PORTOFINO (Isla 40)

Perfect for groups The Isla 40 is ideal if you're chartering with extended family or friends, five cabins and nine berths mean everyone gets their own sleeping space without feeling cramped. That's genuinely rare in the 40-foot catamaran market, where you're usually trading privacy for size.

Well-equipped modern cat This 2025 build includes the essentials you'd want: air conditioning, solar panels with an inverter, diving gear, and a proper swimming platform. The teak cockpit with cushions and autopilot suggest the owner understands comfort matters on longer passages, not just day sailing.

Reasonable value proposition A brand-new five-cabin catamaran with this spec list won't break the bank compared to comparable vessels. The €3,500 deposit is modest, and Most Sailing's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just three reviews) is a good sign for reliable support when you arrive from abroad.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so you'll want to confirm it's within reasonable reach of your international flight, ideally within 2, 3 hours of a major European hub. That detail matters more than the boat's features when you're coordinating flights across time zones.
