SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families. The Lagoon 450 Fly is a proven cruising catamaran that works brilliantly for groups wanting comfort without complexity, three cabins sleep eight, and the wide beam gives everyone real living space on deck and below.

Standout features. Solar panels, water maker, and electric winches mean you'll spend less time wrestling with the boat and more time enjoying it; the fly bridge helm is genuinely useful in changeable weather, and heating makes shoulder-season sailing genuinely pleasant.

Solid value proposition. At 2014 build, she's well-sorted and proven reliable, with a €5,000 deposit that's reasonable for the size and capability, though you'll want to confirm the base location and weekly rate to judge true value against comparable Mediterranean or Caribbean alternatives.

One honest note. We don't have the charter base listed, which matters: if it's somewhere requiring a long airport transfer or poor international connections, factor that into your travel planning from the US or northern Europe before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Port Grimaud, in Grimaud, France. Maja is operated by Arcadie Plaisance.

Why this is a great starting point

Port Grimaud is a sheltered base on the French Riviera's Côte d'Azur, ideal for exploring the Îles d'Hyères (Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and Levant) within easy day sailing. Week 1 typically involves short hops eastward along the coast toward Saint-Tropez or westward to Sainte-Maxime, with consistent northwesterly Mistral winds making beam or broad reach sailing the norm. The marina itself sits in a protected lagoon, reducing exposure to open swell and offering simple access to some of the Mediterranean's most popular cruising grounds without long initial passages.

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