HBC Yacht Description

Introduced by DMA Yachting, the majestic charter yacht HBC is a 280 ft motor yacht featuring a jetski. The primary distinction of HBC are her elegant profile and culinary experience. HBC spends the winter season in the Bahamas. She was completed by the famous yacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen in 2008. A comprehensive refit was finalized in 2019. The spacious yacht layout features 11 cozy cabins and easily accommodates a maximum of 12 guests.

HBC is classified as a superyacht. The prominent section of the yacht, spacious aft deck, continues to the meticulously composed main saloon. The main saloon is a comfortable space to spend time when the aft deck might not be as desirable (at port, private conversations) and offers a range of entertainment options.

11 tasteful cabins are purposefully laid out with vison for maximum room, access, comfort and privacy.

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 motor yacht like HBC, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€212,500 - €340,000), making the charter cost €1,062,500 to €1,190,000. 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.
