Who It Suits. This 51-footer works well for larger groups or families wanting comfortable shared space without cramped quarters; the five cabins and 10-berth capacity mean you're not treading on each other's toes. It's also ideal if anyone in your party prefers catamaran stability over a monohull, especially in variable Aegean conditions.
Standout Features. A brand-new 2026 build means everything is current and reliable, which cuts down on unexpected hassles during your week. The Lagoon 51 is known for good beam and generous cabin layouts for a catamaran, plus the shallow draft is handy for exploring Greece's less-crowded anchorages and small ports.
Value For Money. At €17,500 per week, this sits comfortably mid-range for a five-cabin catamaran in the Mediterranean; you're paying a modest premium for the new-build guarantee and the flexibility of a larger group boat. Porto Cheli is straightforward from major European hubs, with Athens about 90 minutes away, so no unusual logistics.
One Honest Caveat. Catamarans at this size can feel less "connected" to the sailing experience than smaller monohulls, and they're noticeably wider in tight anchorages; if nimble, spirited sailing is your priority, a smaller or more traditional hull might suit you better.

Based at Porto Heli, Greece. ELOYA RAY is operated by Sea Alliance Group.
Porto Cheli sits on the Peloponnese coast with excellent access to the Saronic Gulf's protected island-hopping grounds; week one typically reaches Hydra, Spetses, and Dokos with short day sails in moderate conditions. The marina works well for boats heading into the deeper Aegean towards the Cyclades, though most charters explore the sheltered bays and anchorages within 20 nautical miles. Prevailing northerlies in summer make departures south straightforward, and you'll find consistent daily wind patterns suitable for newer sailors.
