HOUBARA Yacht Description
-
Jet Ski (standup):
Add high-energy water time between anchorages, with easy thrills for confident riders. -
Deck jacuzzi:
Soak with sea views and a drink in hand after a swim or sunset sail. -
Wing-foil & surf-foil:
Try the latest foil sports for a fresh challenge beyond classic waterski and wakeboard sessions.
Mezzanine, not gimmick. HOUBARA is a 78ft/24m Sunreef sailing catamaran (built 2012, refit 2024) that uses her double-deck layout well, including a smart mezzanine lounge with an open bar so the pre-dinner crowd is not parked in the galley.
Outdoor living works. The cockpit is set up for proper meals with a dining table for up to 8, plus plenty of deck space for lounging and sunbathing. Short version: no one needs to “take a shift” to get a good seat.
Cabins with perks. She sleeps 6 guests in 3 en-suite cabins: a master with a jacuzzi, a queen cabin, and a twin that converts to a double with an additional Pullman bed. Big windows help with the “catamaran cave” problem. Done.
Watersports are covered. Bring the energy: Jet Ski (standup), wakeboard, water skis, paddleboards, donut/towable, snorkeling gear, and scuba diving equipment, plus a 5.5m Zodiac tender for runs ashore and general plot advancement.

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 HOUBARA, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€6,800 - €11,900), making the charter cost €40,800 to €45,900. 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.
