Ideal for families The Lagoon 38 is a proven family cruiser with four cabins sleeping up to nine, perfect if you're chartering with extended family or friends sharing costs across the Atlantic or from Europe. The catamaran hull gives you excellent stability and shallow draft for exploring quieter anchorages.

Solid practical setup You've got the essentials covered: solar panels and an inverter mean decent power independence, autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, and the lazy bag/jack system keeps mainsail handling relaxed. The bimini provides real shade relief in warm-weather destinations, which matters on a multi-week charter.

Fair value proposition At 2005 vintage with sensible equipment, this boat should offer reasonable weekly rates, you're not paying for cutting-edge, but you're getting a stable, well-sorted platform. The €4,000 deposit is standard for this size and age class.

Single review caveat The operator has only one five-star rating on record, so there's limited track record to assess reliability, turnaround quality, or how they handle issues mid-charter. Before booking, I'd ask ACM directly about their maintenance schedule, backup support contacts, and how many Lagoons they actively manage, peace of mind matters when flying long-haul.

The marina & destination

Based at Hyeres, in Hyeres, France. Manatéa is operated by ACM Catamaran.

Why this is a great starting point

Hyères marina sits at the gateway to the Îles d'Hyères, making it ideal for week-one sailing among the protected anchorages of Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and Levant; these islands lie just 5-10 nautical miles offshore and offer consistent winds from the northwest. From here you can easily reach the Côte d'Azur's eastern reaches, with Bormes-les-Mimosas, Le Lavandou, and Saint-Tropez within a day's sail. The marina's position on the French Riviera provides good road links for crew changes and provisioning stops.

Can Manatéa be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Manatéa 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 Manatéa?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
