Free Wings Yacht Description
S/Y FREE WINGS
We present to you a true Aristocrat of the Seas. S/Y FREE WINGS is a unique and charming fully-classified (RINA) sailing ketch with real yachting pedigree. She is a product of the world-renowned New Zealand shipyard Thackwray Yachts - most famous for producing a string of eye-catching sailing titans which re-invented the genre. S/Y FREE WINGS was carefully designed as the harmonic fusion of sailing performance and luxurious comfort aboard. She is a true world-class international cruiser comfortable at an extraordinarily nippy 12 knots thanks to her near 350m2 of high performance rigging and her sleek aerodynamics designed by naval architect Jorgensen Marine. Meanwhile her reception areas and staterooms offer a level of quality and comfort only comparable to a luxury hotel. Ideal for a family of 6 looking for exploring the Dalmatian coastline in style and great comfort.
Presented by DMA Yachting, the majestic charter yacht Free Wings is a 98 ft sailboat. The main attractions of Free Wings are her impeccable styling and fantastic layout. Free Wings spends the winter season in Croatia. She was completed by a custom yachtbuilder in 1984. A well-done refit was fulfilled in 2017. The expansive yacht layout features 4 cozy cabins and easily accommodates a maximum of 8 guests.
Free Wings is classified primarily as a sailboat.

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 sailboat like FREE WINGS, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€3,075 - €6,150), making the charter cost €23,575 to €26,650. 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.
