SailChecker Expert View

Built for groups This 2024 Lagoon 55 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across 5 cabins, making it ideal for families, friends, or corporate teams wanting to share the cost and experience. The five-cabin layout means everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped on a charter.

Genuinely well-equipped You're getting serious kit here: water maker, generator, air-con, radar, autopilot, and a full suite of comfort features like teak decking, cockpit speakers, and electric toilets. The inclusion of snorkeling gear and a stand-up paddle board adds real value for Caribbean or Mediterranean exploring without nickel-and-diming you for extras.

Smart financial move Zero deposit required is unusual and frankly brilliant for international charterers—no upfront security hold draining your account before you've even arrived. Split ten ways, the per-person cost on a Lagoon 55 becomes very reasonable for a modern, fully-crewed catamaran experience.

One realistic note The operator's 4.3/5 rating is solid but not outstanding; worth reading the actual reviews to check whether issues were service-related or yacht-condition issues. Since you're flying long-haul to reach the base, confirm transfer arrangements and English-speaking support are locked down before committing.

Frequently asked questions
Can The Moon (ANU) be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter The Moon (ANU) 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 The Moon (ANU)?
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.
