Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is included in the charter rate? The base charter rate typically includes the yacht rental, crew service, insurance, and local port taxes in Turkish waters. Expenses such as fuel, food and beverages (provisioning), private marina fees, and Greek island entry/exit costs are usually extra. Our team will provide a detailed breakdown during the inquiry process.
2. Can we customize our menu for the trip? Absolutely. Through our Dayı Plus service, we create bespoke menus based on your dietary preferences and guest requirements. Whether you need vegan options, gluten-free meals, or specific gourmet products, we handle all the provisioning and catering details before you step on board.
3. Do I need a visa for Greek Island or Croatia routes? Visa requirements depend on your nationality. If your cruise includes crossing borders (e.g., Turkey to Greece), a valid passport and, if applicable, a Schengen visa are required. We can provide the necessary yacht documents to support your visa application.
4. What is the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance)? For motor yachts and some luxury gulets, an APA is collected in advance (usually 30% of the charter fee) to cover fuel, food, drinks, and port expenses. This is a transparent fund managed by the captain; any remaining balance is refunded to you at the end of the trip.
5. Is travel insurance recommended? While our yachts are fully insured for third-party liability and accidents, we highly recommend that all guests purchase their own personal travel and cancellation insurance for peace of mind.
6. Can we change our itinerary during the cruise? Your captain will suggest the best route based on weather conditions and your interests. While we have a planned itinerary, minor changes can be made during the trip, provided they are safe and logistically feasible.
