ARAOK Yacht Description
Introduced by DMA Yachting, the astonishing charter yacht ARAOK is a 58 ft sailing catamaran. The main attractions of ARAOK are her generous space and experienced crew. ARAOK spends the season in Greece. She was constructed by recognized shipbuilder FOUNTAINE PAJOT in 2018. The ingenious yacht layout features 3 large cabins and comfortably accommodates a group of 6 guests.
ARAOK is classified primarily as a sailing catamaran. The central space of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is generous, with a prominent dining and seating area and that's where most of the meals are served. The immersive cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant. The cabins are located below the main saloon, connected by stairs (inquire about handicapped access). Multiple portholes supply a sunny feeling, with the option for darkness and privacy.
What is the cabin arrangement of ARAOK?
- 1 Master cabin

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 ARAOK, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€5,000 - €8,750), making the charter cost €30,000 to €33,750. 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.
