About this yacht
FIRST CLASS LINE | A/C, Watermaker, Inverter, Generator, APA
SailChecker Expert View

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.

The marina & destination

Based at Nelson's Dockyard, in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. MAUI (ANU) is operated by NSS Charter.

Dockyard Drive

Why this is a great starting point

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.

Frequently asked questions
Can MAUI (ANU) be rented with or without a skipper?
Yes, MAUI (ANU) can be chartered both bareboat (self-skippered) or with a professional skipper provided by NSS Charter. A skipper is strongly recommended if you lack recent sailing experience, particularly for Caribbean conditions.
What sailing licence do I need to charter MAUI (ANU)?
For bareboat charter of this 16.9m catamaran, NSS Charter typically requires proof of competency such as a valid RYA Coastal Skipper, ASA 104, or equivalent qualification. If you don't hold a licence, you must hire a professional skipper.
What's included in the charter price?
The base charter price for MAUI (ANU) includes the vessel, standard safety equipment, and basic provisioning. Fuel, consumables, mooring fees, and any optional services (water toys, extra provisioning, skipper hire) are typically additional.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Expect to pay a mandatory provisioning package (food and beverages), fuel surcharge, and mooring/marina fees in Antigua and Barbuda. Damage waiver insurance, skipper hire, and water sports equipment are also common add-ons at checkout.
How does the security deposit work for MAUI (ANU)?
MAUI (ANU) has a €0 refundable security deposit, which is exceptional. However, NSS Charter will still require a damage waiver (insurance) and may place an authorization hold on your payment method for any incidental charges during the charter.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation policies vary by booking date and NSS Charter terms. Most cancellations made 60+ days before departure receive a full refund, while later cancellations incur penalties; contact NSS Charter directly for your specific booking terms.
Is MAUI (ANU) insured?
Yes, MAUI (ANU) carries comprehensive hull and third-party liability insurance through NSS Charter. You'll be required to purchase optional damage waiver coverage at the base to limit your personal liability for accidental damage.
What documents do I need to bring?
Bring your passport (valid for at least 6 months), sailing licence/certificates, travel insurance documentation, and your booking confirmation. US/EU/UK citizens typically require no visa for Antigua and Barbuda for holiday charters.
What payment methods are accepted?
NSS Charter accepts major credit cards, bank transfers, and some online payment platforms; confirm accepted methods when booking. A deposit secures your reservation, with final balance typically due 30, 60 days before departure.
