SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families and groups The Lagoon 42 is a spacious catamaran perfect for larger parties or families wanting stability and comfort over a week's sailing. With four cabins sleeping eight, you've got flexibility in how you share the space, and the shallow draft means easier access to shallow anchorages.

Standout comfort features A water maker onboard is genuinely useful on longer charters, and the Wi-Fi keeps you connected if needed. The wide, stable platform typical of catamarans means less motion and easier movement around deck, especially valuable if anyone in your group is prone to seasickness or has mobility concerns.

Strong value proposition For a brand-new 2025 catamaran with four cabins and a modest €1500 deposit, this represents reasonable value if the weekly rate sits in the expected range for this class. The included dinghy and paddle equipment add practical value without surprises.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in your listing, so do confirm airport proximity and whether Tropical Winter arranges transfers, that matters significantly when you're flying long-haul from the UK or US. Also confirm fuel costs, as catamarans can be thirsty in motoring conditions.

The marina & destination

Based at IGY Simpson Bay Marina, in St. Maarten - Philipsburg, Netherlands Antilles. Odissea is operated by Tropical Winter.

Why this is a great starting point

Simpson Bay Marina is well-positioned for exploring the northern Leeward Islands, with Anguilla, St. Barts, and St. Kitts all within comfortable day-sail distances. Week 1 typically takes you through steady easterly trades to these islands' lee shores, offering protected anchorages and consistent conditions ideal for first-time charter clients in the Caribbean. The marina's central location makes it equally suited for southbound charters toward the Grenadines or northbound routes toward the Virgin Islands.

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