Q: What is The Cost of A Crewed Charter?
A: The cost of crewed charters vary depending
on the size of vessel, power or sail, number of people on board, etc.
The duration of the charter is usually a week, but can be any length.
Generally, when you charter a crewed boat in Greece you pay for the
Yacht, the fuel, the food provisioning and the Bar, as well as a 4%
VAT tax on the charter fee.
The price per person starts around $1400. Motor yachts cost more than
sail. Groups on larger yachts can often be less expensive per person
than a couple on a small yacht. Yachts are available for parties of
2 or more. Large groups may prefer to charter more than 1 yacht and
travel as a flotilla. This is very common, especially for corporate
groups.
Dockage and shore excursions are extra.
Gratuities are the norm when the service merits it. Remember that your
crew work hard to ensure your vacation is a great one. They are your
chef, bartender, tour guide, waiter....

Q: What kind of activities are there to do?
A: All yachts have water sports and will
vary depending on equipment. These might include snorkeling, Scuba Diving,
kneeboarding, water-skiing, windsurfing, kayaks, fishing and, of course,
sailing.
Most water sports are included but some are extra, and can be arranged
by your crew. These would be diving and parasailing.
On shore activities can be recommended by your crew and will vary depending
on the island.

Q: What type of food and drinks are served?
A: The menus are designed around your
food preferences. The chefs are excellent and can usually prepare any
dish requested.
Drinks such as wine, beer and alcohol are not included as part of the
Charter Agreement. You will be asked for your favorite list and we will
arrange that the Bar will be stocked at your expense.

Q: What's our itinerary going to be like?
A: The itinerary is based on your preferences
of activities. The crew know the territory very well and will tailor
the cruise to fit your requests. The Greek Islands offer a tremendous
variety of bays, anchorages and little ports to visit.
It isn't possible to see everything in one visit however, and you may
need to adjust your itinerary to accommodate your schedule and activities
you have chosen or return again in the future for another charter
Back to Top
Q: What Should You Bring?
A: First, only bring soft sided luggage
since space is limited and storage is easier. Also hard luggage can
damage woodwork and paint.
For clothing bring casual wear, mostly shorts and T-shirts, and swimsuits.
A few of the more formal restaurants require long pants and collared
shirts and occasionally a jacket, but "smart casual" is the norm.
Your own mask and snorkel if your inclined. If you are expecting to
scuba dive, check with us to make sure of the available equipment on
board the yacht.
If you bring your own sunscreen, please don't use oily lotions as
it stains the yachts upholstery and can make the decks and hand holds
slippery.

Q: What's the weather like?
A: The country's geographical location
is responsible for its climatic range with mild winters and warm summers
cooled by a system of seasonal breezes in the summer popularly called
"meltemia." An outstanding feature of the Greek climate is its ample
sunshine, estimated to be 3,000 hours/year.

Q: Do you offer Special Cruises?
A: Yes, there are cruises to meet almost
every need. Some of these include:
Scuba Diving
Many programs are available for diving from beginner up to Advanced
Diver.
Honeymoon and Wedding trips
We have done weddings aboard our yachts on occasion, most of which
were pre-planned! More commonly though is the honeymoon cruise. Our
private yachts provide one of the most romantic ways to begin your
new life together – without any worries after all you've gone
through with the preparation.
Special Diets
Most of our yachts will do everything to accommodate your personal
dietary requirements. Many can do vegetarian menus that will delight
everyone, not just the vegetarians! Kosher is not available.
Clothing Optional
Many yacht crews do not mind their guests 'expressing themselves,'
and the seclusion possible on your own yacht ensures you privacy.
