SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples Love A Fayre is an excellent choice if you're two couples or a small family wanting modern comfort without bulk. The 2020 Astréa 42 catamaran offers stability and space that monohulls can't match, with three cabins spread across a 12.6m hull, ideal for privacy on a week-long charter.

Well-equipped cruiser This boat ticks all the boxes for contemporary sailing: solar panels and a generator mean you're energy-independent, air conditioning keeps you cool in warm destinations, and thoughtful touches like cockpit speakers and snorkeling gear show the owner understands what makes a holiday enjoyable. Wi-Fi and an inverter let you stay connected if needed.

Strong value proposition At €5,949 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, you're getting a newer catamaran with serious creature comforts at a reasonable rate. The 5-star operator rating (albeit from limited reviews) is encouraging, and Conch Charters' management suggests reliable, professional service.

One practical note We don't have the base location listed here, so before booking, confirm the departure port's proximity to your nearest international airport, charter costs are only part of the equation when you're flying from North America or mainland Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at Fort Burt Marina, in Road Town, British Virgin Islands. Love A Fayre is operated by Conch Charters.

Waterfront drive

Why this is a great starting point

Fort Burt Marina sits in Road Town's protected harbour, offering straightforward access to the Sir Francis Drake Channel and the smaller islands of the BVI archipelago. Week 1 charters typically explore Tortola's south coast, the Fallen Jerusalem anchorages, and reach across to Virgin Gorda within easy day-sail distances; consistent easterly trades make passages short and reliable. The marina's central location means you avoid lengthy motoring on arrival and can begin cruising immediately after provisioning.
