Luna Nova – Lagoon 55 Catamaran Charter in the British Virgin Islands
Launched in 2024, Luna Nova is a Lagoon 55, one of the most spacious and comfortable catamarans in the British Virgin Islands. Based at Hodge’s Creek Marina on Tortola, she is the perfect yacht for a family or group of friends who want space, modern comfort and the easy, sheltered cruising the BVI are famous for.
Charter her as a bareboat if you are an experienced skipper, or let us add a professional skipper and chef so you can simply relax while The Baths, Norman Island, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke come to you.
