Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to charter AFRICA I?+

AFRICA I charters €200,000–€220,000 per week, plus VAT and APA. Contact Aris Drivas Yachting for current availability and a tailored quote.

How many guests can AFRICA I accommodate?+

AFRICA I sleeps 12 guests in 6 cabins. Cabin layout: 4 Double Cabins, 2 Twin Cabins. A professional crew of 12 is on board.

Where does AFRICA I operate?+

AFRICA I cruises the Mediterranean & the Middle East. Summer base: Athens, Greece. Custom itineraries are built around your preferences — contact Aris Drivas Yachting to plan a route.

Who built AFRICA I and what are her specs?+

AFRICA I is a 47m (154ft) motor yacht built by Benetti in 2010, with a refit in 2025. Cruising speed 16.5 knots.

What is included in the charter rate for AFRICA I?+

The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 12, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for AFRICA I before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.

When is the best time to charter AFRICA I?+

AFRICA I charters from €200,000 per week in low season and €220,000 in high season — a difference of about 10% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.

How do I book a charter on AFRICA I?+

Send an enquiry through this page or contact Aris Drivas Yachting directly. We confirm availability directly and hold dates on request, prepare a tailored itinerary and quote, and handle the contract, APA, and crew briefing end-to-end. DRIVAS has been brokering Greek charters since 1972.

From the Journal

Article: Cyclades by Superyacht: Beyond Mykonos and Santorini

Cyclades by Superyacht: Beyond Mykonos and Santorini

Mykonos and Santorini have earned their place on every Aegean itinerary, but the western and small Cyclades offer anchorages with no tender queues, no ferry wash, and no noise after midnight. For a captain who knows where to go, the difference is pronounced.

Article: The Aegean Table: a gastronomy charter of the Greek islands

The Aegean Table: a gastronomy charter of the Greek islands

A week at sea through the Cyclades and beyond, where every anchorage carries its own food tradition and every meal is sourced from the island you woke up beside. The yacht is the platform. The food is the journey.
