What KateBot thinks

Perfect for larger groups. ARIANNA's 5 cabins and 12-berth capacity make her ideal if you're chartering with extended family or friends, you won't feel cramped, and the flybridge adds genuine outdoor living space that smaller cats lack.
Seriously well-equipped. This 2022 Lagoon 46 has the extras that matter: water maker and solar panels mean you're genuinely self-sufficient, while electric winches and autopilot reduce crew fatigue on longer passages. The hydraulic gangway is a nice touch for easier boarding.
Solid value proposition. You're getting a modern, spacious catamaran with five years of development built in, Lagoon refined the 46 well by 2022. The equipment list suggests an owner who's invested properly, which typically correlates with better maintenance.
One practical note: We don't have the charter base location listed here, so do confirm how close Helm Yachting's base is to a major international airport, that'll matter when you're coordinating flights for 6, 12 people from North America or mainland Europe.

Where Charters Went

Here is where charter yachts tracked by AIS spent their nights on round trips from Aeolian islands: Portorosa, Capo d'Orlando, Milazzo, Tropea and Reggio Calabria during the 2026 season so far. The heat map brings those recorded overnight stops together so you can compare past activity with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Cala Junco appeared on 62% of trips, Porto di Levante on 57%, Santa Marina Salina on 51% and Stromboli Porto on 50%. Porto di Levante was the most common first night at 34% and last night at 16%. The furthest straight-line point from base was 40 to 60 nm on 53% of trips, and 92% fell in the Aeolian islands destination group.
