A/C, Watermaker, Inverter, Generator

Perfect for groups This 2020 Lagoon 42 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long adventure. The spacious twin-hull design gives you far more living space than a comparable monohull, which matters when you're all aboard for a week.

Well-equipped vessel You've got the essentials covered: water maker (critical for longer passages), air conditioning, autopilot, and a generator for creature comforts. The teak cockpit and speakers suggest this boat is set up for relaxed entertaining, while the chart plotter and dinghy handle navigation and water excursions smoothly.

Solid value proposition At a €4500 deposit, the pricing sits in the mid-range for a four-cabin catamaran of this calibre, competitive without being a bargain-basement option. The 4.3/5 rating from NSS Charter backs up the boat's condition and service quality.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so check NSS Charter's website to confirm flight connections and transfer times from major European or US hubs, this matters when coordinating international crew arrivals.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Bas-du-Fort, in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Copernicus (PTP) is operated by NSS Charter.

Rte du Bas du Fort

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Bas-du-Fort sits in a protected bay with good holding and lies conveniently close to Pointe-à-Pitre's airport, making it an efficient arrival point after long-haul travel. From here, week 1 typically involves cruising the Saintes archipelago to the south (Les Saintes, Terre-de-Bas) or island-hopping north towards Desharaies and the Pitons du Carbet, with reliable trade winds offering consistent beam and broad reaches. The marina itself provides full provisioning, fuel, and mechanics, though anchor-outs and smaller moorings in nearby bays offer better holding for overnight stops.

Can Copernicus (PTP) be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Copernicus (PTP) 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 (PTP)?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
