To our lovely Captain Apostoli and crew,
Dear Captain Apostolis and crew,
Thank you very much for the unforgettable week.
We had the best time with this top class crew of Captain Apostolis. Every member of his team must surely be handpicked. Nothing was too much trouble for this team, always anticipating the needs of the guests. One could sail all the Aegean, Mediterranean & Ionian seas and not find a better crew to show visitors the beauty of the Greek islands .
We had the best time on this yacht, made extra special by the people who took care of us , and take away memories that will last a lifetime. The smiles on our faces will remain for the next few weeks.
Thank you from all of us

p.s and as you maneuvered Elena into that tiny "parking lot" in Spetses harbor just seeing the look of awe on the faces of the crew in the next spot was worth a million, I also heard the captain point you out and saying you were the BEST! You certainly are the best of the best!! Many more years of the best sailing ever!
To the best crew of the Elena - Zoi, Jimmy, Kiriakos(the excellent cook), Captain Petros & finally Admiral Tolis for making our trip so memorable and of course Anna as auxiliary helper & translator. Thank you all very much - we had a great time!

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.

To our lovely Captain Apostoli and crew,
Dear Captain Apostolis and crew,
Thank you very much for the unforgettable week.
We had the best time with this top class crew of Captain Apostolis. Every member of his team must surely be handpicked. Nothing was too much trouble for this team, always anticipating the needs of the guests. One could sail all the Aegean, Mediterranean & Ionian seas and not find a better crew to show visitors the beauty of the Greek islands .
We had the best time on this yacht, made extra special by the people who took care of us , and take away memories that will last a lifetime. The smiles on our faces will remain for the next few weeks.
Thank you from all of us

He and his crew have taken such care to make the 6 days the best possible with special islands to visit, swims in balmy waters, delicious meals and wine, wine wine! Angela our love and thanks to the cew too!
What more can I say on the above that says it all! Thank you Toli and your crew for another fabulous opportunity to hit the seas on Elena ! love Bernie
p.s and as you maneuvered Elena into that tiny "parking lot" in Spetses harbor just seeing the look of awe on the faces of the crew in the next spot was worth a million, I also heard the captain point you out and saying you were the BEST! You certainly are the best of the best!! Many more years of the best sailing ever!
To the best crew of the Elena - Zoi, Jimmy, Kiriakos(the excellent cook), Captain Petros & finally Admiral Tolis for making our trip so memorable and of course Anna as auxiliary helper & translator. Thank you all very much - we had a great time!

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.
