What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families The Carpe Vitam is an excellent choice if you're chartering with kids or prefer the stability and space of a catamaran. At 12 metres, she's compact enough to handle easily but offers three cabins and sleeping for eight, making her genuinely comfortable for a multi-generational group or two couples who value their own quarters.
Well-equipped and modern This 2021 build comes loaded with the essentials: solar panels and a water maker mean you're self-sufficient at anchor, while the electric winches and autopilot take the grunt work out of sailing. Air conditioning, heating, and a decent galley setup (refrigerator, coffee maker) suggest the owners understand what makes a charter week actually relaxing rather than a survival challenge.
Solid value proposition At around €4,720 per week, you're paying fairly for a newer catamaran with this spec and berth count, especially if you're splitting costs among four to six people. The €3,800 deposit is reasonable and reflects a well-maintained vessel that the operator trusts in your hands.
One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters considerably when you're flying internationally to reach your boat. Before booking, confirm where Nave Yachting operates her and factor in ground transfers from the nearest airport, that detail will affect your overall trip logistics and cost.
