SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups The Lagoon 70 8 Zenit is a superb choice if you're chartering with family or friends, four cabins sleeping up to eight makes it genuinely spacious for a catamaran of this size. The 2024 build means everything is contemporary and reliably well-maintained, which matters when you're flying long-haul to get here.

Standout comfort features You're getting proper luxury touches: teak decking, a flybridge for lounging, air conditioning, heating, and a water maker for extended cruising without worrying about refill stops. The swimming platform, snorkeling gear, and SUP included sweeten the deal considerably for a mixed-ability group wanting to explore beyond just sailing.

Solid value proposition Zero deposit is genuinely unusual and removes friction, especially helpful when arranging insurance and logistics from abroad. NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews is respectable, though the modest review count means you'd want to dig into recent feedback before committing.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed here, which matters significantly for international clients planning flights and transfers. Before booking, confirm the base location, local airport proximity, and whether NSS offers airport pickup, these logistics can make or break a long-haul charter experience.

The marina & destination

Based at Nelson's Dockyard, in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. Zenit - First Class (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 Zenit - First Class (ANU) be rented with or without a skipper?
Yes, Zenit can be chartered both bareboat (self-skippered) or with a professional skipper included. If you'd like a skipper, we recommend confirming availability and costs directly with NSS Charter at the time of booking, as this affects your overall charter price and insurance requirements.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Zenit - First Class (ANU)?
For bareboat charter of this 23.8m catamaran, you'll typically need an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or equivalent national qualification recognised in Antigua & Barbuda. If you're skippering without formal qualifications, NSS Charter may require proof of sailing experience or insist on hiring a professional skipper.
What's included in the charter price?
Standard inclusions typically cover the yacht, basic equipment, and bed linens. For Zenit's specific package, including whether water, fuel, or provisioning are included, contact NSS Charter directly, as offerings can vary by season and charter length.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Expect to pay for fuel, provisioning, mooring fees (if applicable), and a skipper if you hire one. NSS Charter will provide a full breakdown of base costs during your pre-charter briefing in Antigua & Barbuda; some operators also charge for late-season fuel surcharges or cleaning if you opt out.
How does the security deposit work for Zenit - First Class (ANU)?
Zenit has a €0 refundable security deposit, so no upfront damage bond is required, a significant advantage. This does not eliminate your responsibility for damage; your charter agreement and insurance will still cover liability for any incidents during your rental.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms depend on NSS Charter's policy and how far in advance you cancel. We recommend reviewing the cancellation clause in your booking contract carefully; most operators offer partial refunds if you cancel well ahead, but terms tighten closer to your charter date.
Is Zenit - First Class (ANU) insured?
Yes, Zenit carries standard operator insurance through NSS Charter. Your charter agreement will outline coverage limits and your liability (often a deductible); we strongly recommend additional personal charterer's insurance when booking, especially for long-haul trips from the US or Europe.
What documents do I need to bring?
Bring a valid passport (6+ months validity), your ICC sailing certificate or proof of competence, and travel insurance. NSS Charter will also require a signed charter agreement and payment confirmation; non-EU nationals arriving in Antigua & Barbuda should verify visa requirements well ahead of your departure.
What payment methods are accepted?
NSS Charter typically accepts bank transfers and credit cards; confirm your preferred payment method and any associated fees when booking. For large international bookings from the UK or Europe, bank transfer often avoids currency conversion charges.
