Who It Suits. This 2020 Lagoon 46 works well for groups of 6 to 11 people wanting comfortable, stable cruising without the fuss of a monohull; the catamaran design means minimal heel and plenty of deck space, which appeals to families and mixed-ability crews.
What Stands Out. Four cabins on a 14-metre boat give decent privacy for a group charter, and the wide hulls deliver the spacious saloon and movement comfort that multihulls are known for. Lagoon builds reliable production cats, so you're getting proven design rather than something experimental.
Value For Money. At £4,700 or so per week (depending on exchange rates), you're in reasonable territory for a newer catamaran of this size in the Mediterranean; the €3,500 deposit is standard. The Salerno base offers good access to the Amalfi Coast and Campania region, though you'll be flying into Naples, which is roughly an hour's drive away.
One Honest Note. The boat sleeps 11, but comfort on a week-long charter means you'll likely be happier with 8 people maximum; crewing four cabins with a large group can feel tight in the common areas. Check directly with Starsail about which specific cat in their fleet you're booking, as availability matters more than the model name.

Salerno Marina sits perfectly for exploring the Amalfi Coast and Campania region; you can reach Positano, Ravello, and the dramatic cliffside anchorages within a few hours under sail or motor. Week 1 typically involves gentle coastal hops along the Sorrentine Peninsula with frequent stops for swimming and village visits, though summer northwesterlies can make afternoons lumpy and may push you toward protected southern-facing bays. The marina provides good provisioning and is close to Naples airport for transatlantic arrivals, though limited charter selection means booking well ahead.
