Indoor to outdoor, sorted. M3 is a 147ft motor yacht built in 2002, set up for guests who want easy deck flow and proper outdoor living, not just a sunpad photo.
Sundeck that earns it. Head upstairs for a large sundeck with a deck Jacuzzi, wet bar, and multiple seating and dining options. Shade when you want it. Sun when you do not.
Water time is simple. A full-beam extended swim platform makes getting in and out of the sea (and onto the toys) painless, with a 35ft Everglades towed tender plus an 18ft Novurania for hopping around.
Comfort for ten. She sleeps 10 guests in five cabins, including a main-deck master with a private lounge, plus a VIP, two queens, and a twin. Stabilizers at anchor help keep things calm when you are parked up.

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 motor yacht like M3, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($36,250 - $58,000), making the charter cost $181,250 to $203,000. 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.

Reviews
He really felt your enthusiasm and it made them enjoy the trip that much more. He feels that he made friends on this trip and noted he hopes to have you down to the “ranch” for some hunting Toby!
They were amazed at how you all could anticipate what they needed and had it ready for them before they even asked.
He loved the beach trips and noted that he now understands why a crew of 9 is really necessary as everyone was busy all the time, just taking care of them in one way or another. He REALLY appreciated how your guys took care of his Dad. He said I think they were watching as any time my Dad got close to the steps, two guys were right there to help him with smiles and made his Dad feel ok to be “helped”.
They loved all the food and said they finally had to stop the chef from preparing appetizers twice a day as they were getting “fattened” up.
Overall it was just perfect for them and he advises he would gladly recommend the yacht and this crew to ANYONE.
Thank you again for taking such good care of <Mr. Client> and his family. I think we may see them again.
