A/C, GENERATOR, INVERTER, WATERMAKER

Perfect for groups This 2023 Lagoon 46 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together, you'll have genuine comfort rather than cramped quarters. The beam and open layout are real advantages for social cruising.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting the essentials covered: air conditioning, water maker, generator, autopilot, and a decent galley setup with coffee maker and fridge. The bimini and cockpit speakers suggest thoughtful provisioning for both practicality and relaxation at anchor.

Reasonable value proposition At a €4,000 deposit on a brand-new, large-capacity catamaran, the pricing looks competitive for what you're getting, especially if you're splitting costs across multiple cabins. NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews suggests reliable service, though the sample size is modest.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in the listing, so you'll need to confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics before booking, important when flying internationally. Clarify exact positioning and whether NSS arranges ground transport, as that affects your arrival day significantly.

The marina & destination

Based at Cala dei Sardi, in Portisco, Italy. Hercules is operated by NSS Charter.

Strada Provinciale per Porto Cervo

Why this is a great starting point

Cala dei Sardi in Portisco sits on the north coast of Sardinia, offering direct access to the sheltered waters and granite islands of the Costa Smeralda and Maddalena archipelago. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping between Caprera, Budelli, and Spargi, with steady northwesterly winds providing reliable sailing conditions for the 15-25 nautical mile passages. The marina serves as an ideal base for cruisers wanting to explore some of the Mediterranean's clearest waters without committing to longer offshore passages.

Can Hercules be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Hercules 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 Hercules?

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.
