SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Lagoon 51 is a modern catamaran offering excellent space and comfort for up to 10 guests across 4 cabins, making it ideal for families or small groups wanting to explore together without feeling cramped. At 15.3m, she's substantial enough for a proper holiday but still manageable for mixed sailing abilities.

Standout comfort features Air conditioning throughout, onboard water maker, and Wi-Fi connectivity are genuine bonuses on a 2024 build—these aren't standard on all catamarans in this size. The catamaran hull design means excellent stability and shallow draft, so you'll access anchorages and coastal areas that monohulls simply can't reach.

Solid value proposition At €19,040 per week with zero deposit required, this represents reasonable pricing for a brand-new, four-cabin catamaran with modern amenities and the operational support of Istion Luxury Yachts (a reputable Greek operator). You're paying for newness and reliability, which matters when you're traveling internationally.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in the data provided, so I'd recommend confirming with Istion whether it's in the Greek islands, Turkey, or elsewhere—this will determine your flight connections from the US or UK and overall trip logistics. Getting that detail locked down early makes a real difference to your travel planning.

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