Ideal for families The Dufour 430 is a brilliant choice if you're bringing kids or want plenty of comfortable sleeping space without breaking the bank. With 4 cabins, 10 berths, and a 2020 build, everyone gets their own bunk and the boat feels modern and well-maintained.

Really well equipped This yacht comes loaded with the stuff that actually matters: air conditioning, solar panels, a bow thruster for easy docking, lazy bag and lazy jack (massive time-savers), plus a barbecue and teak cockpit for relaxed evenings. You're getting genuine cruising comfort, not a stripped-down budget option.

Excellent value proposition At €2,975 per week with a 5-star operator rating, you're looking at solid pricing for a modern, spacious cruising boat with serious creature comforts included. That €2,000 deposit is reasonable too.

Base location missing The charter base isn't listed in your data, which matters for long-haul planners like most SailChecker clients—I'd need to know if you're flying into the Mediterranean, Caribbean, or elsewhere to assess airport transfers and convenience. Definitely confirm the base with Under the Heavens Sailing before booking, as that'll shape your entire trip logistics.

The marina & destination

Splitska 22-24

Can Catacea be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Catacea 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 Catacea?

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.
