SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2025 Lagoon 55 catamaran sleeps 10 across five cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to charter together without splitting costs across multiple boats. The dual chart plotters and modern autopilot mean you can relax while exploring, whether you're experienced sailors or newer to the water.
Standout comfort features Air conditioning, water maker, and solar panels transform this into a proper floating home rather than a basic holiday boat. The flybridge and teak deck give you multiple outdoor spaces, while the lazy jack and lazy bag system mean less crew effort when handling sails, genuinely helpful on longer passages or when energy flags mid-week.
Solid value proposition At €10,000 deposit for a brand-new 55-footer with this specification, you're getting a well-equipped catamaran with serious creature comforts. The 4.5-star operator rating from SAILOÉ suggests reliable service, though the small sample size means you should ask specific questions about their support during your charter.
One honest note We don't have the base location listed in your data, so check transfer times from your nearest international airport, that journey can make or break a week's charter for long-haul flyers. Confirm fuel and provisioning policies upfront, as a boat this size drinks diesel reasonably fast.

The marina & destination
Based at Marina Bas-du-Fort, in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. SMILEY is operated by SAILOÉ.
Rte du Bas du Fort
Marina Bas-du-Fort sits in a protected bay with good holding and lies conveniently close to Pointe-à-Pitre's airport, making it an efficient arrival point after long-haul travel. From here, week 1 typically involves cruising the Saintes archipelago to the south (Les Saintes, Terre-de-Bas) or island-hopping north towards Desharaies and the Pitons du Carbet, with reliable trade winds offering consistent beam and broad reaches. The marina itself provides full provisioning, fuel, and mechanics, though anchor-outs and smaller moorings in nearby bays offer better holding for overnight stops.
