ARE MEALS INCLUDED?

For multi-day private charters, the standard charter APA system prevails.  APA which stands for “Advance Provisioning Allowance.” APA refers to expenses beyond the base charter cost, usually about 30% of the cruise cost, which includes extras, such as, additional diesel, meals and an on board chef.

The APA is paid up front and from this fund, expenses are made by the captain.  If the guests exhaust the fund, they need to replenish it based on their anticipated needs and desires.  For example, if guests wish to eat lobsters and drink champagne each night, the fund will need replenished quicker than if guests eat traditional Greek cuisine.   If the guests wish to deviate from the itinerary and go to a more distant island, the APA will need to be replenished for the extra diesel costs.

The APA system allows the chef to work with your group to satisfy your daily eating preferences. Once menus are established, the chef purchases the food supplies and prepares the meals.  Guests do not have the option to prepare their own meals on board.

Each yacht has a fully equipped galley to enable your party to be well-fed throughout the cruise. Meals are served al fresco on deck and/or the salon.
