What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups The Lagoon 46 is ideal if you're chartering with a larger party, five cabins sleeping up to 12 makes it excellent value per person for families or friends traveling together from the US or Europe. The 2025 build means everything is fresh, reliable, and modern.
Standout comfort features This catamaran really delivers on onboard living with air conditioning throughout, a water maker for unlimited freshwater, and an ice maker for drinks and provisioning. The hydraulic gangway is genuinely helpful when anchoring, and the integrated barbecue means proper outdoor entertaining in the cockpit.
Strong value proposition At €4,000 deposit with a brand-new boat, you're getting excellent bang for money, especially split across 12 people. Sea Alliance Group's 5/5 rating is promising, though with only two reviews, do ask specifically about their turnaround times and English-speaking crew support before booking.
One gentle heads-up The charter base location isn't listed in your data, which matters for flight connections and transfer logistics from major hubs. Before committing, confirm where you're departing from and how long the airport transfer is, that can add real cost and fatigue on a long-haul journey.
