10 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 2016 Lagoon 39 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across six cabins, making it genuinely rare value for larger parties or friends splitting costs. At €3,870/week with a modest €3,500 deposit, you're getting serious accommodation space without the premium price tag.
Smart catamaran choice Catamarans offer real practical advantages: shallow draft means access to protected anchorages, twin hulls provide exceptional stability (great if anyone's prone to seasickness), and the wide beam creates that spacious, open-air feeling. The swimming platform is a genuine highlight for Mediterranean or Caribbean cruising.
Riginos comes recommended With a perfect 5-star rating across three reviews, this operator clearly delivers solid service and maintenance. For international guests flying in, that's reassuring, you want a broker who has their act together on handovers and support.
One practical note The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, which matters for flight connections and whether you're looking at a short hop or a longer transfer. Before booking, confirm where you're picking up and whether the base has English-speaking staff and straightforward airport logistics for your arrival.

Based at Preveza Marina, in Preveza, Greece. Lost Cat is operated by Riginos Sails.
Port of Preveza
Preveza Marina sits at the entrance to the Ionian Sea, making it ideal for charters heading north to the Paxi islands and Corfu or south toward the Peloponnese; week 1 typically covers the sheltered waters and small anchorages between Lefkada and the Albanian coast, with consistent northerly winds favoring an initial southbound passage. The marina's position on Greece's western coast offers quick access to some of the Ionian's most protected cruising grounds, including the Echinades islands and Meganisi, all reachable within a few hours under sail.
Sea above 20°C is comfortable swimming · above 22°C is full-summer · below 18°C feels brisk.
