SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for families The Varuna is an excellent choice if you're chartering with kids or a larger group, four cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own space, and the catamaran's wide, stable platform makes it forgiving for less experienced sailors. The 2023 build year is a major plus: you're getting a nearly new boat with modern systems and minimal wear.
Well-equipped cruiser Solar panels, generator, inverter, and air conditioning show this boat is set up for comfort in warm climates, while the electric winches take the hard work out of sail handling. The chart plotter and full audio setup keep things convenient, and the bimini plus sprayhood mean you won't cook in the sun or get drenched in sudden squalls.
Fair value proposition A €7,000 deposit on a 2023 Lagoon 42 is reasonable, though without seeing the full charter rate we can't judge the complete package. The operator's 3.8/5 rating is solid if not outstanding, worth checking those reviews for specifics on service quality and turnaround standards.
One caveat worth noting VPM Bestsail's rating sits just shy of four stars, so do check whether previous renters flagged any issues with maintenance, check-in procedures, or support during your charter. For a long-haul trip from the US or Europe, you'll want confidence in reliable back-up if anything needs attention mid-week.

The marina & destination
Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Varuna is operated by VPM Bestsail - EIS Finance SARL.
Eden Island Marina in Victoria is the primary charter base in the Seychelles, positioned perfectly for exploring the inner islands of the Mahe group. Week 1 typically involves gentle sailing to nearby islands such as Praslin and La Digue, with consistent trade winds and short passages of 15-30 nautical miles that suit both experienced sailors and those acclimatising after long-haul travel. The protected anchorages around these islands offer good holding and predictable conditions, making this an ideal base for building confidence before considering longer passages to the outer islands.
