SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 2025 Astréa 42 catamaran suits families and friend groups of up to 8 who want comfort without complexity. The four cabins and modern equipment mean everyone gets proper space, and the wide hull keeps things stable even when the sea gets frisky.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting serious kit here: electric winches make sailing effortless, a water maker means real independence, and air-con plus a generator keep things comfortable in warmer waters. The swimming platform and snorkeling gear suggest this operator knows what makes a Mediterranean or Caribbean week memorable.

Honest about value A brand-new catamaran with this spec and cabin count typically represents solid value, though pricing depends entirely on your chosen week and destination—which I can't see from the data provided. The low €1000 deposit is refreshingly customer-friendly compared to industry standard.

One real caveat The charter base location isn't listed here, so I can't advise on airport access or how far you're flying from London or the US East Coast. Before booking, confirm the base with Almarea—that detail matters hugely when you're crossing time zones to reach your yacht.

The marina & destination

Based at La Cala (Porto Palermo), in Palermo, Italy. Rossa is operated by Almarea Charter.

Frequently asked questions
Can Rossa be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Rossa bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Rossa?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
