What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
13 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
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.
