I don't know what type of boat you have been on in the past but I think the charter price is probably less because the last of the Lagoons (which is what the 464 is) in the fleet are on the older side and getting ready to come out of charter. Not necessarily a bad thing but you would probably pay a thousand more for the newer Leopard 454L during the same time. Also, the time of year is financially advantageous. You would pay more than double for the Lagoon in high season. Glad it worked well financially for you and should be a great time to go!
