SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Excess 14 catamaran sleeps up to 8 across 4 cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long escape. At €7,650/week, you're looking at roughly €950 per person for eight—genuinely competitive for a 2026 catamaran with this layout.

Well-equipped vessel This yacht ticks all the boxes: water maker and generator mean you're self-sufficient at anchor, air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable in warm climates, and the teak deck feels premium. The included snorkeling gear, SUP, and dinghy with outboard get you exploring beyond the main anchorages without extra rental costs.

Solid operator choice Cavo Yachting holds a perfect 5-star rating (granted, only 4 reviews), and the modest €1,500 deposit suggests transparent, customer-friendly terms. You're chartering a nearly-new boat from a broker with real accountability behind it.

Missing one detail The charter base location isn't listed in your specs, which matters considerably for international travelers planning flights and airport transfers. I'd recommend confirming the base with Cavo Yachting—whether it's Mediterranean, Caribbean, or beyond will shape your logistics entirely.

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