Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 · BLUE VELVET

Main starting points are spread across Italy’s most beautiful regions:

• Sicily: Palermo, Trapani, Capo d’Orlando, Milazzo.

Prices depend on the model, the season, and whether the boat is bareboat or crewed. As a rough guide:

• 4-cabin Lagoon 42 / Bali 4.2 — bareboat: €6,000–€9,500 per week shoulder season; €10,000–€14,000 in peak July–August.
• 46–50 ft catamarans: €12,000–€20,000 per week peak; €8,500–€13,000 shoulder season.
• Skipper: €180–€220 per day plus food.
• Hostess / chef: €180 per day.

Fuel, water, marina fees, and marine-park permits are paid at cost. Every quote lists mandatory extras and optional add-ons transparently.

The base bareboat rate covers the catamaran with its standard inventory — sails, dinghy and outboard, bed linens, galley kit, and safety gear. Charts and a plotter are always on board.

Charged separately at cost: fuel, water, marina fees on your route, end-cleaning, transit log, marine-park permits where required, and optional extras like skipper, hostess, water toys, or early check-in. Italian VAT is included in the displayed price.

Cancellation terms are listed in your charter contract and depend on the partner base. As a general rule:

• More than 60 days before departure — typically 50% refund of the deposit.
• 30–60 days before departure — typically 25% refund.
• Less than 30 days — usually non-refundable.

We strongly recommend a charter cancellation insurance policy, which protects the full charter fee against medical emergencies, family events, or visa issues. Read more on our payment procedure page.
