SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This 14m catamaran is perfect for groups of 6–10 looking to sail comfortably without sacrificing space or modern conveniences. The four-cabin layout and dual-hull design make it stable and forgiving, even for less experienced sailors sharing the watch.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting genuinely useful kit here—water maker, electric winches, radar, and autopilot take the sweat out of longer passages, while the bimini and generous beam keep everyone comfortable in Mediterranean or Caribbean heat. The 2026 build year means everything should be in excellent condition with current systems.

Reasonable value proposition At this size and spec level, the €8,000 deposit is competitive, though you'll want to confirm the weekly rate with Arcadie Plaisance—the base location isn't specified in your data, so that will affect logistics from your home airport. The water maker and electric toilets are cost-savers over a fortnight-long charter.

One practical note Catamarans of this length can feel roomy but slightly slower in light winds compared to monohulls; if you're keen on pure speed or racing-style sailing, this trades that for comfort and stability—a fair trade for most groups, but worth knowing upfront.

The marina & destination

Based at Port Grimaud, in Grimaud, France. Salty 3 is operated by Arcadie Plaisance.

Frequently asked questions
Can Salty 3 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Salty 3 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 Salty 3?
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.
