HOW TO CALCULATE A CATAMARAN HOLIDAY COST
First of all, we want dispel a myth: "holidays with boats are not reserved to VIP" and especially the sailing holidays have low cost, in fact compare to the motor-boats, the fuel consumption is inferior... and having regard to the cost of diesel fuel and the consumption of yacht this is not a thing of nothing...
HOW TO READ THE QUOTE
The quotes indicated on the price list shall indicate the rental of the whole catamaran for a week. Just need to be reduced of the percentage to the days of cruising and need to be divided by the number of participants in the holiday (from 6 to 8).

To recap :
A two days weekend (from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon) for 8 people at Elba island in May would cost to each participant:
Boat: € 4,500 X 35% = € 1,575 \ 8 = €197
SKIPPER: € 150 X 2 = €300 \ 8 = € 38
Final cleaning: € 120 \ 8 = € 15
Bed linens: € 15
For a total of € 265 to add the galley, and fuel and moorings. If you do not expect champagne and caviar but " a good wine and tuscan excellent salami, according to our experience, €30 to head for a week-end will be more sufficient, than adding €15 for fuel and € 15 for the moorings.
In short on balance a cruise for two days with a catamaran, as or less than a wee-end in the hotel to the sea or mountain, less than in a agrituism or in any Cities of Art.
