The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Ideal for larger groups This 2025 Lagoon 55 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across five cabins, making it perfect for families or friends who want to charter together without splitting costs across multiple vessels. The dual-hull design gives you excellent stability and space, a real comfort advantage on longer passages or when anchoring in exposed bays.
Well-equipped modern cat You're getting genuinely useful kit here: water maker and generator mean you can stay off-grid longer, air conditioning keeps everyone happy in warm climates, and the autopilot + radar + chart plotter handle navigation confidently. Teak decks and cockpit cushions signal this is a yacht built for relaxed cruising, not bare-bones sailing.
Good value proposition Zero deposit is an immediate plus, and NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews suggests consistent, reliable service, not spectacular, but trustworthy. For a brand-new 2025 boat with this cabin count and equipment list, pricing should feel competitive, though you'll want to confirm the base location and seasonal rates.
One small note The operator information is incomplete (base location isn't listed), so before booking, confirm where you're flying into, that transfer time from airport to boat can make or break a charter week if you're connecting long-haul from Europe or the US.

Based at Nelson's Dockyard, in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. MAUI (ANU) is operated by NSS Charter.
Dockyard Drive
Nelson's Dockyard is Antigua's primary yacht base and sits perfectly for exploring the Leeward Islands; week one typically involves easy downwind passages to Montserrat, Guadeloupe, or the nearby Grenadines with consistent trade winds pushing you south. The protected anchorages around Antigua itself offer several sheltered bays for shorter days, making it ideal for crews adjusting to boat handling after long flights. From here you can work south through the volcanic peaks and reef systems of the Lesser Antilles, or north towards Barbuda and St. Kitts depending on your preferred pace and wind conditions.
