About this yacht
A/C, Watermaker, Inverter, Generator
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families. The Lagoon 42 catamaran suits groups of up to 12 who want stability and space, catamarans excel in gentle conditions and anchor-out exploration, making this a natural pick for mixed-age crews or first-time charterers seeking comfort over performance.

Well-equipped vessel. You're getting solid kit here: water maker and generator mean genuine independence, air conditioning and electric toilets add real convenience, and the teak cockpit with speakers creates a proper social hub. The 2017 build age is respectable for this popular model.

Fair value proposition. At €4,500 deposit with a 4.3/5 operator rating (10 reviews), NSS Charter appears straightforward, decent feedback suggests no major red flags. The gear list covers essentials well, though pricing context matters; compare against other 4-cabin catamarans in the same region to confirm competitive rates.

One practical note: You'll want to confirm the charter base location upfront (it's not listed in your data), as international transfer times and airport connections vary wildly by region. Ask NSS directly about ground logistics from your nearest major airport, that often makes or breaks a long-haul charter experience.

The marina & destination

Based at Nelson's Dockyard, in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. Benetnash II (ANU) is operated by NSS Charter.

Dockyard Drive

Why this is a great starting point

Nelson's Dockyard is Antigua's primary yacht base and sits perfectly for exploring the Leeward Islands; week one typically involves easy downwind passages to Montserrat, Guadeloupe, or the nearby Grenadines with consistent trade winds pushing you south. The protected anchorages around Antigua itself offer several sheltered bays for shorter days, making it ideal for crews adjusting to boat handling after long flights. From here you can work south through the volcanic peaks and reef systems of the Lesser Antilles, or north towards Barbuda and St. Kitts depending on your preferred pace and wind conditions.
