About this yacht

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. With 12 berths across 4 cabins, Bollicina is ideal for larger families or friend groups wanting to split costs, especially valuable when you're flying in from the US or Europe for a week-long adventure.

Well-equipped modern cat. The 2024 Lagoon 42 comes with genuine comfort features: air conditioning, a water maker for extended cruising, solar panels, and a generator mean you won't rough it. The teak cockpit and built-in speakers add a touch of style for evening anchorages.

Solid value proposition. At this cabin count and with a new-build spec, the pricing sits fairly in the mid-range for Mediterranean or Caribbean charters. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable, and NSS Charter's 4.3-star rating suggests reliable service, though the modest review volume (10) means less historical data than some operators.

One realistic note: Catamarans this size with 12 berths do mean tighter cabin spaces, so manage expectations if your group values privacy. Before booking, confirm the exact location of the charter base and check flight connections, you'll want to factor in transfer time from your nearest international airport.

The marina & destination

Based at Cala dei Sardi, in Portisco, Italy. Bollicina is operated by NSS Charter.

Strada Provinciale per Porto Cervo

Why this is a great starting point

Cala dei Sardi in Portisco sits on the north coast of Sardinia, offering direct access to the sheltered waters and granite islands of the Costa Smeralda and Maddalena archipelago. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping between Caprera, Budelli, and Spargi, with steady northwesterly winds providing reliable sailing conditions for the 15-25 nautical mile passages. The marina serves as an ideal base for cruisers wanting to explore some of the Mediterranean's clearest waters without committing to longer offshore passages.

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