Who It Suits. This 2026 Lagoon 55 works well for groups of up to 8 looking for a spacious, modern catamaran without stretching the budget too far. The four-cabin layout makes it ideal for two couples or a small family wanting their own space and privacy.
Standout Features. You're getting a brand new boat here, which means reliable systems and the latest Lagoon design standards; catamarans in this size range excel at stability and interior volume, so comfort and room to move around are genuine strengths. The €4500 deposit is reasonable for a yacht in this category and price bracket.
Value For Money. At €15,090 per week, this sits in the mid-range for a new 55-foot catamaran charter and represents solid value if you prioritize comfort and modern construction over luxury extras. The weekly rate is competitive for a 2026 vessel with four private cabins.
One Thing To Check. The charter base location isn't shown in the data, so confirm where Aegade actually operates and how long airport transfers take from your arrival airport; this affects your overall trip planning and first-day logistics considerably.

Based at Trapani, Italy. Aegade is operated by NSS Charter.
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.
