What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families This 2020 Lagoon 450 is built for relaxed cruising with groups, four cabins sleep nine, making it excellent for multi-family charters or friends wanting their own space. The catamaran hull means shallow draft, so you'll access anchorages other yachts can't reach.
Well-equipped vessel Gecko comes with serious kit: electric winches, autopilot, radar, chart plotter, and solar panels plus generator mean you'll stay comfortable and self-sufficient. The bimini, cockpit cushions, and teak decking make hanging out on deck genuinely pleasant during long cruises.
Solid value proposition At €4,875 per week with air-con, modern navigation, and reasonable deposit (€3,500), this represents fair pricing for a relatively new catamaran of this size. You're paying for comfort and family-friendly layout rather than cutting-edge luxury.
One practical note The listing shows no charter base location, so you'll need to contact Katamaran Charter directly to confirm where Gecko is based, that's crucial for arranging your international transfer and understanding what sailing area you're actually getting. Confirm flight connections to the base before committing, as some charter locations require 2+ hours from major hubs.

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.
