What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2023 Lagoon 42 catamaran is ideal if you're chartering with family or friends, six cabins and 12 berths give everyone their own space, which matters on a week-long trip. The cat hull design also means excellent stability and minimal motion, a real comfort factor for less experienced sailors.
Genuinely well-equipped You're getting serious cruising kit here: water maker, solar panels, generator, and autopilot take the stress out of longer passages and remote anchorages. The electric toilet and inverter system are solid additions that reflect this is a modern, thoughtfully spec'd boat, not just a rental that floats.
Strong value proposition At €6,000 per week for a six-cabin catamaran launched in 2023, this sits in fair territory for a newer, larger group boat, especially if Bax Yachting's 5/5 rating (6 reviews) reflects reliable service and well-maintained vessels. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a boat of this size.
One practical note The base location isn't specified in your brief, so confirm airport proximity and transfer times before booking, if you're flying long-haul, a 2+ hour drive from arrival to the boat eats into your first day. Also, double-check whether the price includes or excludes skipper/crew options, as that can shift value considerably for mixed-experience groups.
