SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This 2019 Bali catamaran suits couples or small families after stability and easy handling, catamarans are forgiving, spacious, and excellent for less experienced sailors. The three cabins sleep up to eight, so you've got room to breathe without feeling cramped.

Smart modern touches You get genuine comfort here: solar panels mean reduced generator noise, electric winches take the grunt work out of sailing, and heating is a real bonus for shoulder-season charters in cooler waters. The lazy bag and autopilot also signal a yacht designed for relaxation, not constant fussing.

Good value proposition At €5,000 deposit with Arcadie Plaisance (a solid French operator), this boat offers solid mid-range pricing for a newer catamaran in that size bracket. You're getting modern systems and decent amenities without paying peak-season superyacht rates.

One honest note The base location isn't specified in your data, so I can't advise on airport proximity or international flight connections, that matters when you're flying long-haul from the US or Northern Europe. I'd confirm with Arcadie whether transfers are straightforward before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Port Grimaud, in Grimaud, France. Poseidon is operated by Arcadie Plaisance.

Why this is a great starting point

Port Grimaud is a sheltered base on the French Riviera's Côte d'Azur, ideal for exploring the Îles d'Hyères (Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and Levant) within easy day sailing. Week 1 typically involves short hops eastward along the coast toward Saint-Tropez or westward to Sainte-Maxime, with consistent northwesterly Mistral winds making beam or broad reach sailing the norm. The marina itself sits in a protected lagoon, reducing exposure to open swell and offering simple access to some of the Mediterranean's most popular cruising grounds without long initial passages.

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