About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Ideal for Groups The Catlante 600 is a solid choice for larger parties or family gatherings, with 6 cabins and 12 berths, you can comfortably accommodate 10-12 people across multiple families. The flybridge and spacious cockpit layout are perfect for social cruising where everyone wants to enjoy time together.
Well-Equipped Cruiser This 2014 catamaran comes nicely kitted out with electric winches, lazy jack, chart plotter, and a decent dinghy, you won't need to negotiate extras for basic comfort and convenience. The bimini and cockpit cushions suggest previous owners took comfort seriously on longer passages.
Fair Value Proposition With zero deposit required and a 3.8-star operator rating, this represents reasonable value for a 17.3m catamaran in this age bracket. For international guests flying in, the zero-deposit angle removes friction and makes budgeting straightforward.
Charter Base Clarity Needed We don't have the charter location data here, which matters hugely, proximity to your arrival airport, local season, and support infrastructure vary dramatically depending on whether this is Mediterranean, Caribbean, or elsewhere. I'd recommend confirming the base with VPM Bestsail directly before committing, especially given the modest 3.8-star rating (4 reviews only).

The marina & destination
Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Iris is operated by VPM Bestsail - EIS Finance SARL.
Eden Island Marina in Victoria is the primary charter base in the Seychelles, positioned perfectly for exploring the inner islands of the Mahe group. Week 1 typically involves gentle sailing to nearby islands such as Praslin and La Digue, with consistent trade winds and short passages of 15-30 nautical miles that suit both experienced sailors and those acclimatising after long-haul travel. The protected anchorages around these islands offer good holding and predictable conditions, making this an ideal base for building confidence before considering longer passages to the outer islands.
