Great for groups. With 6 cabins and 10 berths, this 2019 Lagoon 40 is ideal if you're bringing family or friends, everyone gets their own sleeping space without feeling cramped. Catamarans are naturally spacious and stable, so even less experienced sailors appreciate the comfort.

Smart catamaran choice. The bow thruster makes tight anchorages and marina entries much easier to manage, while the autopilot, chart plotter, and lazy bag system mean you can actually relax rather than wrestling with sails all day. That teak deck and swimming platform are lovely touches for Mediterranean or Caribbean cruising. The dinghy and outboard handle shore excursions painlessly.

Fair value proposition. A €6,000 deposit on a modern 40-footer is reasonable, and SAILOÉ's 4.5-star rating (from 4 reviews) suggests decent service standards, though the sample size is small. For a group of 8, 10 splitting costs, this works out well against booking multiple smaller boats.

One practical note: Make sure you confirm the charter base location with SAILOÉ directly, as it's not listed here. That'll affect your flight routing and transfer time from the airport, crucial for long-haul travellers timing tight connections.

The marina & destination

Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Cotopaxi is operated by SAILOÉ.

Why this is a great starting point

Eden Island Marina in Victoria is the primary charter base in the Seychelles, positioned perfectly for exploring the inner islands of the Mahe group. Week 1 typically involves gentle sailing to nearby islands such as Praslin and La Digue, with consistent trade winds and short passages of 15-30 nautical miles that suit both experienced sailors and those acclimatising after long-haul travel. The protected anchorages around these islands offer good holding and predictable conditions, making this an ideal base for building confidence before considering longer passages to the outer islands.

Can Cotopaxi be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Cotopaxi 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 Cotopaxi?

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.
