Maui (Lagoon 450 SporTop)

Ideal for larger groups. With 6 cabins and 10 berths, the Maui suits families or friends wanting to split costs across more people, perfect if you're flying in from the US or Europe with extended crew and want genuine comfort without cramping cabins.

Solid practical setup. The 2016 Lagoon 450 Sport is a proven workhorse catamaran with electric winches (less arm work), lazy jack (easier sail handling), and a good nav station with chart plotter. The bimini and cockpit speakers make lounging actually pleasant on longer passages or at anchor.

Fair pricing, minor caveat. At €6,000 deposit, you're looking at a reasonable mid-range charter rate for a 6-cabin cat, good value if your group is genuinely 8, 10 people. However, the operator has only 3.8/5 across 4 reviews, which isn't a red flag but warrants a quick call to confirm current maintenance standards and service reputation before committing.

Watch the location. The charter base location isn't listed here, so confirm where you're actually sailing from and factor in airport transfers and overnight stays if it's remote, that matters when you're crossing the Atlantic or flying from California.
