safety are always our first priority and with the Covid-19 pandemic we have established some hygiene standards according to the local guidelines and the MYBA protocol. Contact us for more info.

In case of inability to fly, the booking will be canceled and the 50% payment in advance will be refunded a week after the scheduled departure.

Please try to bring soft luggage, as storage. Ηard suitcases are always limited on yachts.

Bring shoes for onshore excursions but you will be kindly required to remove them when boarding the yacht because high heeled and hard shoes may damage the teak decks.

We highly recommend you bring any specific brands, or SPF strengths, which you may need and please avoid oil-based creams as they stain the decks and may cause slippery surfaces.

Gratuities are left solely at the Charterer’s discretion and they are a direct way of expressing the Charterer’s satisfaction in regards to the service he has received.
