NERA (Lagoon 42)

Perfect for groups The Lagoon 42 is a genuinely spacious catamaran that comfortably sleeps 12 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to charter together without feeling cramped. The wide, stable hull design and dual-engine setup typical of this model means less seasickness and easier handling for mixed-experience crews.

Smart comfort features You're getting the essentials done well: air conditioning throughout, a generator for reliable power, electric winches to reduce crew fatigue, and both chart plotter and a functional galley with dual refrigeration. The bimini and included dinghy are genuine bonuses that add real holiday value.

Good value proposition At this size and specification, the €4,000 deposit is reasonable, and a 2022 build means the boat is in its prime without being brand new (which often means higher pricing). For a group splitting costs across 8, 12 people, the per-person charter spend becomes genuinely competitive.

One fair note Baotic Yachting's 3.7-star rating across just three reviews is fairly limited feedback, so read those reviews carefully before committing. You'll want to confirm the exact base location (it's not listed here) and factor in your own long-haul travel logistics from your home airport.
