SailChecker Expert View

Great family choice This 2020 Lagoon 42 catamaran suits larger groups or families who want space, comfort, and easy handling—12 berths across 4 cabins means minimal compromise on privacy. Catamarans are famously stable and spacious, which is especially valuable if anyone gets seasick or prefers a relaxed pace.

Solid spec sheet You're getting the essentials done well: air conditioning, water maker, generator, and autopilot take the hard work out of longer passages. The teak cockpit and speakers suggest NSS Charter maintains these boats to a decent standard, and a 2020 build means relatively modern systems and fewer surprises.

Deposit feels reasonable At €4,500, the security deposit is fairly standard for a boat this size—roughly 10–12% of a weekly charter cost. The operator's 4.3/5 rating (10 reviews) is respectable; not outstanding, but solid enough that you're unlikely to encounter major issues.

One honest note We don't have the base location listed here, so I can't advise on airport transfer times or how convenient it is for transatlantic travelers—that really matters when you're flying long-haul from the US or elsewhere. Drop us the base and we can tell you if the logistics work for your trip.

Frequently asked questions
Can Copernicus (ANU) be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Copernicus (ANU) 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 Copernicus (ANU)?
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.
