Bingo (Lagoon 42 Owner)

Perfect for groups Bingo is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, the four cabins and seven berths give everyone comfortable space without overcrowding. Catamarans like this are inherently stable and spacious, making them ideal for first-time charterers or anyone wanting a relaxed, sociable week.

Solid practical setup You're getting the essentials: autopilot and chart plotter mean less hands-on steering, while the bimini keeps the sun manageable during longer passages. The dinghy and outboard are crucial for exploring anchorages, and a 2017 build means the systems are modern enough to be reliable without being bleeding-edge.

Strong value proposition At €4,000/week from a 4.5-star operator, Bingo sits in sensible territory for a four-cabin catamaran in Europe. The €6,000 deposit is reasonable, and SAILOÉ's solid rating suggests you won't encounter nasty surprises on arrival after your long-haul flight.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm where you'll actually be based, it'll affect your flight connections and how much time you lose getting to the boat. Also check whether the price includes base fees and insurance, as these can add noticeably to the final cost.
