Perfect for groups The Maravigghia is a spacious 45-foot catamaran that sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to charter together without splitting multiple boats. The dual-hull design delivers excellent stability and interior volume, a real advantage if anyone in your group gets seasick.

Modern comfort included This 2025 build comes loaded with contemporary conveniences: solar panels with inverter for green cruising, air-con throughout, electric winches to ease sail handling, and a flybridge for lounging and entertaining. The lazy bag and lazy jack system means less faffing about with mainsail management, which is brilliant for relaxed sailing holidays.

Solid value proposition At this size and specification, the €800 deposit is reasonable, you're getting a new, well-equipped catamaran with serious cruising kit (generator, autopilot, chart plotter) that won't leave you scrambling to hire extras. The solar panels and inverter suggest the operator thinks about reducing fuel and energy costs over a charter week.

One honest note With 12 berths across six cabins, some cabins will be compact, likely suited to children or shorter stays rather than two weeks with full-size adults. Confirm the exact cabin configurations and berth sizes before booking if comfort spacing matters to your group.

The marina & destination

Based at La Cala (Porto Palermo), in Palermo, Italy. Maravigghia is operated by Lascatutto.

Why this is a great starting point

La Cala in Porto Palermo sits on Sicily's north coast, offering direct access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands. Week one typically covers the volcanic islands of Lipari and Vulcano (30-40 nautical miles), with moderate northwesterly winds pushing you southeast through excellent anchorages and fishing villages. The protected waters of the Cefalù coast lie westward for lighter wind days, making this an ideal base for mixed sailing conditions and a strong introduction to Mediterranean cruising.

Can Maravigghia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Maravigghia 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 Maravigghia?

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.
