Classic lines, modern build. COLUMBIA is a 43m/141ft sailing yacht launched in 2014 by Eastern Shipbuilding Group, built as a replica of the famous 1923 COLUMBIA fishing schooner. You get the look and feel of a proper throwback, without signing up for 1920s comfort standards.
Big-boat sailing, properly. Under sail she’s the real deal, but day-to-day life stays easy with full air-conditioning and heating. After dark, the underwater lights do the quiet heavy lifting for atmosphere. No effort required.
Cabins with actual space. She sleeps up to 12 guests in 4 cabins, all with private en-suites finished in marble. The master has a queen plus a Pullman and an en-suite with a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower; the VIP mirrors the queen-plus-Pullman setup, and the remaining two cabins are doubles with an additional single bunk above.
Water time is sorted. A 15ft/4.57m Williams Jet tender handles the runs ashore and tow fun, backed up by 2 paddleboards, a kneeboard, a towable tube, snorkel gear, and a 30ft hookah rig for longer hangs below the surface.
Accommodation
All guest accommodation is fitted with a nod to Columbia’s history in the fine wood panelling and teak and maple soles, with every modern convenience in her ensuite quarters and luxuriously proportioned high overheads benefiting from plentiful natural light.1 master stateroom with double bunk and Pullman, marble-clad ensuite with sit-down jacuzzi bath and shower

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 sailboat like Columbia, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price ($10,200 - $20,400), making the charter cost $78,200 to $88,400. 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.
