What KateBot thinks

Perfect for groups This 2018 Lagoon 42 catamaran is ideal if you're chartering with friends or family , with 4 cabins sleeping up to 10, she's genuinely spacious without feeling cramped. The dual-hull design gives you that signature catamaran stability, which matters when you've got less experienced sailors on board.
Solid modern kit You get the essentials: electric winches take the grind out of sail handling, solar panels help with power management, and the chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward. The bimini and cockpit cushions mean crew comfort is clearly a priority on this boat, which counts for longer passages or hot-weather sailing.
Reasonable value proposition At this size and spec, the €7,000 deposit sits in the mid-range for Mediterranean or Atlantic catamaran charters , fair for a well-equipped 2018 model with dual cabins and modern systems. You're paying for reliability and comfort rather than luxury, which is honest positioning.
One note on operator The 3.8/5 rating from just 4 reviews is limited feedback to judge from , worth asking SailChecker's team or requesting recent client references before committing. Operator support matters when you're flying long-haul to the base, so clarify their response times and English-speaking backup on the water.
