OWNER'S VERSION | NEW 2026 LITHIUM BAT, GEN SET, WATER MAKER, AIRCON, SOLAR PANELS, CABIN FANS, 2 X REFRIGERATORS, ELECTRIC WINCH

Perfect for groups This 2020 Excess 12 catamaran sleeps seven across three cabins, making it ideal for families or small groups wanting to charter together without splitting costs across multiple boats. The beam and open-plan layout typical of Excess catamarans means plenty of space below deck and excellent sociability in the cockpit.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting serious kit here: water maker, generator, solar panels, spinnaker, autopilot, and air conditioning all standard. The lazy jack and cockpit speakers show the owner understands what makes bareboat chartering genuinely comfortable rather than just functional.

Excellent value proposition At €3,324 per week (roughly £2,800), you're paying roughly £400 per person for seven, that's competitive for a modern, fully-equipped catamaran. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and Messinia Yachts' perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just two reviews) suggests reliable service and handover standards.

One caveat worth noting The base location isn't specified in your data, so confirm it's genuinely convenient to your nearest airport before booking, some Greek charter bases require 2-3 hour transfers, which adds friction to a long-haul flight. Once you've verified the logistics, this looks like a solid, unpretentious boat for a group holiday.

The marina & destination

Based at Kalamata Port, in Kalamata, Greece. Spearhead is operated by Messinia Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Kalamata Port in the southern Peloponnese is ideally positioned for exploring the Messinian Gulf and the Ionian Islands to the west. Week 1 typically involves sailing north towards Pylos and the sheltered anchorages around Navarino Bay, or westward to Sapienza Island and beyond, with moderate northern winds providing consistent conditions. The marina serves as a practical departure point for charters targeting less-crowded Ionian cruising grounds, though it requires a longer initial passage than more northerly Greek starting points.

Can Spearhead be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Spearhead 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 Spearhead?

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.
