Who This Suits. The Antigone works well for larger groups or multi-family charters wanting comfort without complexity; six cabins sleep 13, which spreads the cost nicely across 8-10 people. It's a solid choice if you value modern catamaran space and stability over a sporty sailing experience.
Standout Features. This 2024 catamaran is genuinely well-equipped; the watermaker, air conditioning, and electric systems mean you won't compromise on creature comforts. The Nespresso machine, hot water, and underwater camera are thoughtful touches that hint at an owner who gets what charterers actually want.
Value For Money. At €6,330 per week, you're paying a fair rate for a new-build catamaran of this size in the Mediterranean. Portorosa in Sicily offers decent sailing to the Aeolian Islands and Calabria, with good provisioning and a practical base location for transatlantic visitors; most will connect through Palermo or Catania airports within 90 minutes.
One Honest Note. Six cabins at 13 berths means at least one cabin is tight, likely an upper or single-berth setup, so clarify the configuration before you book if sleeping comfort matters to your group. The 4.8-tonne capacity is reasonable for a catamaran this size, but confirm it suits your planned anchorages and water conditions.
