Perfect for adventurers The Neel 43 is a modern trimaran that really suits sailors seeking something different—this isn't your standard monohull charter. The 2022 build is relatively new, and the five-cabin layout easily sleeps eight, making it excellent for groups or families wanting separate sleeping space without feeling cramped.

Standout design features Trimarans like this offer exceptional stability and shallow draft, meaning you can explore skinny anchorages and coastal areas that traditional yachts simply can't reach. The solar panels and inverter suggest eco-conscious cruising capability, while the autopilot and modern navigation gear (chart plotter, radar) let you sail comfortably without constant hand-steering on longer passages.

Solid value proposition A five-cabin 2022 boat at this deposit level represents reasonable value for a larger group charter. You're getting premium build quality and contemporary systems, which typically justifies the asking price for newer tonnage in this size bracket.

One honest note Trimaran charters aren't as mainstream as monohulls, so crew experience matters—if your group hasn't sailed one before, budget for a proper briefing or consider a skipper. Also, the outboard engine is fine for auxiliary use, but confirm fuel capacity and range match your planned itinerary, especially if you're chartering internationally with long legs between ports.

The marina & destination

Based at La Rochelle, in La Rochelle, France. Lungta is operated by Open Sail.

Can Lungta be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Lungta 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 Lungta?

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.
