SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Leopard 43 is a proven catamaran design that suits families and small groups wanting to explore French Polynesia without breaking the bank. Four cabins sleeping eight people, combined with a spacious deck layout typical of cats, means everyone gets room to breathe.

Solid cruising kit What stands out here is the practical spec: solar panels and a water maker mean you're genuinely self-sufficient for remote anchorages, while the snorkeling gear is a real bonus in Tahitian waters. The dinghy and outboard give you flexibility to reach smaller islands and reefs that larger boats can't access.

Good value proposition At a 2010 build with a modest €1,500 deposit, this is positioned as an accessible entry point into Polynesian sailing. You're getting a stable, easy-to-handle twin-hull platform without paying premium rates for newer tonnage.

One honest note The boat's age and the fairly basic entertainment setup (radio-CD) suggest this is a working charter vessel rather than a luxury experience. If you're flying 20+ hours from Europe or North America, you'll want to confirm the actual condition and whether the water maker and solar panels are genuinely reliable—these systems can be temperamental on older boats.

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