SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Aventura 37 is a modern 2023 catamaran that suits groups and families wanting comfort without excessive complexity. With three cabins sleeping up to eight and a flybridge for socialising, it's genuinely liveable for a week-long charter.

Smart modern touches Solar panels and an inverter give you real independence offshore, while essentials like autopilot and chart plotter handle the navigation legwork. The flybridge is a genuine standout, you get brilliant sightlines and a proper social hub that smaller monohulls simply can't match.

Reasonable value proposition At €6,500 deposit, this feels fairly positioned for a nearly-new catamaran in this size range. You're getting recent build quality and low-maintenance systems, which matters when you're flying long-haul to reach the base.

One realistic note The base location isn't specified in the data, so you'll want to confirm airport transfer time and whether MCS-Catamarans offers English-speaking support, both matter when coordinating from overseas. Catamarans also occupy more mooring space than monohulls, which can push some anchorages off-limits depending on your intended sailing area.

The marina & destination

Based at Port de Sete, in Sete, France. Orphea is operated by MCS-Catamarans.

Rue de la Peyrade

Why this is a great starting point

Port de Sète sits at the gateway to the Étang de Thau lagoon and offers easy access to the French Mediterranean coast westwards towards the Camargue and eastwards to the Languedoc vineyards region. Week 1 charters typically explore shallow-water sailing through the lagoon system, protected anchorages at Marseillan and Mèze, or venture onto open water towards the Îles d'Hyères if conditions allow. The marina works well for sailors wanting protected waters combined with cultural stops; you can reach Montpellier by inland canal or sail into deeper blue water and away from the crowds within a day's run.

Frequently asked questions
Can Orphea be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Orphea 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 Orphea?
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.
