What's included in a $29,999/week catamaran charter? ▾
At the Mid-Range tier ($15,000 – $30,000 / week), the base charter typically includes the yacht, insurance, dinghy, and bedding. Excluded: APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance, ~25-35% of base for crewed), fuel (~$30-60/day), transfers, gratuity (10-15% for crewed), mooring fees, and provisioning.
Which catamarans fit the Mid-Range budget tier? ▾
Within $15,000 – $30,000 / week, 7 production cats are solid picks: Leopard 45, Lagoon 46, Nautitech 46 Open, Excess 14, etc.
How do I get more for less when chartering on a Mid-Range budget? ▾
Three proven tricks: (1) shoulder weeks like Nov/May drop 25-35% off peak; (2) booking 90+ days ahead gives access to early-bird pricing; (3) last-minute deals exist in low season but trade off boat selection.
Should I choose bareboat or crewed at this tier? ▾
At this level, both work. Bareboat requires sailing experience (RYA Day Skipper / ICC equivalent); crewed adds $1,500-1,800/day but eliminates all sailing responsibilities.
Is this tier right for me? ▾
Mid-tier charter — 4-5 cabins, 46-55 ft, mix of bareboat (with experience) and crewed. The most popular price point for real-world charterers.
Crewed charters at this tier include captain only; add a hostess/cook for ~$1,200-1,800/day.
