Perfect for small groups. Caribbean Dandy suits couples or families of up to six looking for an intimate sailing experience without the crew overhead. The 11.8m size is forgiving enough for less experienced sailors while remaining nimble in tight anchorages.

Well-equipped cruiser. This 2019 boat punches above its weight with genuinely useful kit—water maker, solar panels, and electric toilet mean you can comfortably live aboard for extended periods, while the gennaker and spinnaker give you proper sail options in varying conditions. The sprayhood and bimini keep you shaded and dry, which matters on tropical routes.

Solid value proposition. At this size and age with these systems, the €5,000 deposit suggests competitive daily rates for what you're getting. You're looking at a capable, modern boat that won't nickel-and-dime you with equipment failures mid-charter.

Charter base missing. The listing doesn't show where Caribbean Dandy is based, so we can't advise on airport connections or local sailing conditions—that's genuinely worth confirming with Open Sail before committing, especially if you're coordinating long-haul flights from the US or Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at Port de Bormes-les-Mimosas, in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France. CARIBBEAN DANDY is operated by Open Sail.

Quai d'Honneur

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.
