About this yacht
A/C, WM, Generator, Inverter
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families This 2022 Lagoon 46 is ideal if you're bringing a larger group or multi-generational crew, 12 berths across four cabins means everyone gets reasonable space without cramping. The catamaran design offers excellent stability and shallow draft, so it handles both open water and shallow anchorages well.

Well-equipped and comfortable You've got the essentials covered here: air conditioning, water maker, generator, and electric toilet mean genuine comfort for longer charters without sacrificing the sailing experience. The teak cockpit and bimini create a pleasant outdoor living space, while speakers and autopilot add convenience for those who want to relax between passages.

Solid value proposition At a 2022 build with modern systems and that cabin count, this catamaran offers decent bang for money, especially if you're splitting costs across four or more people. NSS Charter's 4.3-star rating (10 reviews) suggests reliable service, though that's a modest review base to judge from.

Consider the logistics The charter base location isn't specified here, so confirm exactly where you're sailing from and how far it is from your nearest international airport, getting long-haul crews to the right place on the right day matters. A €4,000 deposit is reasonable, but always clarify what that covers before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Portorosa, in Furnari, Italy. Archè II is operated by NSS Charter.

Via Prestipaolo 7

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Portorosa sits on Sicily's north coast and offers immediate access to the Aeolian Islands, all reachable within a day's sail. Week 1 typically takes you through Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with consistent northwesterly winds making the return journey straightforward. The shallow, protected waters around the archipelago suit various boat sizes, and you can easily explore volcanic anchorages and small harbours before heading further east towards Messina Strait or west to Cefalù.

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