SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for groups The Eye Candy is a solid choice if you're chartering with 8, 12 people or a multi-family gathering. Six cabins across a 21.4-metre catamaran give everyone reasonable private space without feeling cramped, and the flybridge adds genuine lounging room for the crew to spread out between swims.

Well-equipped and comfortable She ticks the practical boxes: air conditioning throughout, a swimming platform, electric winches to reduce physical effort, and a full suite of navigation gear. The lazy jack and bimini mean less faffing with sails and sun exposure, which matters on a longer charter when fatigue sets in.

Reasonable value, fair operator Zero deposit required is refreshing, and the 3.8-star rating from four reviews suggests VPM Bestsail runs a reliable operation. For a 2019 catamaran with this cabin count and equipment, pricing should be competitive within the Mediterranean or Caribbean market, worth comparing against similar Lagoon or Fountaine Pajot models.

One practical note The operator data doesn't specify the charter base location, so confirm where she's moored and calculate your flight time from your home airport before booking. Some bases in less-central regions can add 4, 6 hours of transfer time, which affects your arrival day and overall trip value.

The marina & destination

Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Eye Candy is operated by VPM Bestsail - EIS Finance SARL.

Why this is a great starting point

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.

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