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

Perfect for groups. Hercules is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends, 12 berths across 4 cabins mean you can spread out comfortably without feeling cramped. The 2023 build also means everything's modern and reliable, which matters when you've flown far to get here.

Well-equipped catamaran. This boat ticks all the boxes: air conditioning, water maker, generator, and a teak cockpit with speakers make for genuinely comfortable cruising rather than roughing it. The autopilot and chart plotter handle navigation so you can focus on enjoying the Caribbean.

Solid value proposition. At this size and specification, the pricing sits in the fair-to-good range for a 2023 catamaran in the Caribbean. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable, and NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating from 10 reviews suggests consistent, dependable service, important when you need proper support from a distant charter base.

One practical note. With 12 berths, you'll need genuine coordination among your group for provisioning and daily routines; this isn't a yacht where one couple can quietly disappear while others relax. Make sure your group is genuinely compatible before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Fort Louis, in Marigot, St. Martin (French). Hercules (SXM) is operated by NSS Charter.

Baie De Marigot

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Fort Louis sits in Marigot's protected harbour and works well as a charter base for exploring the northern Leeward Islands. From here, week 1 typically covers the short reach to Anguilla (16 nm north) and the nearby islands of St. Barts and St. Kitts, with steady trade winds making for reliable beam and broad reach sailing. The marina's position on the French side gives easy access to both French Creole provisioning and the less crowded anchorages around Statia and Saba if you venture southeast.

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