Swan, sized for eight. L HIPPOCAMPE is a 100-foot Nautor’s Swan sailing yacht, built in 2008 and refit in 2024, with accommodation for 8 guests in 4 en-suite cabins.
Easy water time. The swim platform makes getting in and out of the sea painless. No gymnastics.
Toys that get used. Days at anchor stay busy with paddleboards, adult water skis, a wakeboard, and snorkeling gear, with a Williams 415 Diesel Jet tender for quick hops and tow sports.
Comfort and screens. Full air conditioning keeps the interior civilized, and you have satellite TV plus Apple TV in all cabins. There’s also an outdoor projector for movie nights, and Starlink for when “unplugging” lasts an hour.

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 L HIPPOCAMPE, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€8,250 - €16,500), making the charter cost €63,250 to €71,500. 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.

Reviews
Captain Ella, your confident leadership and deep passion for sailing shaped every day beautifully. You thoughtfully curated our itinerary based on the weather and offered us wonderful options for our time ashore. Each day felt like it was crafted with such care and consideration—it made all the difference. You brought together an extraordinary crew who poured heart and soul into every moment. The food was beyond gourmet—absolutely delicious, creative, and always beautifully presented.
Chef Jordan, your eloquent explanations made each dish feel like a work of art. You thoughtfully accommodated our food allergies and preferences, making every meal an experience.
Anna, your warm presence and radiant smile brightened every day. You were so gracious and helpful, whether during meals, tidying our cabins, or taking care of laundry. The themed dinners were a delightful surprise—each one uniquely decorated, with personalized invitations and elegant touches. Your sommelier skills elevated the experience even further with thoughtfully chosen local wines, and your white glove service was pure class.
Tilo, your charm and enthusiasm for sailing were infectious. You handled every behind-the-scenes detail with such agility and care—scaling the mast, setting the sails, ferrying us ashore, and always ready to fix anything that needed attention. Your passion shone through in everything you did.
To preserve the memories, Ella created a beautiful photo journal, and Tilo produced a stunning video with drone footage that truly moved us. It brought tears to our eyes.
By the end of our journey, we felt like a family. Saying goodbye was emotional, but we know this isn’t the end—we’ll absolutely keep in touch and look forward to finding you somewhere else in the world for another unforgettable sailing adventure.
