SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for relaxed groups. The Happy Ours suits families or friends wanting a laid-back catamaran week without the premium price tag—four cabins sleep eight comfortably, and that dinghy opens up shallow anchorages the bigger boats can't reach.

Smart creature comforts. Solar panels, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a generator mean you're genuinely comfortable rather than roughing it; the snorkeling kit is a nice touch for exploring reefs, and the autopilot takes pressure off longer passages.

Honest value proposition. At €5,579 per week you're getting a well-equipped 2017 cat with solid amenities—not flashy, but sensible. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, though the single five-star review tells us Conch Charters is either brand new or very selective about their fleet, so do ask directly about their track record.

One heads-up: We have no base location listed, which is unusual—contact Conch to confirm where you're actually picking up and what the nearest airport/transfer logistics look like, since you'll likely be flying international to reach this boat.

Frequently asked questions
Can Happy Ours be rented with or without a skipper?
Happy Ours can be chartered bareboat (without a skipper) if you have the required sailing qualifications, or with a professional skipper hired through Conch Charters if you prefer — just confirm your preference when booking.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Happy Ours?
For a bareboat charter of Happy Ours, you'll need a recognised sailing qualification such as an RYA Coastal Skipper, ASA 104, or equivalent certification demonstrating catamaran and offshore experience — Conch Charters will verify this at check-in.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter price typically covers the vessel, standard safety equipment, bedding, and basic navigation gear; fuel, provisioning, mooring fees, and water/electricity are usually extra — ask Conch Charters for a detailed inclusions list when you quote.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
At the British Virgin Islands base, budget for fuel, provisioning, optional equipment (kayaks, snorkelling gear), mooring/anchorage fees, and any overtime hours — a final account is typically settled at the end of your charter.
How does the security deposit work for Happy Ours?
The €3,000 refundable security deposit is held against any damage or excessive wear during your charter and is returned in full if Happy Ours is returned in good condition — this is standard practice with Conch Charters.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary depending on how far in advance you cancel; most charters allow free cancellation 60+ days out but charge penalties closer to your departure date — check Conch Charters' specific policy when you book.
Is Happy Ours insured?
Happy Ours carries operator liability and damage coverage; your security deposit protects against minor wear, though you're responsible for damage caused by negligence — ask Conch Charters about their insurance excess and whether optional damage waiver is available.
What documents do I need to bring?
Bring a valid passport, sailing qualifications (RYA/ASA certificates), driving licence, and any travel insurance documents; if you're flying from the US or Europe to the British Virgin Islands, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months.
What payment methods are accepted?
Most UK charter brokers and Conch Charters accept bank transfers, credit cards, and payment plans; confirm accepted methods and whether international transfers from the US/Europe incur fees when you finalize your booking.
