SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Excess 13 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with kids or want comfortable, spacious cruising without complexity. Four cabins and seven berths mean everyone gets reasonable privacy, while the catamaran's shallow draft and stability make it forgiving for less experienced sailors.

Standout kit included You're getting genuine extras here: snorkeling gear, SUP boards, a dinghy with outboard, water maker, and air conditioning across the boat. That's serious value-add that typically costs extra on many charter yachts, and it signals this operator genuinely equips their fleet well.

Solid value proposition At €7,110/week for a newer four-cabin cat with those inclusions, this is competitive pricing. The 5/5 operator rating (even with a small sample) and modest €1,500 deposit suggest straightforward, professional management—always reassuring when flying internationally to an unfamiliar base.

One honest note The base location isn't specified in your data, so I can't advise on airport connections or travel logistics. Before booking, confirm where Cavo Yachting operates and factor in any transfer time from your nearest international airport—that matters when you're crossing the Atlantic or flying from Europe.

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