What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2026 Lagoon 43 is ideal if you're chartering with friends or family, six cabins sleeping 12 makes it genuinely spacious without feeling cramped. The catamaran hull delivers excellent stability and that signature Lagoon comfort, which matters when you've got mixed abilities or first-time sailors aboard.
Well-equipped boat You're getting serious cruising kit here: water maker and generator mean real independence, while the air conditioning and heating let you extend your season. Wi-Fi, autopilot, and modern navigation gear keep everyone connected and take the strain out of longer passages, useful touches for a larger charter party.
Solid value proposition The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and a new build with this spec and capacity typically offers good bang-for-buck compared to smaller, older catamarans. Just confirm the all-in weekly rate before booking, as base fees for six-cabin boats can add up quickly.
One practical note With 12 berths you'll need to coordinate arrival logistics carefully, factor in airport transfers and check whether MK Yacht Explorer handles group check-ins smoothly, especially if your crew is arriving across different flights from overseas.

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.
