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

Perfect for groups. This 2023 Lagoon 46 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across 4 cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together, you'll get excellent value splitting costs among that many people. The modern build year means everything onboard is reliable and current.

Well-equipped vessel. The standout features here are genuinely useful: air conditioning, a water maker (crucial for longer passages or hot climates), and a generator give you real comfort and independence. Teak cockpit, bimini, and quality speakers suggest the owner understands what makes time at sea enjoyable rather than just functional.

Solid value proposition. At this size and age with this kit list, the pricing sits fairly in the market, you're paying for a newer boat with proper systems. The €4000 deposit is reasonable and the operator's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews shows consistent, trustworthy service.

One practical note: We don't have the base location listed here, so before booking, confirm the airport transfer time from your arrival hub, that matters when you're flying long-haul to meet your charter. NSS Charter's rating suggests they'll sort logistics smoothly, but it's always worth checking upfront.

The marina & destination

Based at Le Marin, in Martinique, Martinique. Hercules (MAR) is operated by NSS Charter.

Why this is a great starting point

Le Marin sits on Martinique's south coast and serves as the perfect launch point for exploring the southern Caribbean's best-protected anchorages; you can reach Diamond Rock, the Grenadines, and St. Lucia's pitons within 2-3 days of sailing. The trade winds blow consistently from the east, making week one ideal for island-hopping down to Bequia and Mustique before stronger winds develop mid-week. The marina itself offers good facilities and provisioning, with most charter yachts departing here to take advantage of the sheltered Windward Islands passage to the south.

Frequently asked questions
Can Hercules (MAR) be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Hercules (MAR) 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 (MAR)?
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.
