Mendula Yacht Description
Built for big groups. MENDULA is a 41m (134.5ft) Custom motor yacht built in 2012 and refit in 2018, sleeping 26 guests in 13 cabins. If your guest list is long and you do not want to split across two boats, this is the clean solution.
Cabin math that works. The standout is the 13-cabin layout: a primary suite, nine double cabins, and three twins, all with en-suite bathroom facilities. No awkward rotation schedule. No “who gets the sofa bed” politics.
Easy water access. A swim platform and outdoor shower keep the swim-to-sundeck loop simple, and you have Wi-Fi plus a TV saloon for proper downtime when the group finally runs out of opinions.
Toys for all ages. The watersports line-up covers the classics: kayaks, paddleboards, floating mats, adult water skis, a wakeboard, and a towable tube. Add snorkeling equipment, and you have enough options to keep 26 people busy without overthinking it.

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 Mendula, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€5,520 - €11,040), making the charter cost €42,320 to €47,840. 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.
