The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for groups This 2023 Lagoon 46 catamaran genuinely suits larger parties or multi-family charters, six cabins and eight berths give you serious flexibility without feeling cramped. The dual-hull design means excellent stability and minimal motion, which matters if anyone in your group gets seasick.
Well-equipped modern boat Bula ticks all the practical boxes: water maker for extended cruising, solar panels to reduce generator noise, and a flybridge that transforms how you use the boat socially. The teak deck and lazy jack system suggest proper maintenance, and autopilot plus dual chart plotters mean straightforward navigation even for less experienced sailors.
Solid value proposition At €8,000 deposit with a 4.5-star operator rating (albeit based on just four reviews), this feels reasonably priced for a brand-new 46-footer. You're getting genuine creature comforts, refrigeration, inverter, dinghy with outboard, that justify the cost without breaking the bank for a large group splitting the charter fee.
One honest note The operator's review count is quite low, so you won't find a deep pool of traveller feedback yet; request recent client references directly before committing. Also, confirm the exact charter base location, it's not listed here, so you can plan your international flights and airport transfers accordingly.

Based at Marina Bas-du-Fort, in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Bula is operated by SAILOÉ.
Rte du Bas du Fort
Marina Bas-du-Fort sits in a protected bay with good holding and lies conveniently close to Pointe-à-Pitre's airport, making it an efficient arrival point after long-haul travel. From here, week 1 typically involves cruising the Saintes archipelago to the south (Les Saintes, Terre-de-Bas) or island-hopping north towards Desharaies and the Pitons du Carbet, with reliable trade winds offering consistent beam and broad reaches. The marina itself provides full provisioning, fuel, and mechanics, though anchor-outs and smaller moorings in nearby bays offer better holding for overnight stops.
