Perfect for groups This 2020 Lagoon 42 catamaran is ideal for larger parties, 10 berths across 6 cabins means families or friends can charter together without cramping. The zero deposit is a genuine bonus that makes booking hassle-free.

Well-equipped cruiser You're getting serious comfort here: water maker, generator, solar panels, and a hydraulic gangway make life aboard genuinely easy. The sprayhood and bimini keep sun exposure manageable, while the autopilot and chart plotter handle navigation smoothly, no surprises, just straightforward sailing.

Strong operator backing Istion Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across 12 reviews is reassuring; they're an established, professional outfit that knows how to maintain their fleet and support international clients through the logistics of a long-haul charter.

Base location missing The charter base isn't listed in your data, which matters for flight connections and transfer times, that's something worth clarifying directly with the operator before you commit, especially if you're flying from the US or northern Europe.

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