What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
10 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for families The Lagoon 421 is an excellent family catamaran with four cabins and sleeping for up to nine, making it ideal for multi-generational trips or friends travelling together. The spacious twin-hull design typical of this model offers stability and plenty of deck space, great for relaxation between sailing.
Smart modern setup Solar panels and an inverter mean lower running costs and quieter cruising, while air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable in Mediterranean heat. The hydraulic gangway is a genuine convenience feature that saves effort when anchoring, and you've got everything needed for independent exploration with the dinghy and outboard engine included.
Strong value proposition At €4,950 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this 2016 boat offers solid mid-range pricing for a four-cabin catamaran in the Ionian. You're getting well-equipped modern systems without premium-yacht costs.
One note of caution The operator rating is based on just one review, so it's worth digging into their track record directly, ask SailChecker about their service reputation and backup support before committing. Given you're flying long-haul to Greece, solid operator reliability matters more than usual.
