The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for groups. This Leopard 48 catamaran sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for two families or a group of friends wanting to share costs on a week-long charter. The layout and berth count mean everyone gets reasonable privacy without breaking the bank per person.
Well-equipped vessel. You're getting serious cruising credentials here, water maker, generator, ice maker, and air conditioning mean genuine comfort and independence on the water. The autopilot and chart plotter handle navigation, while the barbecue and inverter let you enjoy proper meals and modern conveniences without constantly running ashore.
Solid value proposition. At €8,050 per week (around £6,800 or $8,500 USD), you're paying a fair rate for a four-cabin cat with this spec sheet, especially when split among eight people. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable and protects both you and Island Castaways.
One honest caveat. A 2016 Leopard 48 is now eight years old, so you'll want to ask Island Castaways directly about recent refit work, canvas condition, and engine hours, standard due diligence that helps avoid surprises once you're at sea. Don't let age alone put you off, but definitely confirm the maintenance history before committing.

Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Unforgettable is operated by Island Castaways.
Eden Island Marina in Victoria is the primary charter base in the Seychelles, positioned perfectly for exploring the inner islands of the Mahe group. Week 1 typically involves gentle sailing to nearby islands such as Praslin and La Digue, with consistent trade winds and short passages of 15-30 nautical miles that suit both experienced sailors and those acclimatising after long-haul travel. The protected anchorages around these islands offer good holding and predictable conditions, making this an ideal base for building confidence before considering longer passages to the outer islands.
