HOUBARA Yacht Description

Introduced by DMA Yachting, the impressive charter yacht HOUBARA is a 78 ft sailing catamaran featuring a jetski. The key elements of HOUBARA are her most appealing features and experienced crew. HOUBARA spends the season in the Bahamas. She was completed by recognized shipbuilder Sunreef Yachts in 2012. A well-done refit was finalized in 2026. The expansive yacht layout features 3 large cabins and easily accommodates a maximum of 7 guests.

HOUBARA is introduced primarily as a sailing catamaran. The the heart of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is where heart of the yacht is and that's where most of the delicious meals are served. The immersive cabins offer designer mattrace beds and feature ensuite bathrooms. The cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant. Multiple portholes provide a connection with the natural world outside.

The sailboat features 2x330HP Diesels engines .

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.

Dear Captain and Crew,
We have spent 4 nights with you and every moment has been a pleasure for us. We have also celebrated our friend Aydan’s birthday and enjoyed that a lot. Also, a special thanks to the Chef who has cooked and prepared delicious food for us. Life is short, the world is small, hope to meet you and be your guest again.
