How are the passenger capacities calculated on catamarans? / Upon what depends the capacity on-board of a catamaran?

Catamarans are all approved for a specific number of passengers. The number of passengers specified in our brochures must include your guests, your companions, your service providers such as the caterer, staff, DJ, photographer, etc … The crew is not to be deduced from the mentioned capacity. As professional and commercial vessels, our fleet undergoes annual inspections and have all the necessary and mandatory safety equipment on board. If the boat has as many lifejackets on board as certified number of passengers, it is not mandatory to wear them. They remain at your disposal in case of need.

Can I bring my personal food and drinks on-board?

Some boats offer BBQ buffets which are prepared by the crew, but you remain free to contact the caterer of your choice or bring your own supplies directly on-board. No corkage fee or service fee is applied. The boats’ furniture such as tables & chairs and kitchen & refrigerators are at your disposal as well as the crew who remains at your service during your cruise. It is however necessary that you bring your own crockery, napkins, tablecloths and any other element you may need.

What are the charter hours?

The catamaran does not offer a rate per hour or a half-day rental. Each boat is at your disposal with its crew for a charter period of 8 hours. You can follow your own schedule according to your cruising program with a time limit at midnight. Want to extend the party? Some boats offer optional extra hour rentals until 2am, which are subject to the vessel’s reservation schedule on the following day.

What are the additional costs?

Arthaud Yachting sends you a quote without surprises. The daily rate includes delivery costs to the requested departure location and fuel consumption for the entire cruise. Harbor taxes and catering options are also detailed in our proposals.

What should I expect for the day?

In order to have a pleasant cruise we advise you to bring your usual beach bag containing bathing suit, beach towel and sun cream. All our catamarans are equipped with a sound system which allows you to connect your devises and enjoy your playlists. Regarding the water toys on-board, some boats offer snorkeling equipment in order to explore the surroundings, but you are free to bring your own nautical equipment. It is requested to take off your shoes upon your arrival on-board.

Can I invite people with special needs on-board?

Pets are not allowed on-board.Children are welcome on-board and remain under parent’s full responsibility and supervision during their stay on-board the catamaran. Parents must bring all the necessary safety equipment such as water wings, booster seats, baby meals, etc.Recently built catamarans are approved for people with reduced mobility but will be also depend on the chosen itinerary and place of embarkation/ disembarkation.The catamarans are particularly stable and offer a large living space and many seating areas. There is also a shaded seating area which is very pleasant for our seniors.Crew BBQ’s and buffets are very well thought in order to please everyone. Enjoy some fresh and diverse products.

We hired a Catamaran for a works evening cruise, departing from and returning to La Ciotat. Meeting the vessel was very easy as we had been provided with clear details and a WhatsApp group had also been set up. Captain Alice and her crew of 2 looked after us admirably; we had booked the dinner buffet menu with additional pissaladiere and pizza, which was thoroughly enjoyed. We also purchased the Soft Drinks / Wine / Beer package that was good value.

Thoroughly recommend Arthaud Yachting who provided a first class service to us; we had never done this sort of event before and we were guided through it with great efficiency.

I had the pleasure of working with Gabriele from Arthaud Yachting to arrange a yacht in St. Tropez, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was extremely helpful and patient, taking the time to explain the different yacht options in detail to make sure everything perfectly fit my needs. Gabrielle also went above and beyond in organizing a fantastic itinerary, suggesting the best places to visit and making the entire experience seamless. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made the process enjoyable from start to finish. Truly outstanding service!

Nous avons fait appel pour la 2ème fois à ARTHAUD YACHTING pour notre traditionnel summer party en entreprise et une fois de plus nous n'avons pas été déçus ! Jeff s'est toujours montré très réactif par email, voire rassurant sur la météo qui aurait pu nous jouer des tours ! Notre catamaran avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin à bord avec un capitaine et ses membres d'équipage aux petits soins. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr ! Encore un immense merci, nous avons passé de chouettes moments entre collègues et à l'année prochaine ! La Team Z
