What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
10 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Ideal for families This 2016 Lagoon 42 catamaran is perfect for families or groups of up to 10 people seeking stability and comfort over sporty sailing. The four cabins and spacious layout are classic Lagoon strengths, excellent for keeping everyone happy on a week-long charter.
Smart practical touches Solar panels and electric toilets show the owner has invested in modern cruising convenience, while electric winches reduce physical effort when handling sails. The bimini and dinghy are genuine quality-of-life additions that make hot-weather sailing and exploring shallow anchorages genuinely easier.
Reasonable value proposition At €7,000 deposit for a family-sized cat in this age range, you're looking at a fairly standard mid-market charter. The equipment list is solid without being lavish, no air conditioning or watermaker mentioned, so expect a comfortable rather than luxury experience.
One practical note The operator rating sits at 3.8/5 with only four reviews, which is thin feedback for confidence-building. Before committing, ask VPM Bestsail directly about recent client experiences and what their cancellation/support protocols look like, especially if you're flying long-haul to reach them.
