SailChecker Expert View

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.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Bas-du-Fort, in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Bula is operated by SAILOÉ.

Rte du Bas du Fort

Why this is a great starting point

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.

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