They thought the yacht was fantastic, with great spaces inside and out, immaculately presented and nothing missing.
Most importantly, the clients loved the crew. They though Captain Dave was super professional, charming and created a great atmosphere onboard. They really appreciated his knowledge of the area and all the great anchorages he found for them.
They said the atmosphere onboard was very relaxed and they were made to feel totally at home, which was exactly what they wanted. Service was excellent and they were very happy with the Chef’s cooking!
The clients have chartered numerous times in the past and told me that this experience matched everything they have had on other much larger yachts at considerably higher rates.
Thanks again,
M, R, R & P.
I can't wait to see you all and go to Greece. Thank you for having fun with me.

Max and I were landing in Tortola with no idea on now or who to call! We were in the blind for a second when out of nowhere. Hero Jiorgos was standing outside the airport with our names on a sign!! Stelios waited for us to arrive and gave us a warm welcome that tasted our whole week.
If we needed something, there they were. So attentive, so much hospitality, so much comfort.
On top of that, Nick our Chef was absolutely incredible. Every meal was savory and just incredible. This was one of the most wonderful vacations we have ever had. Jumping in the water, snorekling, drinks etc... These two made this wonderful.
We will most certainly cross paths again.
Thank you for the best new Years Eve.
Enjoy Greece!
With love, M, D
The best crew! We felt at home on this amazing boat. Every single need was met with joy. We had a fabulous time... We would love to come back... something tells me we will.
Thanks for everything. First class all the way.

You are both such special individuals. You have made this family vacation one that none of us will ever forget! It has been transforming for each of us. We so appreciate your sharing your love of the sea and all the beauty it has to offer as well as your appreciation for the simpler, more important things in life. Audrey too expressed how rejjuvenated she feels and how much more confident she is after this week.
Stelios with his gentle encourgaement and direction made her feel that she could accomplish many things she never would have otherwise. And, of course the delicious food!
Jiorgos, each one of us really enjoyed your stories and adventures and we also want to thank you for taking the time to take a real interest to get to know each one of us individually.
We will miss you both very much.

The yacht was fantastic, and that Captain Dimitri and his crew were wonderful.
If they have the possibility, they would love to come back again next year to do it all again.
THANK YOU for making it such a great charter.
FAQ
WHAT TO DO IN THE BAHAMAS?
We’ll be pleased to assist you in deciding which activities suit your personality and interests the best. Your crew and captain are experts. They are familiar with the locale and the greatest things to do. They can give advice on where to go fishing, diving, or snorkeling. They are aware of the locations of the remotest beaches. They can give advice on the top boutiques, eateries, or nightclubs.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN REGARDS TO MEALS?
We’ll provide you a food choice survey to fill out so we can figure out what kinds of meals you and your visitors would like to eat while you’re away. Along with your preferences, the form will ask about any dietary requirements, medical restrictions, or food allergies that any members of your party may have. Prior to your departure, you will also get the chance to ask any questions of a crew member. The team will next make your favorite cocktails and fresh, gourmet meals for the rest of the voyage.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RATES LISTED?
Running costs are not included in the rates given for motor yacht charters and must be paid separately. Catamarans for sailing must be all-inclusive. The costs are determined by the number of people and cover all meals, drinks (including the typical ship’s bar), fuel, ice, and aquatic activities. Taxes, dockage fees, and communication expenses must all be paid individually.
Food, alcohol, fuel, dockage, port fees, and any other costs associated with the charter are considered running costs.
Typically, the operating costs represent 35% of the base charter fee. A 35% Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) will be paid in advance of your departure, giving the crew time to stock the yacht. A detailed breakdown of all costs will be provided to you at the conclusion of the charter. If there is still a balance, you will get a refund; however, if expenses are higher than the APA, you will have to pay the outstanding balance before disembarking.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS?
Florida’s tax ranges from 6-7%, depending on the port of embarkation, while the Bahamian tax is 14%. The charter cost also includes tax.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?
What to anticipate if you have to cancel your vacation is covered in your charter agreement. To protect yourself in the event that unavoidable circumstances force you to cancel your trip, we advise buying cancellation insurance.
WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE CAPTAIN WHILE ON MY CHARTER?
A luxury yacht rental is made to meet all of your requirements for the entirety of your journey. The skipper and crew will do everything possible to meet and exceed your expectations. The captain’s first priority, however, is the security of his crew and the boat. He has the last say on anything that could affect the safety of passengers.
IS IT CUSTOMARY TO TIP THE CREW?
Yes. Although not required, leaving a tip is encouraged, especially if your yacht rental experience left you feeling especially satisfied. At the completion of your charter, you should give the captain a 15% gratuity.
HOW DO I RESERVE A YACHT?
Once you’ve decided on a yacht, we’ll place an “option” on it, securing it for 48 hours while you finish the paperwork. Then, a yacht charter agreement must be read and signed. We are happy to answer any queries you may have and thoroughly explain the terms. You must send your completed contract together with a deposit for the charter.
HOW MUCH IS THE DEPOSIT?
50% of the charter cost is required as a down payment; however, if there are less than 30 days to departure, the whole amount is due. The deposit is made via bank wire transfer and is kept in an escrow account by the principal agent of the yacht until just before the charter date. You have secured the yacht once we get your signed contract and down payment.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED AND THE DEPOSIT IS MADE?
We’ll start collaborating with you to customize your charter. Your food and exercise preference survey will be delivered to you. We’ll set up a phone call for you and the crew. We will assist you in planning all charter-related details, including transportation in a limousine and flights.
WHEN IS THE FINAL PAYMENT DUE?
If you are renting a motor boat, the APA funds and the remaining balance of the charter are due 30 days before the start of your trip.
