What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
23 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for groups This Lagoon 380 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, 10 berths across 4 cabins mean everyone gets their own space, and the catamaran's wide beam makes living aboard genuinely comfortable. The twin-hulls also deliver that stable, level feel catamarans are famous for, which matters if anyone gets seasick easily.
Well-equipped boat Caramela comes ready for a proper adventure: solar panels and an inverter keep systems running without hammering the engine, there's snorkeling gear onboard, and the autopilot handles long passages so you're not hand-steering all day. The bimini and cockpit speakers suggest the owners understand that relaxation is part of the charter experience.
Strong value proposition At €2,700 per week with a €2,500 deposit, this boat sits at the accessible end of the catamaran market, particularly impressive given it's fitted with modern conveniences like chart plotters and solar power. SAILMAN's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just 3 reviews) is a solid endorsement, though you'll want to confirm the charter base location since it's not listed here.
Age is the consideration Built in 2003, this vessel is over 20 years old, so while catamarans age well, you should check maintenance records carefully and expect occasional quirks. It's still a capable boat for a summer sailing holiday, just not brand-new.
