About this yacht

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This Lagoon 42 catamaran sleeps up to 12 and offers excellent space for larger parties or extended families wanting to explore the Caribbean together. The four-cabin layout with that capacity makes it genuinely rare value for group charters.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting solid kit here, water maker, generator, air conditioning, autopilot, and a teak cockpit all point to a boat that's been set up for comfort and practical cruising. The 2017 build year means systems are modern but seasoned, which is the sweet spot for reliability.

Reasonable value proposition At this size and spec, the €4,500 deposit is competitive, and NSS Charter's 4.3-star rating across 10 reviews suggests consistent, honest operations. For international clients flying into Sint Maarten, this is a straightforward base with good airport connectivity.

One honest note With 12 potential berths, cabin configurations can vary in comfort, expect some tighter sleeping quarters alongside the larger ones, which is normal for this boat type but worth clarifying with NSS before booking if you have guests who value more personal space.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Fort Louis, in Marigot, St. Martin (French). Benetnash II (SXM) is operated by NSS Charter.

Baie De Marigot

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Fort Louis sits in Marigot's protected harbour and works well as a charter base for exploring the northern Leeward Islands. From here, week 1 typically covers the short reach to Anguilla (16 nm north) and the nearby islands of St. Barts and St. Kitts, with steady trade winds making for reliable beam and broad reach sailing. The marina's position on the French side gives easy access to both French Creole provisioning and the less crowded anchorages around Statia and Saba if you venture southeast.

Frequently asked questions
Can Benetnash II (SXM) be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Benetnash II (SXM) 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 Benetnash II (SXM)?
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.
