A catamaran anchored in a clear blue bay

Catamarans · 40–46 ft

Catamaran charter

Space, stability and a swim platform on each hull: catamarans are the favourite of families and groups of friends.

Why a catamaran

Two hulls mean almost no heel, a huge cockpit and saloon on one level and cabins at either end for privacy. With a shallow draft they anchor closer to the beach than any monohull.

What to expect on board

  • Cabins 4–6 double cabins, usually each with its own head
  • Comfort Flybridge or forward lounge, trampoline, generator on larger models
  • Who it suits Families with children, two couples sharing, first-time charterers
Questions, answered

Good to know

What is included in the price?

The weekly charter fee covers the yacht, its standard equipment, insurance of the hull and the mandatory extras we list on every yacht page — typically final cleaning and bed linen. The transit log, fuel, marina fees outside the base, food and drinks and any optional extras (skipper, paddle-board, outboard) are extra and shown before you pay.

How does the security deposit work?

A refundable security deposit is pre-authorised on a credit card at check-in at the marina — it is not charged. It is released after the yacht is returned undamaged. The amount is shown on each yacht page.

Do I need a sailing licence?

Only for a bareboat charter. The skipper needs an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or an equivalent national licence, and someone aboard needs a VHF/SRC radio certificate. Prefer not to sail yourself? Book a skippered or crewed yacht and no licence is needed.
