Renegades — Private Eco-Luxury Sailing on a Brand-New Lagoon 42
Private-only charters on the 2022 Lagoon 42 catamaran Freedom, with eco-friendly practices, gourmet meals, and handcrafted cocktails from Port de Plaisance.
Why Go
Renegades sails a brand-new 2022 Lagoon 42 named Freedom — one of the most respected catamaran designs in production — exclusively for private charters. No sharing, no strangers, no compromise on your itinerary. The eco-friendly focus extends to sustainable cruising practices, and the onboard experience features gourmet meals and handcrafted cocktails that treat the charter as a culinary event.
The Experience
The Lagoon 42 is a benchmark in the cruising catamaran world: spacious, stable, fast enough under sail to cover meaningful distances, and designed with the kind of living space that makes a day on the water feel luxurious rather than cramped. Freedom, the 2022 custom build, adds Renegades' personal touches: eco-friendly systems that minimize the environmental footprint, premium furnishings, and the fit-out that comes from a purpose-built charter vessel rather than a converted production boat. Departing from Port de Plaisance Yacht Club in Cole Bay, the private charters cover the full destination range: local waters around St. Maarten for half-day sails, Anguilla for full-day beach and snorkeling adventures, and multi-night getaways that extend to St. Barths and beyond. The boutique-style service means a dedicated captain and crew focused entirely on your group. Custom itineraries allow you to build the day around your preferences — active snorkeling stops, peaceful anchoring in secluded coves, or a mix of both. The gourmet meals use fresh ingredients prepared onboard, and the handcrafted cocktails and craft drinks elevate the open bar beyond the standard rum-punch-and-beer offering.
What to Try
Book a full-day sail to Anguilla on the Lagoon 42 for a premium wind-powered crossing. Request a sunset charter for the most romantic experience — Freedom under sail at golden hour is postcard-quality. Schedule a multi-night getaway for the ultimate Caribbean sailing vacation. Let the crew know about dietary preferences for the gourmet meals.
Insider Tip
The Lagoon 42's sailing performance means Freedom actually sails rather than motoring everywhere. The difference between motoring across flat water and heeling gently under sail with the wind filling the canvas is the difference between a boat trip and a sailing experience. If wind conditions allow, ask the captain to keep the engines off.
