The consensus seems to be that Freedom is the best option for large group yacht charters (22 to be exact)—you get so much yacht and great luxury facilities for your money! But that is if you can get her.
We are not the only ones who see the value in freedom; she only has one week of availability left for the summer of 2025. Why is she so popular? Because she is one of the few yachts to offer this much luxury for that many people for that price. She is considered a mini cruise ship (this means she is certified with the right safety equipment to have more than 12 people onboard), but she manages to maintain her private superyacht feel.
Plus, she has fantastic amenities, including a spa, gym, pool, jacuzzi, cinema room, poker table, and a huge garage full of water toys.
Freedom Yacht Description
Advertised by DMA Yachting, the impressive charter yacht Freedom is a 158 ft motor yacht featuring a jetski and a hot tub. Freedom spends the summer season in Croatia. She was delivered by the ship builder Custom Built in 2019. The ingenious yacht layout features 11 cozy cabins and easily accommodates a maximum of 23 guests.
Freedom is classified as a superyacht. The generously sized aft deck is right next to the the heart of the yacht - the main saloon. The main saloon is a comfortable space to spend time when the aft deck might not be as desirable (at port, private conversations) and enables a number of media entertainment options. 11 elegant cabins are thoughtfully spread out for maximum privacy and comfort.
The motor yacht features ENGINE - Scania C13 (500 HP) GENERATORS - Onan 27kW & Linz 35 kW & Pramac 35 kW & Fiat 11o kW engines and a generator.

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 motor yacht like Freedom, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€30,000 - €48,000), making the charter cost €150,000 to €168,000. 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.
