Perfect for families The Lagoon 380 is a spacious catamaran that suits groups or families wanting comfort without complexity. Four cabins sleeping eight make it ideal for couples travelling together, and the stable twin-hull design means less motion for anyone prone to seasickness.

Well-equipped for exploration You're getting solid kit here, solar panels keep power costs down during longer charters, snorkeling gear is ready to go, and the modern chart plotter takes the guesswork out of navigation. The bimini and cockpit cushions mean you'll actually want to spend time on deck in tropical Caribbean heat.

Strong value proposition At €1,980 per week from Star Voyage Antilles, this 2020 catamaran undercuts many comparable vessels, and the €4,500 deposit is reasonable. For a newer boat with this layout and equipment package, you're getting genuine bang for money.

Small operator caveat Star Voyage Antilles has only two reviews on file, so it's harder to gauge consistency with provisioning, turnovers, and support compared to larger brokers. If you book, I'd recommend asking directly about their handover process and English-speaking support, standard practice, but worth confirming given the limited track record.

Cancellation

Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).
