About this yacht
New Solar Panels March 2025
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2017 Lagoon 42 catamaran is ideal if you're chartering with family or friends, four cabins and ten berths give you serious flexibility without feeling cramped. The dual-hull design means excellent stability and spacious deck living, which most groups love.
Well-equipped vessel You're getting solid kit here: electric winches take the physical strain out of sail handling, solar panels help reduce fuel costs, and essentials like GPS chart plotter, dinghy, and a bimini for sun protection are all included. It's practical rather than flashy, but that's honest catamaran cruising.
Mixed operator track record VPM Bestsail's 3.8/5 rating from four reviews suggests decent but inconsistent service, not terrible, but worth asking specific questions about their pre-charter communication and maintenance standards before you commit. A few more reviews would give clearer confidence.
Reasonable deposit value At €7,000, the security deposit is standard for this boat class and era. The yacht itself is a workhorse design that should deliver solid value, though you'll want to confirm the exact charter rate and whether fuel, provisioning, or skipper costs are extra before booking.

The marina & destination
Based at Marina Bas-du-Fort, in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Tidre is operated by VPM Bestsail - EIS Finance SARL.
Rte du Bas du Fort
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.
