All 12 catamaran prices in the table include a captain. None of them states whether fuel is included, so confirm fuel, deposit and cleaning terms with the operator before booking.
Tips for the captain and crew are generally extra and customary. Tipping guides put the captain’s tip at 10–20% of the charter fee; on week charters, crew tips are paid separately from any advance provisioning allowance (APA).

Consult the table above for each place. Use the calculator to compare other durations or group sizes.
Catamarans may be expensive per person if your group is small, because the published charters are priced per boat and include a captain. A smaller boat might cost less for a few guests.
They are the wrong pick if you want to operate the boat yourself: every catamaran price in the table includes a captain. Ask the operator whether a bareboat option exists.
If you need a rental under 2 hours or a boat you drive yourself, a pontoon or a smaller motorboat may fit better, depending on local offerings.
