Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Included: The charter fee covers accommodation for up to 12 guests in 6 cabins and a service crew of 10. It includes a 7-night charter, daily cleaning, WiFi, and use of all onboard amenities, including the sundeck Jacuzzi and a wide array of water toys (2 Jet Skis, 2 Seabobs, E-Foil, Wakeboard, SUPs, and more).
Extra: The base rate excludes 13% VAT and a 30% Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA).

Question 3

Who is this yacht best suited for?

Accepted Answer

This yacht is highly versatile and recommended for VIPs, families, and mixed groups. Her layout is particularly conducive to flexible groups because 4 of her cabins are convertible from Double to Twin. This makes her excellent for multi-generational families or corporate incentives where bed configurations need to change. The high crew-to-guest ratio (10 crew for 12 guests) ensures a premium service level suitable for luxury travelers.

Question 4

How does the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) work?

Accepted Answer

Scorpios operates with a 30% APA. This prepaid fund covers all variable expenses not included in the charter fee, such as fuel for the yacht and tenders, docking fees, port taxes, food, and beverages. The captain maintains a strict set of accounts throughout the charter. If your consumption is less than the allowance, the balance is refunded; if it exceeds the amount, the difference is settled before disembarkation.
