SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. The Excess 14 sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a longer charter. At this price point, you're looking at excellent value per person for a modern catamaran.

Well-equipped vessel. Solar panels, water maker, and a generator mean real self-sufficiency, you won't feel tethered to marinas. Air conditioning, electric toilets, and an inverter make multi-day cruising genuinely comfortable, not just tolerable. The autopilot is a genuine bonus for longer passages.

Strong value proposition. At €6,460 per week, you're paying roughly €540 per person for a dozen people, which is competitive for a 2026 catamaran with this spec. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and manageable.

One realistic note: We don't have the base location listed, so I can't advise on flight connections or transfer times from your nearest international airport. That detail matters significantly for long-haul bookings, do check where MG Vacanze operates this boat and factor in travel time to the charter base.

The marina & destination

Based at Santa Maria di Leuca, in Leuca, Italy. Elyvian Dream is operated by MG Vacanze.

Why this is a great starting point

Santa Maria di Leuca sits at the heel of Italy where the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the dramatic Salento coastline and the Greek-influenced islands of the southern Ionians. Week 1 typically sees you cruising north along the Adriatic's limestone cliffs and cave systems, or southwest toward the Aeolian Islands if winds favour; the area experiences consistent northerly winds in summer that suit both directions. The marina provides good access to charming anchorages around Gallipoli and Taranto, plus the option to reach Albania's Ionian coast within 2-3 days if you prefer less-travelled waters.

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