Catamaran rental with or without skipper

Catamaran rental

Catamarans are the perfect boat for any holiday, whether you’re looking to go on a family vacation or a crazy adventure with your friends. Catamarans are typically very spacious and comfortable boats, with many different ones available for any number of people.

Fuel costs for catamarans tend to be lower than that for other types of boats. Catamarans can also travel faster than monohull sailboats which means you will also have time to explore more places during your sailing vacation. Another factor that gives you the opportunity to visit more locations during your trip is that catamarans can enter shallower waters than most boat types. This gives increased accessibility to secluded beaches and coves, some of which are only accessible by boat.

Catamarans are the perfect boat for those who suffer from seasickness, as the double-hull design offers much more stability than monohull sailboats.

Where to sail with a catamaran?

The perfect destinations for a catamaran rental are those with secluded areas that are easiest to access by boat. This is because you will generally manage to get closer in a catamaran than in most other boats on account of their ability to enter shallower waters.

Generally speaking, the most popular locations for catamaran rental include Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Greece, the Balearic Islands, and many Caribbean Islands such as the Bahamas.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran?

There are many factors that can affect the cost of chartering a catamaran. Some of these include the location, the number of people, the model, the size, and the duration of your sailing holiday. Choosing to add amenities on board and hiring a captain can come at an additional cost. Generally, the price to rent a catamaran can be anywhere from $1,520 per week.

Additional costs to your catamaran rental will vary depending on the different owners. Generally, you can see which costs are included with the rental in the boat description. If not, or if you have questions, feel free to contact the boat owner directly. Some examples of things that often come as additional costs include water sports equipment that may be used for activities such as snorkeling, waterskiing, paddle surfing, the skipper, and fuel.

Most owners will also ask for a deposit, which you should pay at check-in. You will usually get this deposit back though unless you leave the boat in a worse condition than you found it. If you choose to rent without a skipper, you may also have to pay for insurance. Some owners will also want you to pay for their boat to be cleaned after your charter.

Although mooring fees at the base are often included in the rental costs, you will usually need to pay extra if you decide to moor in other places during your trip. Make sure to check beforehand the cost of docking in the areas you wish to visit.

Some catamarans also offer you the option of hiring a chef to prepare meals and drinks for you during your holiday. Choosing this option makes for a very relaxing trip and offers you the opportunity to try local food but almost always costs extra on top of the base costs for your rental.
