WHY NOT Yacht Description
Advertised by DMA Yachting, the majestic charter yacht WHY NOT is a 78 ft motor yacht featuring a jetski and a hot tub. The key elements of WHY NOT are her elegant profile and inviting socializing areas. WHY NOT spends the summer and winter season in Greece. She was delivered by the ship builder Dominator S.r.l in 2012. A well-done refit was delivered in 2024. The spacious yacht layout features 3 large cabins and easily accommodates up to 6 guests.
WHY NOT is classified as a superyacht. The key part of the yacht, spacious aft deck, is right next to the the heart of the yacht - the main saloon. The main saloon is a well-design space to spend time when the aft deck might not be as desirable (at port, private conversations) and serves as a location of entertainment. 3 welcoming cabins are purposefully laid out with vison for maximum room, access, comfort and privacy.
The motor yacht features ENGINES: 2x man V12 CR 1.800HP man GENERATORS: 2 x23kw Fisher panda engines .

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 WHY NOT, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€7,500 - €12,000), making the charter cost €37,500 to €42,000. 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.
