The Advance Provisioning Allowance — usually around 30% of the charter fee, paid before departure. It funds fuel, provisioning and berthing during the trip. Everything is receipted; the unspent balance is returned.

Can the itinerary be customized?

Always. The captain drafts a route around your pace and the weather, and it stays flexible day to day. Slow mornings, extra nights at a favorite anchorage — all normal.

Your chef prepares meals aboard, with ingredients provisioned through the APA. Before the charter we ask about favorites, allergies and dietary requirements; dinners ashore are easy to arrange when you want a change of table.

Soft-soled shoes, swimwear, something light for evenings ashore. Towels, linens and sunscreen basics are aboard. Pack less than you think.

Can I bring children?

Yes — the yacht is family-friendly, with netting, life vests in all sizes and a crew used to young guests. A baby cot, children's bathrobes and slippers are aboard, along with books and games such as Monopoly, UNO and cards. Tell us ages in advance so we can prepare.

What happens if the weather changes?

The captain adjusts the route around wind, sea state and local conditions. A changed plan usually means a more sheltered bay or a different harbor — safety comes first, and flexibility is part of a good charter.

Is SUE ROSSO right for a family or group of ten?

Yes. Ten guests sleep in five en-suite cabins: a full-beam master with a 200 × 200 cm bed, three doubles at 180 × 200 cm and a twin with two 80 × 200 cm beds. Children are welcome, and a nanny can be arranged.

Can the chef cater for special diets?

Yes. Tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies before the charter and the chef plans the menus around them.

Does a nanny count toward the ten guests?

A nanny who stays aboard overnight takes one of the ten guest places. For a nanny who joins during the day, we confirm the arrangement in your proposal.

How long is the airport transfer?

It depends on the port where your charter begins. We confirm the transfer and its timing with you in the proposal, and coordinate it with the captain so boarding runs smoothly.

Can we bring our dog?

Yes, pets are welcome aboard. Tell us about them when you inquire so we can prepare.

Can I have a massage on board?

Yes. A licensed therapist joins on request and works wherever on board you prefer — on deck at golden hour is a favorite.

Is there Wi-Fi on board?

Yes. Starlink internet runs throughout the yacht, with strong Wi-Fi in every cabin.

Is the yacht quiet at anchor?

Yes. A 6 kWp solar bimini and an 84 kWh lithium bank let her lie at anchor through the night with the generator off — no hum, no diesel smell in the cove.

In any month the sea allows. SUE ROSSO sails the Mediterranean; each destination page lists its best months and high season.

Where does the charter start?

SUE ROSSO's home port is Bodrum Marina, Türkiye. Tell us where you would like to begin and we will confirm the options in your proposal.

Do we need any boating experience?

No. The captain and crew operate the yacht and look after every passage, tender trip and water-toy setup. You can be as involved or as happily uninvolved as you like.

How does crew gratuity work?

Gratuity is customary at the end of a charter but always discretionary. If you would like guidance, ask us before departure; it is normally given to the captain to distribute fairly across the crew.

Planning your charter

A good charter is carefully prepared, then lightly held.

Tell us the shape of the week

Start with your dates, party size and a rough idea of the region. You do not need a finished itinerary — a preferred pace, a few places and the moments you want from the week are enough.

Receive a considered proposal

We match the dates, pace and cruising ground, then return with a clear proposal and the first sketch of a route. It sets out the charter fee, the APA and what happens next without burying the useful part in fine print.

Confirm the yacht and dates

Once the agreement and first payment are in place, the week is yours. We introduce the captain, confirm arrival details and turn the broad plan into something the crew can begin preparing around you.

Make the yacht feel like yours

A preference sheet covers food, drinks, routines, allergies, celebrations and how you like to spend a day. The chef builds menus around it; the crew prepares the details that make the yacht feel familiar from the first hour.

Keep the route beautifully flexible

The captain refines the route around your pace, local conditions and the latest forecast. It remains deliberately loose once you leave — more time in a favorite bay is often a better decision than following yesterday's plan.

Fees and APA

Clear before you book. Accounted for while you sail.

Charter fee

The yacht and the people who run her

Exclusive use of the yacht, her captain, chef and full crew, yacht insurance and the standard collection of water toys are included in the charter fee.

APA

The week's running account

The Advance Provisioning Allowance is normally around 30% of the charter fee. It funds fuel, food, drinks and berthing according to the week you choose to have.

Final account

Every expense stays visible

The captain records expenditure throughout the charter and keeps you informed. At the end, the account is reconciled and any unspent APA balance is returned.

Before you board

The small details are where the week starts feeling personal.

Your preferences

Tell us favorite breakfasts, dietary requirements, drinks, music, celebrations and the kind of pace that feels like a vacation to you.

Your arrival

We coordinate the marina, transfer timing and luggage with the captain so boarding feels like the beginning of the week, not another travel connection.

Your suitcase

Bring swimwear, light layers, soft-soled shoes and something easy for evenings ashore. Cabins have limited storage, and almost everyone is happier packing less.

Questions answered

The practical things people ask before their first charter.

The yacht herself, her full crew, insurance and the standard water toys. Fuel, food, drinks and port fees run through the APA, so the fee itself has no surprises inside it.
