SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 46-foot catamaran sleeps up to 12 people across 8 cabins, making it ideal for families or friends looking to split costs on a week-long Caribbean adventure. At €2,700 per week, the per-person rate becomes genuinely attractive for larger parties.

Well-equipped cruiser You're getting solid essentials: dual chart plotters, autopilot, generator, dinghy with outboard, and a bimini for sun protection—everything needed for comfortable bareboat or crewed sailing in Cuban waters. The catamaran hull design offers stability and shallow-draft access to remote anchorages.

Honest value assessment The price is competitive for Caribbean catamaran charter, and the boat's layout maximizes space efficiency. However, she's nearly 20 years old, so expect honest wear; this is a working charter vessel, not a showpiece.

One real caveat The operator has only one review on file, so there's limited independent feedback to verify service quality or maintenance standards. Before booking, ask directly about recent refits, condition of cabins, and engine hours—these details matter on an older boat in saltwater conditions.

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