SOLAR WINDS Yacht Description
Presented by DMA Yachting, the impressive charter yacht SOLAR WINDS is a 49 ft sailing catamaran. The most attractive features of SOLAR WINDS are her absolute comfort and experienced crew. SOLAR WINDS spends the summer and winter season in British Virgin Islands. She was constructed by the famous yacht builder Bali Catamarans in 2023. The expansive yacht layout features 4 cozy cabins and comfortably accommodates a maximum of 8 guests.
SOLAR WINDS is classified primarily as a sailing catamaran. The yacht layout radiates from the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is generous, with a prominent dining and seating area and usually it is where you, as a charter guest, spend most of your time. The fascinating cabins offer unbeatable views in the morning and are located just below deck. The cabins are located below the main saloon, connected by stairs (inquire about handicapped access). Multiple portholes add to the feeling of connection with the discovered environment.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like SOLAR WINDS, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price ($4,000 - $7,000), making the charter cost $24,000 to $27,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
