Guest Feedback
Being interested to build/buy a new Sunreef 60, we were able to
book a last-minute study trip on Apollo 99.
Purpose was to experience on board the eco-system, the electrical navigation,
the real-life finishing details, learn about the pitfalls, etc.
However, due to the professionalism, helpfulness, kindness, availability,
attention for details, the whole crew turned our study trip into a very
beautiful holiday.

Bloody awesome trip and legendary crew to top it off !
Guest Feedback 2024
We had a great time on Sunreef 80 Eco !
The designation 'ECO" more than fulfilled its purpose.
We are marvelled of all the technology and designs of the Apollo 99.
The craftmanship and knowledge of captain Fabiano and his crew reach a very high level experience and hospitality.
I would also thank Dominique and Beatrice for allowing us to enjoy all the facilities on this crew.

One of the most beautiful weeks in our life
Thanks to one of the most beautiful crews
Thanks to one of the most beautiful attentions
Thanks to one of the most beautiful boats
Thanks to one of the most beautiful seas
We came to work on the Apollo 99,
but the crew made a holiday of it,
we’ll never forget!
Georgia’s glee and smile, Alexio’s great caring,
Anima’s beautiful and tasty dishes,
Ben’s help at every moment,
Fabio’s great skill,
we’ll miss them all.
Good luck to you all, and hopefully we’ll meet again!
Guest Feedback 2024
Our time upon Apollo 99 has been marked with ultimate relaxation, splendid service, and lots of fun! The vessel itself is gorgeous and an experience within itself to sail upon, but it is the enthusiastic,
dedicated, and super kind-hearted crew who made our trip so special.
Captain Fabiano is a highly skilled sailor, manoeuvering us wherever the most secluded and breathtaking spots were.
Georgia and Alexa made sure that we were well taken care of around the clock, meaning we felt truly at home.
Ben managed to keep our dresses from getting wet on the tender rides miraculously — a feat which with the Greek winds was far from easy.
We’ll never forget Anima’s delicious brownies, or the tastiest meals we’ve been served on the daily!
All in all, the crew’s knowledgeability, professionalism, and calm can be summed up in one event: when they saved us from a terrible storm, which pelted us with thunder, lightning, wind, and rain.
We felt fully safe in their capable hands, and that is the highest measure of a crew at sea.
Unforgettable week — Apollo 99 is our summer’s highlight!
Lots of love,
Greece, Summer 2024

Rates are Plus Expenses
High Season : 90 000 EUR/week + VAT + APA
Low Season : 85 000 EUR/week + VAT + APA
Low Season : 85 000 EUR/week + VAT + APA
What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.

Being interested to build/buy a new Sunreef 60, we were able to
book a last-minute study trip on Apollo 99.
Purpose was to experience on board the eco-system, the electrical navigation,
the real-life finishing details, learn about the pitfalls, etc.
However, due to the professionalism, helpfulness, kindness, availability,
attention for details, the whole crew turned our study trip into a very
beautiful holiday.

We had a great time on Sunreef 80 Eco !
The designation 'ECO" more than fulfilled its purpose.
We are marvelled of all the technology and designs of the Apollo 99.
The craftmanship and knowledge of captain Fabiano and his crew reach a very high level experience and hospitality.
I would also thank Dominique and Beatrice for allowing us to enjoy all the facilities on this crew.

Our time upon Apollo 99 has been marked with ultimate relaxation, splendid service, and lots of fun! The vessel itself is gorgeous and an experience within itself to sail upon, but it is the enthusiastic,
dedicated, and super kind-hearted crew who made our trip so special.
Captain Fabiano is a highly skilled sailor, manoeuvering us wherever the most secluded and breathtaking spots were.
Georgia and Alexa made sure that we were well taken care of around the clock, meaning we felt truly at home.
Ben managed to keep our dresses from getting wet on the tender rides miraculously — a feat which with the Greek winds was far from easy.
We’ll never forget Anima’s delicious brownies, or the tastiest meals we’ve been served on the daily!
All in all, the crew’s knowledgeability, professionalism, and calm can be summed up in one event: when they saved us from a terrible storm, which pelted us with thunder, lightning, wind, and rain.
We felt fully safe in their capable hands, and that is the highest measure of a crew at sea.
Unforgettable week — Apollo 99 is our summer’s highlight!
Lots of love,

Availability / Rates
Rates are Plus Expenses
High Season : 90 000 EUR/week + VAT + APA
Low Season : 85 000 EUR/week + VAT + APA
Low Season : 85 000 EUR/week + VAT + APA
What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.
