Not a crewed yacht: this boat charters without a professional crew.

No crewed season rates for this yacht.

No water toys or diving listed for this yacht.

Cabin charter (book a single cabin) is not offered for this yacht.

Who This Suits. El Paso works well for larger groups or families after genuine value; at 12 berths across 6 cabins, you're getting affordable space without paying premium rates. The Lagoon 40 catamaran platform is forgiving enough for less experienced skippers, though you'll want at least basic sailing credentials.

What Stands Out. The 2018 build means systems are modern without being over-engineered, and the catamaran hull gives you stability and room that monohulls can't match at this price point. Charter 4 Fun's Mediterranean base offers straightforward access from major European airports, and the modest €2500 deposit keeps entry costs reasonable.

Real Value Assessment. At €1990 per week, you're in budget-friendly territory; the price-per-berth math is genuinely competitive if your group fills those cabins. You're not paying for flash, just functional sailing capacity.

Worth Knowing. Six cabins on an 11.7-metre cat means some berths will be compact; clarify cabin configurations before booking, especially if anyone in your group needs more personal space. Check whether the operator's fuel and provisioning policies suit your plans, as these can swing final costs either way.

Based at Marina Frapa, Croatia. EL PASO is operated by Charter 4 Fun.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Frapa sits in central Dalmatia with easy access to the Adriatic's most sheltered cruising grounds; week one typically takes you through the Trogir archipelago and down to Hvar and Pakleni Islands, all within 20-30 nautical miles of departure. The prevailing northwesterly Maestral winds favour downwind passages along this coast, making for straightforward sailing with plenty of anchorages and small ports to explore. The nearby Dalmatian islands offer protected waters ideal for crews new to the area, while larger boats can venture further south towards Korcula and Vis by mid-week.

Location: Marina Frapa · Croatia
Check-in: Flexible from 17:00. Alternative times can usually be agreed with the operator at booking.
Check-out: By 09:00 on the return day. Empty the boat, refuel if required, then a 30-minute handover with the base manager.
Licences: A recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) and VHF radio licence are required for bareboat charter. Sailing CV listing your previous yachts and miles is checked on arrival.
Security deposit: €2,500 · held at base by card swipe or cash. Refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation: Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment.

Can EL PASO be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter EL PASO 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 EL PASO?

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.

Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?

Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
