Perfect for families This 2025 Elba 45 catamaran suits groups of up to 8 looking for comfort and space without breaking the bank. The four-cabin layout with a water maker and air conditioning means you can cruise longer and stay cooler, which matters on extended charters in warm destinations.

Well-equipped modern cat Electric winches, generator, inverter, and a lazy bag are exactly what you want on a newer catamaran—less grunt work, more relaxation. The galley refrigeration plus water maker combination gives you genuine autonomy for week-long island-hopping without constant provisioning stops.

Strong value proposition At this spec level with 2025 build quality, the €4,000 deposit signals competitive pricing for a catamaran in this size range. You're getting a genuinely modern boat with creature comforts, not a bargain basement rental.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, which matters for your flight connection and handover logistics. Once you identify where Barcando operate this boat, check airport proximity and whether they offer transfer coordination—that's often the difference between a smooth arrival and a frustrating day.

The marina & destination

Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. BLU DOLPHIN is operated by Barcando Charter.

Contrada S. Gregorio

Can BLU DOLPHIN be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter BLU DOLPHIN 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 BLU DOLPHIN?

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.
