Parceval (Lagoon 42)

Perfect for families This 2024 Lagoon 42 catamaran is ideal for multi-generational groups or two couples wanting comfort without sacrificing space, 10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone sleeps well and has their own head. The cat's stability and shallow draft make it forgiving for less experienced sailors exploring shallow anchorages.

Well-equipped modern boat You're getting a genuinely new vessel with smart cruising gear: water maker for extended passages, air conditioning for Mediterranean heat, electric winches to reduce fatigue, and a dinghy included. The bimini and sprayhood setup suggests the owner understands charter comfort, and having a chart plotter beats older analog navigation on a 2024 build.

Reasonable charter value An €8,000 deposit is moderate for a catamaran this size and age, and the all-in package (dinghy, generator, inverter) leaves less room for surprise add-ons. However, the operator rating of 3.8/5 is worth investigating, read those 4 reviews carefully before committing, as smaller sample sizes can hide real issues.

One honest note The operator's modest rating deserves attention: check whether complaints centre on maintenance standards, communication, or logistics. Since you'll likely be flying internationally to reach the base, any issues with check-in procedures or support responsiveness become much more costly to resolve mid-charter.
