SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for groups This 2025 Bali Catsmart works beautifully for larger parties of 6, 8 people seeking comfort without breaking the bank. The four-cabin layout and dual-hull stability make it perfect for mixed groups, families, friends, or couples traveling together, who want to share costs across more berths.

Well-equipped catamaran You're looking at genuine cruising conveniences here: solar panels and a water maker mean genuine self-sufficiency, while electric winches and autopilot take the hard work out of sailing. The snorkeling kit and SUP board are nice touches for laid-back tropical exploring, and a €0 deposit is refreshingly straightforward.

Solid value proposition A brand-new 11.8m catamaran with this specification, four cabins, modern electronics, and solar charging, typically represents honest mid-range pricing in the charter market. For six people sharing costs, the per-person daily rate becomes very competitive compared to monohulls of equivalent quality.

One realistic note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, which matters: if you're flying from the UK or US, you'll want to confirm that the base has straightforward airport transfers and English-speaking support staff. That four-cabin layout is spacious, but galley space on an 11.8m may feel snug for longer passages with a full crew.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Procida, in Procida, Italy. Free Wheeler is operated by MadMax Franchising Nautico.

Via Roma 1

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Procida sits on the northern coast of the island and offers straightforward access to the Bay of Naples cruising grounds; week one typically covers the Phlegraean Islands (Vivara, Procida's neighbour) and runs south to Ischia or Capri, all within 15-25 nautical miles. The marina works well for crews wanting gentle starts because the Tyrrhenian winds funnel predictably through the bay, and you can reach sheltered anchorages and small fishing villages without long offshore passages. From here you can also push further south towards the Amalfi Coast if conditions allow, giving flexibility for different ability levels.

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