Question 1

What is included in the charter rate, and what is extra?

Accepted Answer

The charter fee is comprehensive, covering accommodation for up to 8 guests in 4 luxury cabins and the services of a dedicated, professional crew of 6. This rate also ensures your comfort with daily cleaning, complete linens, towels, and Wi-Fi access. Additionally, guests have full use of the yacht’s impressive leisure equipment, including 2 Jet Skis, 2 SeaBobs, the outdoor gym, and the swimming platform.

However, there are additional costs to consider beyond the base rate. A 13% VAT and a 35% Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) are added to cover taxes and operating expenses. Land transfers to and from airports or hotels are not included, and crew gratuities are discretionary (typically 10–20% of the charter fee). Please also note that a re-delivery fee of €3,000 applies specifically for one-way routes between Makarska and Dubrovnik.

Question 2

What makes Cynthia unique?

Accepted Answer

The Cynthia is a striking 35.25-meter (115 ft) motor yacht by the esteemed Italian shipyard Maiora. Following a full refit in winter 2024/2025, she perfectly blends timeless elegance with modern adventure.

Performance & Comfort: Powered by twin MTU engines, she is built for speed (max 32 knots) and stability, featuring both zero-speed and underway stabilizers for a smooth journey in any condition.
Outdoor Living: Her exterior spaces are a major highlight, particularly the expansive flybridge with a hardtop, outdoor bar, and shaded sunbathing spots. She also features an outdoor gym, allowing guests to stay active while enjoying panoramic views.
Service: With a high crew-to-guest ratio (6 crew for 8 guests), the service level is exceptionally personalized and attentive.

Question 3

Who is Cynthia best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Cynthia is an excellent choice for intimate groups, families, and VIPs looking for a fast, stylish, and service-oriented experience.

Guest Capacity: She accommodates 8 guests across 4 cabins:
- 1 Master Suite (King bed, ensuite)
- 1 VIP Suite (King bed, ensuite)
- 2 Double Cabins (One Queen bed, one Double bed)
Important Layout Note: While the Master and VIP suites have their own private ensuite bathrooms, the two Double cabins share one bathroom. This layout is ideal for families with children or close-knit groups but is important to consider for couples requiring total privacy.

A detailed account is provided to you at the conclusion of the trip, and any unspent funds are refunded in full.
