Luxury crewed catamaran charter · sailing only
Luxury sailing catamarans, crewed. The whole yacht, the whole week.
Sixty-five to eighty feet, with a captain, a chef and crew of their own. You take the whole boat for the week and I plan it with you — Sardinia, Greece, Croatia, Turkey and Sicily in summer, the Caribbean in winter, or as far as the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific.
Naveo charters luxury sailing catamarans with their own crew: five models from twenty to twenty-four metres, eight to ten guests, every cabin ensuite, a captain, chef and crew of three or four aboard. From €35,000 the week, plus running costs. Between them there are 81 boats in charter around the world.
Sunreef
Sunreef 80
The one most people picture.
Three decks, 340 square metres, and a flybridge with a jacuzzi and an open-air cinema on it. Most are solar-electric, which means the generators stay off at anchor and you hear the water instead. It is the boat this whole category is measured against.
26 of this model are in crewed charter worldwide — which is the real reason a week can be found.

from €79,000 the week
With the advance provisioning allowance on top, expect €100,000 all in, before VAT and the gratuity.
What the week really costs
The weekly fee is the yacht’s own rate and it is identical whether you come through me or anywhere else — my fee comes from the yacht, not from you. On top of it sits the advance provisioning allowance: fuel, food, drinks, marina fees and taxes, run as a running account by the captain and settled against real receipts at the end of the week. It is typically 25–30% of the fee, which is why every boat here shows an all-in figure as well as a headline one. VAT and the customary gratuity are separate again. Nothing is committed until you have the real numbers in writing.
On the toys
Toys belong to the hull, not the model, and crews change them between seasons. Tell me what your week needs and I confirm exactly what is aboard the one I propose.
How it works
What changes at this size — and what does not.
The whole yacht
One boat, one group, Saturday to Saturday. Nothing aboard is shared with anyone you did not bring.
A crew of her own
Captain, chef and crew come with the yacht and live in their own quarters. I plan the week with you — the route, the table, the pace — and the crew runs the boat.
One price, however you book
The fee is the yacht’s own rate and it is identical whether you come through me or anywhere else. My fee comes from the yacht, so the planning costs you nothing extra.
Good to know
The questions people ask first.
How much does a large sailing catamaran cost to charter for a week?
The fee runs from €35,000 the week for a Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67 with eight guests up to around €79,000 for a Sunreef 80 with ten. That is the whole boat, with her captain, chef and crew. The advance provisioning allowance sits on top — fuel, food, drinks, marina fees and taxes — at typically 25–30% of the fee, which in practice means about €45,000 all in at the bottom and about €100,000 at the top. VAT and the customary gratuity are separate again. The fee itself is the yacht’s own rate: the same whether you book through Naveo or anywhere else.
What is the advance provisioning allowance, and why is the real price higher than the headline?
The weekly fee buys the boat and her crew. Everything you actually consume during the week — fuel, food, wine, marina and harbour fees, local taxes — is paid from a running account called the advance provisioning allowance, which you put up front and the captain spends against real receipts. Anything unspent comes back to you. It is normally 25–30% of the fee, so a €35,000 week is realistically a €45,000 week. We show both figures on every boat because a headline rate on its own is not the price.
How many guests can these catamarans take?
Eight to ten, depending on the boat. An Alegria 67, a Sunreef 70 or a Lagoon Seventy 7 sleeps eight in four cabins; a Sunreef 80 or a Thira 80 sleeps ten in five. Every guest cabin is ensuite and the crew have their own quarters.
Are these sailing catamarans or power catamarans?
Sailing, all of them. It matters more than it sounds: several of the best-known large catamarans are power boats wearing a similar name — the Lagoon Seventy 8, the Lagoon Sixty 7, the Fountaine Pajot Power 80 and the Sunreef Ultima 88 are all motor yachts. None of them are on this page.
Where in the world can these boats sail?
Further than most people assume. The Mediterranean through the summer — Sardinia and Corsica, the Riviera, Greece, Croatia, Turkey — and the Caribbean from December. Beyond that, individual boats in these fleets work Thailand, Dubai, the Seychelles, the Indian Ocean, French Polynesia, Australia and New Zealand. The six journeys Naveo plans in detail are Mediterranean and Caribbean; if your week belongs somewhere else, ask.
Who runs the boat, and who plans the week?
The yacht comes with her own captain, chef and crew. Vincent plans the week with you — the route, the anchorages, the table — and hands it to the crew to run.
Why is the yacht not named on this page?
Because you are choosing a week, not a hull. We list the boats by what they are — size, cabins, crew, what is aboard — and name the yacht in your proposal once we know your dates and your people.
How likely is it that one is free for my dates?
Better than most people expect. These are models, not single boats: there are twenty-six Sunreef 80s, twenty-two Alegria 67s, fourteen Lagoon Seventy 7s and twelve Sunreef 70s in crewed charter around the world. Tell us the week and we look across all of them.
Where they sail
The same six journeys — and further, if you want it.
These are the weeks I know well enough to plan hour by hour. The boats themselves range wider — the Caribbean through the winter, and hulls working the Indian Ocean, Thailand and the South Pacific. If your week belongs somewhere else, ask.
Ask Vincent
Tell me about your people. I will tell you the boat.
How many of you, which month, and what the week is for. That is enough to start. Availability and a real price — fee and running costs, both — come back within a day.
