Who This Suits. Solana works brilliantly for larger groups or families wanting comfortable, stable cruising without the rock and sway of a monohull. The six cabins sleep ten, so it suits multi-generational trips or two couples sharing costs.
What Stands Out. This is a 2021 Lagoon 50, which means solid construction, a proven design, and the generous beam catamarans are famous for; you get real living space on deck and excellent stability. A zero deposit is refreshing and removes friction when booking.
Value For Money. At roughly 7,200 euros per week, you're paying a fair rate for a new-build six-cabin cat from a reputable operator based in Greece. Paleros marina sits on the Ionian coast, so your charter covers accessible sailing with manageable distances to islands.
One Thing To Check. Six cabins on a 50-footer means some will be compact, so confirm cabin layouts and bed configurations match your group's comfort needs before committing. Also verify what's included regarding provisioning, fuel, and whether you need a skipper, as these can add noticeably to the final cost.

Based at Marina Paleros, Greece. Solana is operated by Pandora Sailing.
Marina Paleros sits on the west coast of Greece, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands and the sheltered waters of the Patras Gulf. From here, week 1 typically involves cruising north to Lefkas and its satellite islands, or south towards Zakynthos, with consistent northerly winds (the Etesian) providing reliable sailing conditions. The shallow-draft approach and calm anchorages make it well-suited for bareboat charters, particularly those new to Greek waters.
