Takamaka (Lagoon 52 S)

Ideal for groups This 2016 Lagoon 52 is perfect if you're travelling with a larger party or two families, six cabins and 12 berths give you flexibility and privacy that monohulls simply can't match. The catamaran design means excellent stability and shallow draft, which opens up anchorages smaller boats can't reach.

Solid practical features You've got the essentials covered: water maker (crucial for extended cruising), autopilot, outboard tender, and a decent galley setup with refrigeration. It's a no-fuss platform built for comfortable cruising rather than racing, which suits most charter clients perfectly.

Good value proposition At this size and age, the €8,000 deposit is reasonable, and the five-star rating from VOG FLEET suggests reliable maintenance and service, though the small review sample means you'll want to chat directly with the operator about specifics like fuel consumption and actual cabin comfort for your planned route.

One practical note: Make sure you confirm the exact charter base location before booking, as delivery logistics and flight connections from your home airport will depend on where "Takamaka" is berthed. Ask VOG FLEET about airport transfers and whether English is spoken by the crew, that matters when you're flying 8+ hours to get there.
