Excess 11 | Pontinesia

Q: Can Pontinesia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Pontinesia 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.

Q: What sailing licence do I need to charter Pontinesia?

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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

watermaker/dissalatore

Perfect for groups This 2024 Excess 11 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together in the Mediterranean. The beam and layout of a modern catamaran mean comfortable communal space and stability, great for mixed sailing abilities.

Well-equipped modern boat You get genuinely useful kit here: water maker for extended cruising, solar panels to reduce engine hours, electric toilets and winches for easy handling, plus racing sails if you fancy a bit of pace. The convertible table and cockpit speakers suggest someone's thought about quality downtime between anchorages.

Solid value proposition A brand-new catamaran with this specification and berth count represents fair money, especially if you're splitting costs across a larger group. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable for a boat of this size and age.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in the details, you'll want to confirm exactly where you're departing from (likely the Adriatic or Ionian islands) and factor in your international flight routing to Italy, as that affects your total trip time and logistics.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Nettuno, in Rome, Italy. Pontinesia is operated by Sailing in Italy Charter.

Marina di Nettuno C.N. S.p.A Lungomare Matteotti snc

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Nettuno sits 40km southwest of Rome, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian coast's sheltered waters and island-hopping routes. Week 1 cruising typically reaches the Pontine Islands (Ponza, Palmarola, Zannone) with steady northwesterly winds pushing you south, or explores the Campania coast toward the Bay of Naples and Ischia. The marina works well for charters wanting cultural variety: you can anchor near Roman ruins and small fishing villages while building sea time before committing to longer passages south toward Sardinia or the Amalfi Coast.
