What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2023 Lagoon 42 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together. The dual-hull design offers excellent stability and generous deck space, a real advantage if you're flying long-haul to reach the base and want maximum comfort once you arrive.
Well-equipped modern cat You're getting a genuinely new boat with solid amenities: air conditioning, water maker, electric toilet, autopilot, and a chart plotter all come standard. The teak cockpit and speakers suggest NSS Charter maintains their fleet to a decent standard, which matters when you're investing time and money to get there.
Reasonable value proposition At €3,500 deposit, the pricing appears competitive for a four-cabin catamaran of this size and vintage. Catamarans typically cost more than monohulls, but you're paying for the extra space and stability, worth considering if your group values comfort over performance sailing.
One thing to note NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating is solid but modest, check recent reviews specifically about this base location and boat condition before committing. It's worth a quick email to confirm current availability and ask about the exact provisioning or fuel policies, since those details aren't listed here.
