About this yacht

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups. This 2023 Lagoon 42 sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a proper sailing holiday. The catamaran hull gives you stability and space that monohulls simply can't match.

Well-equipped and modern. Solar panels, water maker, and a generator mean you're genuinely self-sufficient, great for exploring remote anchorages without worrying about shore facilities. The lazy bag, sprayhood, autopilot, and twin chart plotters show this boat is set up for comfortable, hands-off cruising rather than racing about.

Solid value proposition. A €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a six-cabin vessel, and Octopus Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from a small sample) suggests the boat is well-maintained and the operator responsive. You're getting genuinely useful extras like snorkeling gear and air conditioning included.

One practical note: The base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm where you'll be flying into and how far it is from your departure point, international transfers can eat into vacation time if the base is remote or requires multiple connections.

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