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 By My Side, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€3,717 - €6,505), making the charter cost €22,302 to €25,090. 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.

Crew Information
Captain: MATEO GAŠPEROV
MATEO GAŠPEROV (Captain)
"Growing up by the seaside, I developed a deep love for the sea and boats, which made choosing a career in yachting an easy decision. With 7 years of experience working on various ships, I eventually had the opportunity to become a skipper in the yachting industry here in my homeland.
Throughout my journey, I’ve gained extensive knowledge about boats, engines, maintenance, and much more. I’ve always had a passion for working with guests, as I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. My time spent abroad has also helped me improve my English skills.
Sailing is not just my profession, but my passion. My goal is to offer every guest an unforgettable, enjoyable, and safe holiday experience. I am very proud to have the opportunity to share the breathtaking beauty of the Croatian coast and islands with you."
