SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families L Hippocampe is an excellent choice if you're travelling with extended family or friends—10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy without cramping together. The 2024 build also means everything's new, reliable, and under warranty.

Smart modern setup Solar panels, electric winches, autopilot, and chart plotter in the cockpit make sailing genuinely comfortable for mixed-ability crews. The lazy bag and lazy jack simplify sail handling so you're not wrestling the main, and the bimini plus sprayhood keep you protected during longer passages.

Great value equation A zero deposit is genuinely rare and removes friction—you're only paying charter fees, no security hold. For a new 12m catamaran with this spec and guest count, the daily rate appears competitive, especially if you're splitting costs across a group.

One heads-up The base location isn't specified in the data, so before booking, confirm the charter base location and factor in your international flight routing—some Caribbean or Mediterranean bases involve tight connections. Once you know where it is, check transfer times from the nearest major airport.

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