SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families Tongaroa is an excellent choice if you're chartering with kids or a larger group—four cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the catamaran's stability makes it forgiving for less experienced sailors. The 2013 Leopard 44 is a proven platform with a solid reputation for reliability.

Well-equipped vessel This boat has the essentials covered: water maker, generator, air conditioning, and solar panels mean you'll have genuine comfort on longer passages or remote anchorages. The snorkeling gear and SUP board are genuine bonuses for Caribbean or tropical destinations, and the dinghy with outboard opens up shallow anchorages.

Solid value proposition At a €3,000 deposit with those four cabins and this equipment spec, you're looking at reasonable per-person costs for a family charter. The 13-meter catamaran is spacious without being overly complex to manage.

One practical note The base location isn't listed in your data—before booking, confirm the charter base location and flight connections from your home airport, especially if you're traveling internationally. Some Caribbean or Pacific bases require a connection through Miami or similar hubs, which adds travel time.

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