What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
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 The Lagoon 400 S2 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with extended family or friends, six cabins and 12 berths mean everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. The catamaran hull also delivers the stability and comfort that makes multi-generational trips genuinely enjoyable rather than a test of endurance.
Well-equipped vessel This boat ticks nearly every box: solar panels and a water maker mean you're self-sufficient in remote anchorages, while air conditioning, a generator, and electric toilets keep everyone comfortable even in warmer waters. The autopilot and solid electronics package suggest DEDA maintains their fleet to a decent standard.
Strong value proposition At €4,500 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, you're looking at roughly €375 per person for a fully-equipped catamaran if split among 12, genuinely competitive for this size and spec. The operator's 5-star rating (though based on just four reviews) suggests consistent, reliable service.
One practical note The base location isn't specified in the listing, so you'll want to confirm where you'd be flying into and what the airport transfer logistics look like before booking. International clients need to know whether they're looking at a 30-minute drive or a 3-hour journey to get to the vessel.
