Dear Anka crew,
Thank you for the wonderful past few days.
First of all thank you to the captain for showing us the most beautiful places in Greece. We are very impressed by the beautiful nature and without you we would never have been able to find these places ourselves.
We would also like to thank Dennis for maintaining our tummy.
We are not going to get off the boat with a summer body.
The food was delicious, even though communication wasn’t our strongest side.
Thank you to Ahmed and Alessandro for exploring with us to find the most beautiful caves of Antipaxos. You guys have a lot of patience to wait until we had a perfect Instagram picture. We would also like to thank you for preparing the water toys every day.
This is secretly the best part of the holiday 🙂

To my special “friends”
There are NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE the experience my family and I felt during our family vacation with you! From the cheery “hello” in the morning to have a “goodnight” in the evening. I’m sure you realized how great our meals were because we always choose to have them here on board instead of a restaurant.
A special “thank you” for caring so much about my granddaughters and treating them like “Queens”! They will always remember those special moments.
The table setting were fantastic! Well now about the sports? What a thrill for me. I look back at the pictures and can’t believe it is me in the pictures!
It is with a heavy hart but great memories that I say “goodbye”.
Hopefully we will meet again someday!
May your future be happy and bright!
Love,
Cathy - Michael.
Rates are Plus Expenses
Weekly charter rate in high season (June 15 till September 15): 95.000€ plus VAT plus APA 35%
Weekly charter rate in low season (September 16 till June 14): 90.000€ plus VAT plus APA 35%

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.

The food was amazing and the hostesses were truely brilliant!
The captain took us to the best places and the boys looked after all our needs when we wanted to use the watertoys.
We will definitely be booking charters on this yacht for this season next!
Thank you from all of us at Sailstration Yachting!

8th July – 18th July 2024
Dear Anka crew,
Thank you for the wonderful past few days.
First of all thank you to the captain for showing us the most beautiful places in Greece. We are very impressed by the beautiful nature and without you we would never have been able to find these places ourselves.
We would also like to thank Dennis for maintaining our tummy.
We are not going to get off the boat with a summer body.
The food was delicious, even though communication wasn’t our strongest side.
Thank you to Ahmed and Alessandro for exploring with us to find the most beautiful caves of Antipaxos. You guys have a lot of patience to wait until we had a perfect Instagram picture. We would also like to thank you for preparing the water toys every day.
This is secretly the best part of the holiday 🙂

To the Anka Captain and crew,
We had a magical trip cruising through the Greek islands. Everyone was amazing, and we couldn’t imagine how our experience could’ve been any better! We are so grateful for the extraordinary service and care. Thank you so much.

A big thank you for a memorably vacation!
I appreciate you taking such great care of my girls. I never expected to meet people in another country I would feel comfortable enough to leave them with.
I enjoyed the food, water sports and travelling on the boat.
I feel very lucky to have this experience on a beautiful boat with the best crew.
Love,

To my special “friends”
There are NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE the experience my family and I felt during our family vacation with you! From the cheery “hello” in the morning to have a “goodnight” in the evening. I’m sure you realized how great our meals were because we always choose to have them here on board instead of a restaurant.
A special “thank you” for caring so much about my granddaughters and treating them like “Queens”! They will always remember those special moments.
The table setting were fantastic! Well now about the sports? What a thrill for me. I look back at the pictures and can’t believe it is me in the pictures!
It is with a heavy hart but great memories that I say “goodbye”.
Hopefully we will meet again someday!
May your future be happy and bright!
Love,
Cathy - Michael.

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.
