I was onboard CARTOUCHE in Sanremo, Italy earlier this year, and she truly stands out. She charters in the Mediterranean during the summer and the Caribbean in the winter, and has built a strong reputation with an impressive track record of happy clients.
At 95 feet, CARTOUCHE is one of the largest catamaran available for charter in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, offering exceptional space and comfort. What really makes her such a great value is the price point—chartering at around $70K, she delivers far more yacht than smaller options. That’s significantly more yacht than many 80ft Sunreefs chartering in a much higher bracket ($90K–$100K).
Although built in 2011, CARTOUCHE was refitted just 2 years ago, so she feels fresh and updated. Her flybridge is a highlight – spacious with a Jacuzzi in a setup you’d usually expect on a motor yacht. Up front, the foredeck trampolines include a swim ladder that lowers right into the water – super convenient and a standout detail. She's also an excellent performer under sail, making her a fantastic choice for guests who want a true sailing experience, not just a floating villa.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like CARTOUCHE, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price ($14,000 - $24,500), making the charter cost $84,000 to $94,500. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Reviews
All went very well aboard Cartouche. It was a pleasure working with Charles. My client loved the crew and the yacht. This is his feedback:
Everything went very well. My brother Peter, who was turning 70, was thrilled!
The crew behaved wonderfully; they looked after them exceptionally well and very professionally.
Thank you very much for all your help in organizing this charter!
A total success!
Delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners "the best" Enjoyed every island - simply beautiful views evry day!!! Will remember this special trip with family + close friends forever! A & J GRAZIE MILLE PER TUTII ! V, M & D
"I heard from C. yesterday, and she expressed that they had the most phenomenal time onboard Cartouche and that you and your crew were beyond exceptional.
She couldn't be happier. That said, I had a feeling they would become repeats, even before they stepped onboard, as both the yacht's reputation and your reputation precede you.
I can not thank you enough for delivering such an incredible holiday!"
Great crew too. Clients were delighted with their experience.
Captain Charles is young, dynamic and did everything to make the cruise perfect.
The clients had come down from a 50m the week before and didn't notice any difference, so good was the service and atmosphere on board.
They left the crew a very good tip to congratulate them.
Each morning he checked in and asked for our feedback about the day ahead.
He was well informed and made adjustments as need with the weather conditions.
He was a pleasure to be around. His leadership and the work he put in with the rest of the crew to keep the boat in top order and spotless each day was tireless. Amazing job!
We have chartered in the past and hands down this crew is top notch.
They worked well together and went above all of our expectations and managed to do it with a smile each day!
Chef Max was amazing and each day surprised us with exception food and drinks!
Most memorable and can't wait to do it again!
Thank you very much for a successful charter!
They want to book for next year.
this cruise is best I ever say .... they are so nice people, food was outstanding, amazing all of them were great... I want to thank you so much, my sister had a trip she will never forget.
If I would have to give evaluation from 1 lower to 10 the max .....
I would give them a 15
Amazing they really make you feel at home.
A tous les niveaux, il n’y a rien à dire. Vraiment une prestation exceptionnelle. On remercie tout le monde et à une prochaine fois pour les îles vierges 👌👌 »
The trip went very well. The crew was very attentive and responsive to our needs, and we didn't even have to ask them for anything.
In every respect, there was nothing to say. Truly an exceptional service. We thank everyone and see you next time for the Virgin Islands 👌👌 "
Dear Jao,
We are about to check out in Corfu as planned.
Everything went fine and the crew is really outstanding.
The whole group was amazed by their sympathy and their commitment to provide us with the best service.
We really appreciate. As a token of our appreciation, I have informed the captain that we are willing to give, €XXXX as tip.
Please let me know the bank information so that I can order the wire transfer immediately.
I also take this opportunity to thank you very much for your guidance on this wonderful trip.
Best!
