Perfect for couples or small groups. At 11.8m with three cabins and six berths, Caribbean Dandy suits two to four people comfortably, larger groups will find sleeping tight. She's genuinely well-equipped for independent sailing, with dual chart plotters, a water maker, and solar panels that keep you self-sufficient between ports.

Smart cruising kit. The gennaker and spinnaker give you serious sail options for downwind work, while the sprayhood and bimini mean you're protected from the elements when you need it. Having both an electric toilet and refrigerator onboard removes two common rough-boat frustrations, and the dinghy is essential for Caribbean exploration.

Good value overall. A 2019 boat with this spec and ground-tackle is fairly priced for the Caribbean market, the water maker and solar panels especially save you money and hassle over a week's charter. The €5,000 deposit is reasonable and manageable.

One fair note: We don't have the charter base location listed, so I can't advise on flight connections or airport transfers, those logistics matter when you're flying international. Reach out to Open Sail directly to confirm the base and factor in your travel time, especially if you're connecting through a hub like Miami or San Juan.

The marina & destination

Based at Le Marin, in Martinique, Martinique. CARIBBEAN DANDY is operated by Open Sail.

Why this is a great starting point

Le Marin sits on Martinique's south coast and serves as the perfect launch point for exploring the southern Caribbean's best-protected anchorages; you can reach Diamond Rock, the Grenadines, and St. Lucia's pitons within 2-3 days of sailing. The trade winds blow consistently from the east, making week one ideal for island-hopping down to Bequia and Mustique before stronger winds develop mid-week. The marina itself offers good facilities and provisioning, with most charter yachts departing here to take advantage of the sheltered Windward Islands passage to the south.

Can CARIBBEAN DANDY be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter CARIBBEAN DANDY 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 CARIBBEAN DANDY?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
