Perfect for groups The Arcturus is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends, 10 berths across 5 cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy, and the 16.8m catamaran hull keeps things stable and spacious. With a 2025 build, you're getting brand-new systems and minimal maintenance surprises.

Well-equipped for comfort This boat ticks the boxes for extended cruising: water maker, generator, air conditioning, and an ice maker mean you won't feel like you're roughing it. The bow thruster and autopilot take stress out of tight anchorages and long passages, while the bimini keeps sun exposure manageable in warm climates.

Solid value proposition At €13,000 per week for a modern 5-cabin catamaran, the pricing sits fairly in the mid-range for this class and size. That low €1,000 deposit is refreshingly customer-friendly compared to typical 20, 30% upfront asks.

One thing to note Equatorial Yachts has only one review on record, it's a perfect 5-star, but a single rating doesn't yet paint a full picture of consistency. Before committing, you might want to ask the operator directly about their fleet size, turnaround procedures, and whether English-speaking crew or briefing staff are available for international arrivals.
