A-PLAN Yacht Description
Presented by DMA Yachting, the impressive charter yacht A-PLAN is a 78 ft sailing catamaran. The most appealing features of A-PLAN are her impeccable styling and interconnection with the sea. A-PLAN spends the winter season in British Virgin Islands. She was constructed by the ship builder Sunreef Yachts in 2025. The ingenious yacht layout features 4 generous cabins and comfortably accommodates a group of 9 guests.
A-PLAN is offered primarily as a sailing catamaran. The yacht layout radiates from the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is expansive, with a comfortable dining and seating area and that's where the guests spend most of their time. The tasteful cabins are located in the 2 massive hulls. The cabins offer designer mattrace beds and feature ensuite bathrooms. Multiple portholes supply a sunny feeling, with the option for darkness and privacy.

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 A-PLAN, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€18,000 - €31,500), making the charter cost €108,000 to €121,500. 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.
