SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups Bacchus is a genuinely impressive choice if you're chartering with a larger party or extended family—12 berths across six cabins means everyone gets their own space without cramping together. The catamaran hull gives you excellent stability and interior volume, which groups really appreciate for comfort over a week.

Well-equipped vessel This boat ticks the practical boxes: electric winches make sailing easier, the swimming platform is a genuine plus on warm-weather charters, and having both a generator and inverter means reliable power. The flybridge layout is ideal for groups who want to spread out, and the lazy jack keeps sail handling straightforward.

Reasonable value proposition With zero deposit required, the financial entry point is low, which is attractive for larger bookings where upfront costs mount quickly. That said, the operator's 3.8/5 rating across four reviews suggests solid but not exceptional service—worth reading those reviews before committing.

Age worth noting At 12 years old, Bacchus is approaching middle age for charter catamarans, so while the equipment list looks comprehensive, you might encounter more wear than a newer vessel. Always confirm the condition of key systems like the generator and electronics directly with VPM Bestsail before booking, especially for a longer charter.

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