SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups. With 6 cabins and 10 berths, the Maui suits families or friends wanting to split costs across more people, perfect if you're flying in from the US or Europe with extended crew and want genuine comfort without cramping cabins.

Solid practical setup. The 2016 Lagoon 450 Sport is a proven workhorse catamaran with electric winches (less arm work), lazy jack (easier sail handling), and a good nav station with chart plotter. The bimini and cockpit speakers make lounging actually pleasant on longer passages or at anchor.

Fair pricing, minor caveat. At €6,000 deposit, you're looking at a reasonable mid-range charter rate for a 6-cabin cat, good value if your group is genuinely 8, 10 people. However, the operator has only 3.8/5 across 4 reviews, which isn't a red flag but warrants a quick call to confirm current maintenance standards and service reputation before committing.

Watch the location. The charter base location isn't listed here, so confirm where you're actually sailing from and factor in airport transfers and overnight stays if it's remote, that matters when you're crossing the Atlantic or flying from California.

The marina & destination

Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Maui is operated by VPM Bestsail - EIS Finance SARL.

Why this is a great starting point

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.

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