What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families The Aurora is an excellent choice if you're chartering with kids or a larger group, 10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy, and the catamaran's stability and wide deck space make it genuinely family-friendly. The included dinghy, snorkeling gear, and paddleboard keep younger sailors entertained without extra cost.
Well-equipped modern boat This 2018 Lagoon 42 punches above its weight with solar panels, a water maker, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, genuinely useful kit that makes multi-week cruising comfortable and connected. The electric winches and hydraulic gangway also reduce the physical demands on less experienced crew, which matters when you're managing a larger group.
Solid value proposition At €4,545 per week (roughly £3,850 or $4,800 USD), you're getting a modern, well-appointed catamaran with real creature comforts and a low €3,000 deposit. That's competitive for a 4-cabin cat of this vintage and specification, especially if fuel and dinghy use are included.
One practical note The listing doesn't show the charter base location, which matters for flight connections and transfer times from major European hubs. I'd ask Aurora Yachting directly where she's based, that'll help you factor in travel logistics before committing.
