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 Rara Avis, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€9,750 - €19,500), making the charter cost €74,750 to €84,500. 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.

Cheryl Bliss
“Ante, thank you so much for everything, you took such good care of us all, we appreciate it so much. Everyone on the boat works so hard, thank you once again.”
Patricia Murphy
The boat is really well designed, the rooms have excellent size and amenities, more than what we’ve expected. All areas of the boat are spacious and allowed our family of 13 members to get together all the time, but at the same time, we could have areas for privacy.
The boat is in excellent condition and the crew was extremely respectful and joyful, with an attitude towards service that we all enjoyed.
Be sure that we will meet you in the years to come!”

The worst part about the trip is leaving! Its even difficult to write in this book.
Words on paper cant describe the feelings we have for Rara. Thank you for making our second time around even more special and memorable as first. I wish you all could come to my house so I could show you the same love and hospitality you have show to us! You take us to the most incredible journey. Captain goes above and beyond to put us in places that make our hearts skip a beat. Other memorable moments are
–“Kiki, do you love me” LOL, and how he kicks our childrens asses at FIFA.
“Matea” always there when I need her and for the “Bis” keeping us so clean.
“Steve” the spider monkey. How do you jump rocks like that? Are you a beast?
“Captain” – a million thank yous are not enough. You always make us feel safe. God bless you and your family.
“Marco” you have spoiled us. I don’t want to go home and cook. We love you all!!!
