Ideal charter choice This 2020 Lagoon 42 catamaran suits groups of 4–6 wanting serious comfort without fuss—though it'll sleep up to 12 if you're packing people in. The relatively new build, solid 4.3-star operator rating, and all-round spec make this a confidence-inspiring pick for both first-time and experienced charterers.

Real standout features The water maker and generator are genuine game-changers for extended cruising, while the teak cockpit, speakers, and cushioned seating transform those sunset anchorages into proper relaxation. Air conditioning throughout, electric toilet, and a coffee maker mean you're not slumming it—this feels like a floating holiday home rather than a boat you tolerate.

Strong value proposition The €4500 deposit is reasonable for a 2020 catamaran in this size bracket, and NSS Charter's rating suggests transparent dealing and well-maintained vessels. For international clients flying into Sint Maarten, the base location is genuinely convenient and English-speaking staff are the norm here.

One honest note A 2020 boat is still relatively new, but do check the exact weekly rate when you enquire—Lagoon 42s at mainstream bases can edge toward premium pricing, so confirm it fits your budget before getting attached to the specs.

The marina & destination

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

Baie De Marigot

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

You can charter Copernicus (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 Copernicus (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.
