SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This 2025 Lagoon 38 catamaran suits families and small groups looking for comfort and space without complexity. The four cabins sleep up to 10, making it excellent value for splitting costs across multiple couples or a multi-generational crew.

Standout features You're getting a brand-new build with modern essentials: autopilot for easy sailing, a chart plotter for navigation, dual refrigeration (practical for longer charters), and a bimini for shade, all the day-to-day comfort boxes ticked. Catamarans like this offer exceptional stability and shallow draft, perfect if you're exploring shallow anchorages.

Solid value proposition At €4,000 deposit with SAILOÉ's solid 4.5/5 rating, this feels fairly priced for a new-build cat of this size. You're paying for reliability and a hassle-free experience rather than cutting-edge luxury, which suits most international charters well.

Worth noting The operator's review count is relatively small (just 4), so while the rating is positive, there's limited feedback history to dig into. If you like detailed guest reviews before committing, ask SAILOÉ directly for references or specific feedback on provisioning, handover procedures, and support quality.

Frequently asked questions
Can DOUDOU be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter DOUDOU bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter DOUDOU?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
