Onboard catamaran BY MY SIDE in Split - one of my favorite catamaran layouts. Why? The bar between the main saloon and the back deck + the master cabin on the bow - with a view over the sea.
But what is a big sell for BY MY SIDE is the extra effort put into making her look fantastic - the design skills of the stewardess are incredibly unique and worthy of a superyacht. Her aim is to deliver maximum value!
15 knots cruising speed - puts BY MY SIDE in the fastest category for cats her size. She also has a big tender!
I love her!

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 (€4,200 - €7,350), making the charter cost €25,200 to €28,350. 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.
