SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Eleuthera 60 is ideal for families or friend groups of 6, 8 looking to explore the Caribbean in comfort without breaking the bank. With four cabins and a catamaran's signature stability and space, everyone gets their own bunk and breathing room, rare at this price point.

Well-equipped vessel She's loaded with practical cruising kit: two chart plotters, autopilot, bow thruster, and Wi-Fi keep navigation and connectivity sorted, while the teak cockpit, bimini, and cockpit cushions make lounging genuinely pleasant. The lazy bag and sprayhood are smart touches that save effort when sailing and improve comfort underway.

Solid value proposition At 18 metres, she's large enough to feel roomy but manageable for mixed sailing ability; the catamaran hull gives you forgiveness and shallow-draft flexibility. A zero deposit through Cayo Tardo Charter removes friction, that's genuinely customer-friendly.

Age is the trade-off Built in 2006, she's now approaching 20 years old, so you're buying character and affordability rather than cutting-edge fit-out. Factor in a pre-charter survey and realistic expectations about cosmetics, but the solid equipment list suggests she's been maintained for actual use, not just parked.

The marina & destination

Based at La Cala (Porto Palermo), in Palermo, Italy. Whale is operated by Cayo Tardo Charter.

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.

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