Charter ‘Casbah III’ Lagoon 42 in the BVI
Horizon Yacht Charters is delighted to present Casbah III, a beautifully upgraded Lagoon 42 catamaran available for yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands. With her sleek design, spacious layout, and premium amenities, Casbah III offers the perfect balance of comfort, performance, and style—ideal for your next BVI sailing vacation.
Exterior: Designed for Seamless Sailing
The Lagoon 42’s open-plan layout connects the saloon and cockpit, creating a flowing, sociable space perfect for groups and families. The helm station, located on the port-side bulkhead, offers clear communication with the cockpit and deck, and provides easy access to all sail controls and winches.
Her 25-foot beam and 42-foot LOA make Casbah III feel open and airy throughout, while features like flush deck hatches and built-in handholds ensure safe movement around the wide decks. The cockpit includes a generous dining table with ample seating for the crew, a built-in fridge to keep your drinks cool, and a gas BBQ for laid-back BVI evenings.
Sailing performance is strong thanks to the aft-set mast and larger self-tacking genoa paired with a high-aspect mainsail. With upgraded engines placed over 20 feet apart, Casbah III offers smooth maneuverability in marinas or tight anchorages. Sliding hatches in the composite bimini and an electric winch for the mainsail make trimming and hoisting sails effortless. Additional coachroof cushions offer even more lounging space, whether at anchor or underway.
Interior: Refined & Comfortable Living
Inside, Casbah III showcases elegant Italian-inspired styling with a thoughtfully designed layout that’s both functional and luxurious. The saloon includes a convertible dining table, offering extra sleeping space when needed. The well-equipped galley features everything you need to prepare meals onboard, including a kettle, French press, blender, toaster, microwave, and coffee machine.
She comfortably sleeps six guests in three double cabins, each with its own ensuite electric head and shower. Each cabin also includes 110V and USB outlets for convenient charging. A navigation station doubles as a desk—with a view far better than your office window.
A range of thoughtful upgrades ensures a truly comfortable experience aboard Casbah III, from powerful air conditioning to an excellent onboard sound system.

John Miniati, 22-29 June '24We had a wonderful time during our trip and appreciate the care you and the entire Horizon Team gave us. It was my wife Monika’s first week-long bareboat, and she loved it.
Nick Lee, 25 May - 1 June '24The family had another wonderful trip and I’m already looking at booking our next trip this November!
Barry Kloter, 8-15 May '24Had a FABULOUS week!
Ray Montgomery, 3-11 February '24Horizon and BVI was an excellent choice for our family’s first bareboat sailing experience! We chartered a 42 Lagoon named Casbah III from Horizon Yacht Charters. This Lagoon 42 had a large, full stateroom in Starboard hull and two smaller, full staterooms in Port hull. My wife and I were in one of the smaller rooms, and my adult son was in one of the smaller rooms. My daughter, son-in-law and 2 1/2 year old granddaughter were in the larger room. This boat was PERFECT for our family! The experience with the Horizon Staff and Nanny Cay facilities and other establishments was excellent. The sailing was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed every area we visited – Peter Island, Soper’s Hole, Jost Van Dyke including Foxy’s Taboo and the bubbly pools, Marina Cay and the snorkeling there, The Baths at Virgin Gorda and Cooper Island. I would recommend Horizon and a BVI sailing experience to anyone. It was my first bareboat Captain experience. I have a 38 foot monohull sailboat. For any prospective Captains thinking of doing this for the first time, as long as you prepare well and take full advantage of the videos and manuals Horizon provides, you can do this!
Charlie, 30 September - 10 October 2023The Horizon experience was flawless.
Kell & Lisbeth , 25 October - 4 November 2023Had a wonderful 10 days on Casbah lll.

Find Your Rate Check out our special offers
Did you know Horizon’s charters start and finish at noon? This means we can get you out sailing your first afternoon after your briefings – remember to watch your video briefings to speed up your check out! At the end of your trip, you sail back to Nanny Cay to refuel and debrief before your noon departure. This gives you a full 6 nights/7 days chartering around our beautiful islands, unlike some companies that start at 5pm, meaning you will have to sleepaboard* at the docks, and then finish at 10am, again meaning you will probably have to stay overnight on the docks the night before you leave to fly home.
*If available, a sleep aboard can be added the night before your charter start for a small supplement, boarding your yacht after 5pm.
Current Rates
Weekly rates (full 7 days / 6 nights) are listed above as daily rates. Charters start and finish at noon. Our minimum charter duration requirement is 5 nights.

Super Tender your Vacation with Horizon Yacht Charters!
Licensed for 6 persons, this 15ft RIB with 60HP Yamaha outboard will get you and your crew to snorkelling spots and the beach in style and comfort.
Make your charter yacht vacation a breeze – enjoy the comfort of being able to tie up your yacht for the night and then continue exploring the surrounding bays! You can pick up your mooring ball at the Bight and then head to the Indians or the Caves for a snorkel. If you visit the Dogs, there’s no need to choose only one snorkel spot for your lunch stop, zip around them all! A swim ladder makes boarding easy from the water.
For popular spots where it’s trickier to find a mooring, the RIB is the perfect alternative. Settle into Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke for the night and then take the RIB to White Bay for the afternoon to enjoy painkillers without the hassle of finding a mooring ball or having to move your yacht for the night.
The North Sound boasts a selection of some of the best dining options in the BVI. There’s no need to settle for only one spot when you have the RIB. Pick up provisions from Leverick Bay, enjoy the plunge pool at Nova in Deep Bay, and then zip back to the sound for sundowners at Saba Rock before enjoying dinner at The Bitter End.
If you have a mix of snorkelers, beachgoers, shoppers and sailors onboard then give your group flexibility by taking the standard dinghy included in your charter as well. This will also remove the need to make multiple dinghy trips ashore for larger groups.
