SailChecker Expert View
Ideal for families The Excess 11 "Pura Vida" is a modern 2024 catamaran that suits families or small groups wanting comfort without complexity. Four cabins sleeping up to eight make it roomy enough for a relaxed week without feeling cramped.
Well-equipped cruiser This boat comes nicely kitted out for extended time away from the dock—solar panels, water maker, and air conditioning mean you won't feel you're roughing it. The autopilot and chart plotter handle navigation duties, which takes stress out of the sailing itself.
Price looks competitive At that deposit level and as a current-year catamaran with solid gear, the weekly rate should offer decent value for the space and self-sufficiency you're getting. The real question is weekly cost, which the data doesn't show—worth asking Barefoot directly.
One practical note The listing doesn't specify which base this boat operates from, which matters for your flight planning and transfer time from the airport. Contact Barefoot to confirm location and typical journey time from your nearest hub—that detail shapes whether this works logistically for your trip.

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