Perfect for groups Oscar V is an excellent choice if you're chartering with a larger party or extended family, six cabins and 12 berths mean everyone gets their own space, which keeps things harmonious on a week-long voyage. The 2019 Lagoon 450 is also one of the most forgiving multihulls to sail, so mixed experience levels work well here.

Well-equipped catamaran You're getting solid modern kit: water maker, solar panels, electric winches, and snorkeling gear all included, these are the extras that genuinely improve your comfort and reduce the hassle of provisioning or manual sail handling. The dinghy, bimini, and chart plotter round out a practical, ready-to-go package.

Solid value proposition At €3,485 per week in the Caribbean, this works out to roughly €290 per person for a group of 12, which is genuinely competitive for a modern catamaran with this spec and cabin count. The €6,000 deposit is standard and reasonable.

One small note Star Voyage Antilles has only two reviews on record, so there's less public feedback history than some operators, worth reaching out directly to ask about their BVI or Grenadines experience and turnaround procedures before committing. That said, a 4/5 rating is encouraging for what exists.
