SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. This 2024 Excess 11 catamaran sleeps up to 8 across 5 cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs and explore together. The beam of a cat means genuinely comfortable cabin space, not the squeeze you'd get on a monohull this size.

Well-equipped starter. You've got the essentials covered: autopilot and chart plotter for navigation, bimini and sprayhood for weather protection, plus snorkeling kit and dinghy included. It's a properly thought-out package that doesn't waste money on unnecessary extras, though you'll want to confirm exact cabin configurations and galley setup with ARCHON before booking.

Solid value proposition. At just €500 deposit on a brand-new cat with 5 cabins, the pricing looks competitive for a 2024 vessel, especially split across 8 people. ARCHON's perfect 5/5 rating (albeit on a small sample) suggests reliable service and well-maintained boats, which matters when you're flying long-haul to the charter base.

One realistic caveat. An 11.3m cat is forgiving to sail, but confirm whether ARCHON requires a skipper qualification or offers professional crew hire, that'll affect your actual cost and peace of mind, particularly if your group isn't experienced. Also clarify the base location; I don't see one listed, so factor in airport transfers and connecting flights once you've confirmed where you're departing from.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kos, in Kos, Greece. Eureka is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

G. Papandreou Str

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kos sits in the eastern Dodecanese and offers immediate access to a compact, well-protected cruising ground; you can reach Nisyros, Tilos, and Symi within day sails, with reliable northwesterly winds in summer making the return leg straightforward. The nearby Turkish coast at Marmaris lies just 40nm south, adding variety for sailors wanting to mix Greek and Turkish anchorages. First-week routes typically loop through the inner Dodecanese islands, giving you sheltered bays and short passages ideal for shake-down sailing before committing to longer distances.

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