Crewed yachts provide a captain, hostess/chef, and any number of crew depending on the size of the yacht.The professional crew will delight in showing you the beauty of the Greek islands, cruising from one island to the other and dining on gourmet meals. A crewed yacht charter offers a wide selection of amenities (water toys, entertainment system, books & games etc).

You don’t need to have any experience to enjoy a crewed yacht charter. The professional crew will give you a specific orientation, including the do’s and don’t’s which are minimal. The boat will feel like a 5-star hotel, and it’s all yours!

The captain is responsible for accounting for all A.P.A. expenses during the charter, and the breakdown will be presented to you in a clear manner at the end of the charter. If the costs incurred during the charter are less than the A.P.A. deposit, then the difference will be refunded to the Charterer at the end of the charter.If the costs incurred during the charter that are over and above the A.P.A. deposit then this difference will be payable by the Charterer at the end of the charter.
