Who This Suits. The Lagoon 51 works well for larger groups or families wanting a roomy, stable platform; six cabins sleep up to ten comfortably. The 2024 build means modern systems and minimal wear, which matters when chartering from a Mediterranean base.
Standout Features. Catamarans excel at shallow-draft anchoring and minimal heel, so if anyone in your party struggles with motion or prefers flat galley work, this delivers. The beam and layout give genuine living space between deck time, quite different from a monohull equivalent.
Value For Money. At roughly €9,080 per week from Olbia, you are paying catamaran rates for a new, six-cabin vessel; that is reasonable given the 2024 specification and Sardinia's popularity. The €1,500 deposit sits at the standard end of the scale.
One Honest Note. Olbia marina sits at the top of the Tyrrhenian coast; it is not a central Mediterranean hub, so if your group is flying from London or North America, you may face an extra connection or overnight stop compared to Palma or Athens. Check flight routing before committing.

Based at Marina di Olbia, Italy. Paco - Premium line is operated by Spartivento.
Marina di Olbia sits on the northeast coast of Sardinia, offering direct access to the Maddalena Archipelago and the Costa Smeralda within a day's sail; week 1 typically involves exploring granite-backed anchorages, small island villages, and crystalline waters around La Maddalena National Park. The northeasterly Mistral winds generally allow you to island-hop southward toward Porto Cervo and the sheltered Straits of Bonifacio, with reliable conditions for sailing and plenty of protected anchorages. This location suits crews wanting immediate natural beauty without lengthy passages, combined with the option to push into Corsican waters if conditions permit.
