Three Little Birds (Lagoon 42)

Ideal for groups. This 2022 Lagoon 42 is perfect if you're bringing family or friends, four cabins sleeping up to 12 makes it a rare find for larger parties wanting to share costs. The catamaran hull means excellent stability and shallow draft, which opens up more anchorages than monohulls can reach.

Smart modern kit. Solar panels, water maker, and electric winches take the grunt work out of sailing, while the lazy bag keeps mainsail handling effortless, great if your crew includes less experienced sailors. Autopilot and dinghy are standard essentials that make cruising genuinely convenient.

Reasonable value. At €5000 deposit with a 2022 build, you're chartering a fairly new boat with solid modern systems; the five-star operator rating (though only two reviews) is encouraging. Running costs should be modest thanks to the solar setup and fuel-efficient outboard.

Limited feedback caveat. Only two operator reviews is a small sample, so do ask VOG FLEET direct questions about their turnaround times, support during your charter, and any quirks specific to this boat. Given the long-haul travel involved for most SailChecker clients, you'll want confidence in the ground support before committing.
