Perfect for families This 2022 Fountaine Pajot catamaran suits groups wanting comfort and stability, especially families with kids or mixed swimmers. The four cabins sleep eight across a proven, well-designed platform that prioritizes livability over speed.

Standout inclusions The ice maker and generator mean proper cold drinks and power for longer passages — genuinely useful on Caribbean or Mediterranean charters. You're also getting paddle boards and snorkeling gear built in, which saves money on add-ons.

Value is solid At €4,000 deposit for a newer, spacious catamaran with those amenities, this punches well above the usual charter-boat corner-cutting. You're not overpaying for the name or vintage.

One realistic note The base location isn't specified here, so before booking, confirm airport transfer times from your international gateway — some Caribbean bases require 2–3 hours from the main hub, which eats into your first day. Clarify English-speaking crew availability too if that matters to your group.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina de Portimao, in Portimao, Portugal. Foutaine Pajot ISLA 40 is operated by The Ocean Week.

Ponta da Areia

Can Foutaine Pajot ISLA 40 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Foutaine Pajot ISLA 40 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 Foutaine Pajot ISLA 40?

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.
