Frangy (Lagoon 42)

Ideal for families The Lagoon 42 is a solid choice if you're chartering with kids or a larger group, those 4 cabins and 11 berths give you flexibility, and cats are naturally stable and forgiving for less experienced sailors. The shallow draft is brilliant for exploring shallow anchorages and reef areas that monohulls can't reach.

Smart onboard setup You've got the essentials covered here: water maker means you're not dependent on shore refills, electric toilet and decent refrigeration make extended cruising comfortable, and the autopilot saves energy on longer passages. It's a 2021 build, so systems should be relatively modern and reliable.

Reasonable value proposition At €4000 deposit, the pricing looks fair for a four-cabin cat of this size in a decent charter fleet. You're getting a practical, well-equipped cruising platform without paying premium rates for a showboat.

One heads-up on logistics The charter base location isn't listed here, so you'll want to confirm where Frangy is positioned before booking, some bases are 90 minutes from the nearest international airport, others further. Since you're flying in from abroad, knowing the transfer time and whether the operator arranges airport pickups will make a real difference to your first day.
