SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2024 Lagoon 42 catamaran really shines if you're chartering with extended family or friends, six cabins and ten berths give you genuine flexibility without feeling cramped. The modern build year and solid equipment spec (water maker, autopilot, twin chart plotters) mean fewer surprises mid-charter.
Smart modern touches Solar panels and a water maker are genuinely useful on longer passages, and the lazy jack system takes the grunt out of sail handling, especially valuable if your crew isn't racing-fit. Teak decking and a bimini complete a comfortable, well-thought-out cruising platform that won't feel spartan after a few days.
Competitive pricing At €4,800 per week, you're looking at roughly €480 per person for a ten-berth charter, which is very reasonable for a brand-new catamaran with this much equipment. The €8,000 deposit is standard for modern fleet catamarans.
One gentle caution SAILOÉ's operator rating is solid at 4.5/5, but the sample size is only four reviews, so do reach out directly about their check-in procedures, local support, and fuel/provisioning protocols before committing, especially if you're flying long-haul to the base.

The marina & destination
Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Booby is operated by SAILOÉ.
Eden Island Marina in Victoria is the primary charter base in the Seychelles, positioned perfectly for exploring the inner islands of the Mahe group. Week 1 typically involves gentle sailing to nearby islands such as Praslin and La Digue, with consistent trade winds and short passages of 15-30 nautical miles that suit both experienced sailors and those acclimatising after long-haul travel. The protected anchorages around these islands offer good holding and predictable conditions, making this an ideal base for building confidence before considering longer passages to the outer islands.
