What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups. The Lagoon 42 "Aria" sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to charter together without splitting costs across multiple boats. That's genuinely rare value when you're gathering people for a week.
Well-equipped modern cat. Built in 2020, she's got the essentials covered: water maker, solar panels, air conditioning, electric winches, and a generator mean you won't be roughing it. The chart plotter in the cockpit and dinghy with outboard round out a solid cruising setup for independent exploring.
Reasonable mid-range pricing. At around €5,500 per week with only a €3,500 deposit, this is competitive for a six-cabin catamaran in that size range, especially one this new. You're getting modern comfort without premium pricing.
One note of caution: The operator rating is based on just one review, so there's limited track record to assess reliability and service consistency. Before booking, I'd recommend asking Odyssey Sailing directly about their experience with international groups and response times for issues, crucial when you're flying from overseas.
