About This Yacht

Simply the Best is a 2014 Lagoon 450 — the benchmark 45-foot charter catamaran of her generation, with four en-suite cabins and twelve berths. A generator and air conditioning carry full-comfort summers, and the teak cockpit and davits complete the picture.

She lies in Sukošan at D-Marin Dalmacija, the Adriatic's largest marina and a first-rank charter hub near Zadar airport. Run through Angelina charter management she is maintained, marketed and booked for you. Her per-yacht feasibility study — income, running costs and VAT recovery — is prepared on request.

What the season does in her owner's favour.

A baseline estimate for Simply the Best: our standard planning assumptions — 21 charter weeks at 1.30% of her price per week, 35% management fee, 7.85% owner-borne costs — applied to her asking price. Her personal feasibility study replaces these with her real charter rates, costs and VAT treatment.

Year one, in your favour — baseline estimate
≈ € 57.000

The arithmetic: kept private − € 25.104 out of pocket · in charter management + € 31.639 — the difference, rounded, is the figure above. Berth, insurance and upkeep are owed either way; the season pays them while you are not on board.

Baseline estimate using our standard planning assumptions, not this yacht's measured performance — actual results vary with season, occupancy, personal-use weeks and market conditions. The full input VAT refund on purchase via a Croatian d.o.o. is additional and modelled separately in the full feasibility study. This is not a financial projection or guarantee.
