From Marina Estrella Charter we want you to know the advantages of renting a catamaran to make your choice easy. Most of sailors today prefer a catamaran rather than a mono hull sailboat to enjoy their holidays.
Contents
WHY TO CHOOSE A CATAMARAN
- Habitability: Catamarans have double space of a sailboat. In addition, they have more ventilation, more lighting and an incomparable 360º view. They have larger spaces on the decks and larger cabins.
- Good by sickness! The catamarans almost do not list and do not have the typical swing of monohulls. So that, we forget to have to constantly maintain balance. The holidays will be more relaxed!
- Comfort and independence: The cabins, that double the size of the sailboats, are located on the skids of the boat. This allows us more privacy if we wish. Further, the area designated for the crew is usually separated from the spaces for the guests.
- Lower draft: this allows us to anchor and navigate inaccessible areas for sailboats.
- Higher speed: modern catamarans can sail 25% faster than a sailboat windward and with stern wind up to 75%.
- For the most cautious: the catamarans are designed in such a way that even with serious damage to the hull their performance is not affected
With Marina Estrella Charter you can rent any type of catamaran since we offer different options according to the preferences and budget of each client. Here we present a selection of catamarans that we have classified according to their features:
RENT BAREBOAT CATAMARAN
To rent a catamaran without a skipper it is necessary to have a Spanish or any foreign sailing license that is valid according to Spanish law. Customers who prefer to rent without a skipper, value to have privacy and independence in a medium size catamaran.
They are usually people who are or have been ship owners and are used to sail and prefer to take over the governance of the boat even if they lose some benefits of hiring a professional skipper

| You can rent this standard catamaran or a similar one for a very affordable price in all seasons of the year. |  |

The cheapest catamarans are the oldest, but most of them have a refit that makes them perfect for those groups that do not look for luxuries or certain benefits of premium boats, but an affordable price to their holidays

RENT A CATAMARAN WITH SKIPPER
Renting a catamaran with a skipper even if you have a license can make the stay much more pleasant and carefree. As most of sailors know, boat can never be anchored without a person with certification on board. This is the biggest advantage of renting a catamaran with skipper: he will always be on board and will take care of the less pleasant tasks of the ship’s government. In addition he can advise about the best areas according to your preferences.
As an example of this type of catamaran we highlight the Bali 4.3 year 2016 available for charter in low season in Calpe (Alicante) and in high season in Ibiza.

RENT A PREMIUM CATAMARAN
Premium catamarans are those with maximum two years old. More and more our clients are looking for a new boat to enjoy their holidays because they are usually very well equipped boats and in perfect conditions. You can use every year an almost new brand boat even if you don’t buy one!
They usually have a generator and water treatment installed, to spend the week without having to sleep on any port or waste time filling the water tanks. Almost all these catamarans are rented with skipper, although there are some exceptions that, depending on the group and the experience of the skipper, can be rented bareboat.
| We recommend you our Lagoon 450 year 2018 available for rent in Ibiza. This boat has a generator, air conditioning and water treatment installed. |  |

CREWED CATAMARANS FOR CHARTER
If you want to completely relax and forget worries, your best choice will be to rent a crewed catamaran. Crew is normally formed by a captain will be in charge of the ship’s government, disembarking the clients and recommending the best enclaves in the area; and a stewardess, responsible for the daily cleaning of the cabins and common areas and, in addition, she can prepare breakfast and lunch.
For the most demanding, there is also the option of hiring a chef who is responsible for preparing elaborated lunch and dinner on board. On most crewed catamarans, the cook is an extra.
When you charter a crewed catamaran, 20 or 30% of the price will be required as a deposit for possible expenses. That is called APA or Advance Provisioning Allowance. When charter is concluded, the balance will be reimbursed to the client.
Before the charter, you will be asked to fulfil a preference list, so when you embark, all the food and drink that you want will be prepared on board. Crew will also take care of moorings reservations if required, fuel, reservations for restaurants, rent water toys if required or food purchase.
