Who It Suits. This 2022 Lagoon 52F works well for larger groups or multi-family gatherings; with five cabins and ten berths, you've got sleeping room without feeling cramped. The catamaran layout also appeals to sailors who want stability and confidence in variable conditions rather than a high-performance racing boat.
What Stands Out. As a recent build from Lagoon's well-established 52-foot platform, you're getting modern systems and a proven design that's comfortable for longer cruising. The dual-hull design gives you shallow draft for exploring coastal areas around Sicily, plus the generous beam means proper living space in the saloon and galley.
Value For Money. At around 11,190 euros per week from Capo d'Orlando, this sits mid-range for a five-cabin catamaran in the Mediterranean; the 1,500 euro deposit is reasonable. You're paying a fair price for a new boat with solid reliability rather than overpaying for brand exclusivity.
One Thing To Know. Capo d'Orlando is on Sicily's north coast, so factor in a connecting flight or longer transfer time from major European hubs; it's not a quick airport run. That said, the location itself opens up the Tyrrhenian Sea and Aeolian Islands nicely if that appeals to your itinerary.

Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, Italy. SAILUXE - Fichissimo is operated by Spartivento.
Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.
