What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2020 Lagoon 42 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across six cabins, making it ideal if you're chartering with family or friends and want everyone comfortable without feeling cramped. The beam and layout typical of this model means genuinely liveable spaces rather than bunks-only compromise.
Well-equipped modern cat You're getting smart touches here, solar panels with inverter, electric toilets and winches, autopilot, and a hydraulic gangway for easier boarding reduce the physical work on longer charters. The dual chart plotters (one in the cockpit) and generous dinghy are practical bonuses that save hassle.
Solid value proposition At €5,702 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this boat sits in the sensible sweet spot for a six-cabin catamaran. You're paying for a recent model that'll spare you the constant tinkering older boats demand, freeing your holiday to actually be a holiday.
Operator caveat AF Yachting has a decent 4.3/5 rating, but only three reviews, a small sample, so you won't find extensive feedback before committing. Do reach out directly about their briefing process and support if weather or mechanical issues arise during your week.
