SailChecker Expert View

Who It Suits This 2017 Lagoon 42 catamaran is ideal for families or small groups of 6, 10 people looking for comfortable, stable cruising without a steep learning curve. The four-cabin layout and dual-hull design make it forgiving for mixed experience levels, and the spacious cockpit means everyone stays connected while sailing.

Standout Features You get genuine modern conveniences here: electric winches take the grunt work out of sail handling, a chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward, and the bimini plus cockpit cushions mean shade and comfort during those long anchorage days. The dinghy is included, which saves you hire fees when exploring smaller islands or reefs.

Value Assessment At this spec and age, the €7,000 deposit suggests reasonable daily rates for a 12.8m catamaran with four cabins. The operator's 3.8/5 rating is mixed, not a red flag, but worth scanning those reviews to understand whether issues were service, maintenance, or guest-related before you commit.

One Thing to Note The operator's location isn't listed in your data, so confirm the charter base before booking, you'll want to factor in airport transfer time and whether you're flying through a major European hub to reach it. Check the reviews specifically for any mentions of turnaround logistics or last-minute surprises.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Bas-du-Fort, in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Tigra is operated by VPM Bestsail - EIS Finance SARL.

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.

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