What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2019 Lagoon 42 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long adventure. The spacious layout and dual hulls mean everyone gets reasonable privacy without feeling cramped.
Well-equipped and modern Melissanthi comes with genuinely useful kit: solar panels keep power costs down, a generator provides backup, autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, and the lazy jack system makes sail handling effortless. The sprayhood and bimini keep you shaded and dry, while the chart plotter and radio-CD player cover navigation and entertainment.
Solid value proposition At €5,400 per week with zero deposit required, you're getting a relatively recent catamaran with solid five-star backing from Istion Yachting (12 glowing reviews). For a six-cabin boat that sleeps ten, the per-person cost splits very favourably compared to chartering smaller monohulls.
One practical note: The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, you'll need to confirm where Melissanthi is moored before booking flights, as that affects your international transfer time and overall trip logistics. Contact Istion Yachting directly to confirm the base and factor in airport connections accordingly.
