Perfect for families This 2018 Lagoon 42 catamaran suits groups and families who want space, comfort, and easy sailing. The 10-berth capacity and four cabins mean you can accommodate extended crews without feeling cramped, a real asset for multi-generational holidays.

Solid comfort features Solar panels, electric winches, and a well-equipped cockpit with cushions and bimini top show thoughtful provisioning for extended cruising. The inclusion of a dinghy, chart plotter, and radio-CD player covers the essentials for bareboat independence and entertainment.

Reasonable value proposition At this size and age (2018 build), the €7000 deposit is fair, and the catamaran hull design delivers excellent stability and shallow-draft capability, ideal if you're exploring varying seabed conditions across different charter regions.

Worth noting upfront The operator rating of 3.8/5 from just four reviews is modest, so ask specifically about their turnaround procedures, support responsiveness, and any recent feedback before committing. Given you're likely flying in internationally, confirm how quickly they respond to pre-departure questions and what their protocol is for international transfers from the airport.

The marina & destination

Based at Le Marin, in Martinique, Martinique. Uiara is operated by VPM Bestsail - EIS Finance SARL.

Why this is a great starting point

Le Marin sits on Martinique's south coast and serves as the perfect launch point for exploring the southern Caribbean's best-protected anchorages; you can reach Diamond Rock, the Grenadines, and St. Lucia's pitons within 2-3 days of sailing. The trade winds blow consistently from the east, making week one ideal for island-hopping down to Bequia and Mustique before stronger winds develop mid-week. The marina itself offers good facilities and provisioning, with most charter yachts departing here to take advantage of the sheltered Windward Islands passage to the south.

Can Uiara be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Uiara 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 Uiara?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
