About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Solid family choice. The Papaya is a 2018 catamaran that sleeps up to 10 across 4 cabins, making it ideal for multi-family groups or friends wanting shared costs on a larger vessel. The dual-hull design offers excellent stability and spacious saloon living, perfect if you want comfort beyond just sleeping.
Smart onboard setup. Solar panels and an inverter mean efficient power management for longer trips away from shore, while dual chart plotters (one in the cockpit) keep navigation straightforward. The autopilot, bimini, and lazy bag cover the practical essentials for relaxed cruising without constant fiddling.
Strong operator reputation. Sailme CM Charter has a perfect 5/5 rating across six reviews, which is genuinely reassuring, that consistency suggests reliable boats and good customer service, both things that matter when you're flying in from abroad and need peace of mind.
One minor note: At 11.7 metres, this is a manageable catamaran but does require confident sailing or a hired skipper if you're not experienced; the size means moorings and harbour fees may be steeper than smaller yachts, so factor that into your budget beyond the €3,500 deposit.

The marina & destination
Based at Marina Port Ibiza, in Ibiza, Spain. Papaya is operated by Sailme CM Charter.
Marina Port Ibiza sits on Ibiza's east coast and offers easy access to the Balearic Islands' protected anchorages within a day's sail; week one typically takes you to Formentera's shallow bays, the Es Vedrà area, or northward to the less-crowded islands of Es Canar and Tagomago. The marina works well for sailors seeking short hops between established anchorages rather than long-distance cruising, with moderate summer thermal winds and numerous options to avoid the busier tourist harbours. Direct flights from major European and UK hubs mean minimal transfer time to the boat.
