Who This Suits. The Lagoon 55 works well for families or small groups wanting comfort without complexity; four cabins sleep eight easily, and the catamaran's wide beam means stable living space rather than tucked-away bunks. If you're flying into Sicily and want a reliable, modern boat with predictable handling, this ticks those boxes.

Standout Features. Being a 2026 build, you get current systems and minimal wear; Lagoon's catamarans are known for roomy saloons and decent galley space, which matters on a week-long charter. Trapani is a sensible Mediterranean base with good provisioning and a relaxed pace compared to busier Sicilian ports.

Value For Money. At around €12,900 per week, you're in standard catamaran territory for a newer, four-cabin boat in this region. That pricing feels fair rather than discounted, though the €4,500 deposit is a solid chunk to factor in upfront.

One Thing To Note. Catamarans this size can feel a touch wide for some Mediterranean anchorages and tight harbour squeezes, particularly along the northwest Sicily coast where Trapani sits. If you're planning to explore smaller island villages, confirm with Blue Origin Sail what swinging room looks like at your planned stops.

Why this is a great starting point

Trapani marina sits on Sicily's northwestern coast, ideally positioned for exploring the Egadi Islands (Favignana, Levanzo, Marettimo) which lie just 10-20nm offshore and offer excellent anchorages and protected waters. Week 1 typically involves island hopping through these islands with consistent northwesterly winds, then pushing east along the Sicilian coast towards Mondello or west to San Vito Lo Capo depending on wind patterns. The shallow, clear waters and small harbours suit bareboat crews seeking straightforward sailing without heavy ocean swells.

Location: Trapani · Italy
Check-in: Flexible from 17:00. Alternative times can usually be agreed with the operator at booking.
Check-out: By 09:00 on the return day. Empty the boat, refuel if required, then a 30-minute handover with the base manager.
Licences: ICC or RYA Day Skipper licence and VHF certificate are required. Italian operators ask for a sailing CV; conditions are stricter in the Aeolian Islands than on the mainland.
Security deposit: €4,500 · held at base by card swipe or cash. Refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation: Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

Can Aegade 55 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aegade 55 bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Aegade 55?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.

Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?

Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
