Who It Suits. This Lagoon 52F works well for families or small groups wanting stability and space without needing a skipper; the catamaran hull gives you confidence in choppier conditions, and four cabins sleep ten comfortably for a week-long charter.
Standout Features. Catamarans of this size offer genuinely spacious saloons and deck areas compared to monohulls, plus shallow draft means you can access smaller anchorages around Sicily; the 2020 build year suggests good maintenance and modern systems.
Value For Money. At roughly €1,270 per person per week for a full 10-berth charter, this sits mid-range for Mediterranean catamaran hire; you're paying a premium for newness and the Lagoon brand's reliability, though the €1,500 deposit is reasonable.
Worth Knowing. Castellammare is on Sicily's north coast about 90 minutes from Palermo airport, which is workable for international arrivals but not immediate; confirm what's included in the price, since equipment lists aren't detailed here and provisioning costs can add up quickly on a larger boat.

Based at Porto di Castellammare del Golfo, Italy. Fico - Premium line is operated by Spartivento.
Castellammare del Golfo marina sits on Sicily's northwest coast, providing excellent access to the Aeolian Islands and the sheltered waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Week 1 typically involves sailing east toward Mondello and Palermo (20nm), or north to Favignana and Levanzo in the Egadi Islands (35nm), with consistent northwesterly winds making for straightforward passage planning. The marina itself offers good provisioning and repair facilities, though holding can be challenging in the outer harbour during south winds.
