Venus (Lagoon 46)

Perfect for families Venus is an excellent choice if you're chartering with multiple families or a larger group, six cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own space, which is rare on a 46-footer. The 2023 build ensures modern systems and minimal maintenance headaches during your week.

Well-equipped cruiser This cat ticks the comfort boxes: air conditioning, generator, electric winches, and a chart plotter take the hard work out of sailing. The dinghy, bimini, and cockpit cushions suggest the operator understands that bareboat doesn't mean roughing it.

Solid value proposition At this size and specification, Venus offers genuine bang for your money, space, comfort, and a recent build year all matter when flying long-haul to a charter base. The €8,000 deposit is reasonable for a six-cabin vessel.

One fair note The operator's 3.8/5 rating from only four reviews doesn't give much signal, you'll want to contact VPM Bestsail directly to understand what those reviews flagged and ask about their turnaround standards and support response times during your charter.
