What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups. With 6 cabins sleeping 12, this 2023 Lagoon 42 is ideal for families or friends wanting to charter together without splitting across multiple boats. The catamaran hull means excellent stability and shallow draft, making it forgiving for less experienced sailors.
Well-equipped modern cat. You're getting a brand-new boat with serious comfort features, air conditioning, water maker, generator, and Wi-Fi mean you won't feel like you're roughing it. The autopilot and chart plotter handle the technical side, while the dinghy gives you flexibility to explore anchorages properly.
Strong value proposition. Master Yachting holds a perfect 5-star rating, and the €2,500 deposit is reasonable for a six-cabin catamaran. At this specification level and age, pricing looks competitive for the bareboat market.
One practical note: We don't have the charter base location listed, so I'd recommend confirming with Master Yachting where the boat operates, international flights and airport transfers vary hugely depending on whether you're looking at the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or elsewhere. That detail matters for your total trip logistics.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
