Perfect for groups This 2024 Lagoon 42 catamaran sleeps up to 12 guests across four cabins, making it ideal for family flotillas or friend groups who want to share costs and experiences. The dual-hull design means excellent stability and spacious deck areas, great for larger parties who actually want to relax together rather than feeling cramped.

Well-equipped modern cat You're getting a nearly-new boat with genuinely useful kit: water maker (crucial for longer charters in warm climates), air conditioning, autopilot, and quality cockpit speakers for evening sundowners. The teak cockpit and generous cushioned seating suggest NSS takes presentation seriously, and the chart plotter covers navigation essentials.

Solid value proposition At €3,500 deposit with NSS Charter's respectable 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews, this feels like a dependable choice for a catamaran of this age and size. The operator appears experienced and responsive, though the review pool is modest, worth checking recent feedback before committing.

Base location missing The charter base isn't listed in your data, which matters significantly for international clients arranging flights and transfers. Contact NSS directly to confirm the location, Mediterranean bases offer easier connections from major hubs, while Caribbean options require longer hauls from Europe or the US.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Portorosa, in Furnari, Italy. Proxima Centauri is operated by NSS Charter.

Via Prestipaolo 7

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Portorosa sits on Sicily's north coast and offers immediate access to the Aeolian Islands, all reachable within a day's sail. Week 1 typically takes you through Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with consistent northwesterly winds making the return journey straightforward. The shallow, protected waters around the archipelago suit various boat sizes, and you can easily explore volcanic anchorages and small harbours before heading further east towards Messina Strait or west to Cefalù.

Can Proxima Centauri be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Proxima Centauri 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 Proxima Centauri?

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.
