Namaste is easily one of the top picks in Greece in her class. Sarah and I loved meeting the crew at the show—warm, professional, and instantly made us feel taken care of.
The chef is a major plus—the food presentation was beautiful, and more importantly, it tasted amazing. Way above the standard at this price point.
Nice layout, plenty of water toys, and an all-around solid catamaran. I wouldn’t hesitate to put clients on Namaste.

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 NAMASTE (SAMANA), the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€4,980 - €8,715), making the charter cost €29,880 to €33,615. 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.
