June 2024 - Broker Feedback :
“They (the client) never give any details of their trips. But this time they were extremely happy with the boat and the captain!”
September 2023 - Broker Feedback :
“We had the pleasure of chartering Sailing Yacht IKIGAI for our clients for a two-week trip September 2023. IKIGAI exceeded all expectations of the guests. Feedback indicated she was immaculate and beautifully appointed, offering both comfort and style throughout our journey.
However, what made their experience truly exceptional was the crew. From the very beginning, they were attentive, friendly, and accommodating to all their requests and the many guest changes. Their warm professionalism created an inviting and relaxed atmosphere onboard.
The principal guest remarked that it was "the trip of a lifetime," and the other guests expressed their desire to charter IKIGAI again in the future.
Great boat and great experience for everyone, including us, the booking brokers.”
April 2023 Charter in the BVIs - Client Feedback :
We had a great time, the Ikigai is a beautiful sailing boat and Joren & Lotte took great care of us. We preferred the most secluded bays which we stayed at which were absolutely fantastic and felt very special.
Some of the initial out dining options were not that great but Joren / Lotte found some better ones towards the end. Dining on board was excellent.
We had a great time diving as well.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

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.
