Mare (Lagoon 42)

Perfect for groups The Lagoon 42 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, those 4 cabins and 12 berths mean everyone gets comfortable sleeping space without cramping. A 2020 build means the boat is modern, well-maintained, and reliable for a week-long escape.

Smart features included The water maker is genuinely valuable on a catamaran, especially if you're cruising remote anchorages or want to reduce reliance on shore facilities. You've also got a dinghy for exploring, plus the basics like a coffee maker, small luxuries that matter after a few days at sea.

Value-conscious deposit At €2,000, the security deposit is reasonable and suggests Porto Pollo keeps their pricing accessible without cutting corners on the boat itself. The low operator rating (just one review) is worth noting though, it's not a red flag, but you won't have much feedback to lean on before booking.

Know your base location We'd need to confirm where Porto Pollo's base actually is to properly advise on travel time from major European or US hubs. Once you have that detail, check their cancellation policy and ask about their support during your charter, especially important if you're flying long-haul and can't easily pop back.
