Why rent a catamaran?

If you want to experience the holiday of a lifetime, look no further than a catamaran rental. There’s no better way to enjoy a holiday with family or friends than on board a catamaran. Catamarans are spacious vessels that allow you to discover new places both on land and at sea. There are so many places to see, many of which are only accessible by boat. These luxurious yachts give you the opportunity to see the wonders of the open ocean. Catamarans are double-hulled, providing passengers with more stability and making sailing possible for all types of people, even those who are prone to seasickness!

Nautal offers a wide range of catamaran rentals in top sailing destinations all over the world like Miami, Cabo San Lucas, Mallorca and Phuket. What are you waiting for? Rent a catamaran for an unforgettable holiday that the whole family can enjoy.

What is the cost of a catamaran rental?

The cost of catamaran rentals varies based on a number of factors such as the size and type of catamaran you choose, the time of year you’re sailing, how many people are on board and the destination where you’re renting. The amenities on board can also affect the price and if you’re renting a skippered catamaran it will typically be more expensive than a bareboat charter. Generally speaking, you can charter a catamaran in most destinations starting from €150 per day or €1,050 per week.

For example, a catamaran charter in Florida costs about €14,425 per week in the high season and €5,030 per week in the low season.

What are the best destinations to charter a catamaran?

Want to see new and exciting places? There’s no better way to do so than with a catamaran rental. Catamarans offer you access to some of the most beautiful places in the world decorated with secluded beaches and crystalline waters.

In Europe, some of the most popular places to rent a  catamaran include Spain (Ibiza, Barcelona), Italy (Amalfi Coast), Greece (Athens) and Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split).

What should I consider when renting a catamaran?

Catamarans have a very unique structure when compared to other vessels. They have two hulls which are connected to a single, central platform. Because of this, they are generally more stable on the water since they allow for flat sailing, and the sail areas with a catamaran are not as reduced as with other vessels, even when the wind speeds pick up.

Catamarans have four levels: cabins, piloting and trampoline, saloon and the cockpit from which the navigation is done.

What is included in the cost of a catamaran charter and what additional expenses can I expect?

All catamaran rentals are different and include a host  of amenities on board, which contribute to the price. Generally speaking, more luxurious brands that include amenities such as water sport equipment like snorkels or paddleboards and an onboard skipper or crew are typically more expensive than other charters. However, even if your catamaran rental doesn’t include these accommodations, oftentimes you can purchase these amenities at an extra cost.

In addition to the cost of the rental, owners might ask for a deposit which would need to be paid at check-in. Additional costs might include insurance, refuelling and final cleaning costs. For any doubts about additional costs and what is included, be sure to ask the boat owner as this tends to vary!
