SailChecker Expert View

Great for groups This Lagoon 42 catamaran suits families or friend groups of 6–10 people who want plenty of space without breaking the bank. The six cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own sleeping area, which is rare at this price point.

Solid modern catamaran You're looking at a 2020 build with navigation essentials covered—autopilot, chart plotter, and a dinghy with outboard for exploring anchorages. The bimini provides shade, and the galley refrigerator handles provisioning for longer trips, though the radio-CD player feels like a nice-to-have rather than a standout feature.

Excellent value proposition At €4,000 per week, this works out to roughly €400 per person for a group of ten—genuinely competitive for a modern catamaran with this cabin count. The 4.5-star operator rating across four reviews suggests solid maintenance and reliable service.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in your data, so confirm where this yacht operates before booking—international flights and transfers vary enormously depending on whether you're heading to the Mediterranean, Caribbean, or elsewhere. That detail matters for your total journey time from the UK or US.

Frequently asked questions
Can Alphonse be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Alphonse 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 Alphonse?
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.
