About this yacht
Security deposit 4000 EUR for bareboat charters. Bareboat charters capacity 8 guests.
SailChecker Expert View

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.

The marina & destination

Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Unforgettable is operated by Island Castaways.

Why this is a great starting point

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.

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