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 power catamaran like Big Joy, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€2,050 - €3,588), making the charter cost €12,300 to €13,838. 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.

A large soft pillow on the huge prow will take care of you under the sun. Inside, we found a spectacular owner’s cabin, located in the right hull, with a king-size bed and a private, spacious bathroom with shower.

To complete the sleeping area, we have a fourth cabin on the property with a big bathroom and shower box. The inside layout is completed by a huge and deluxe dinette, a kitchen located just in front of the cockpit, and a wet bar that looks out on the cockpit. This modern kitchen position will allow you to either fully enjoy the cockpit or prepare amazing dishes to have with your family and friends. The yacht also has a generator, air conditioning, and a hydraulic crane that will allow you to haul and launch a big tender or a jet ski.
