Perfect for groups This 2025 Lagoon 55 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across five cabins, making it ideal for families or friend groups wanting to share costs on a proper sailing holiday. The dual-hull design gives you excellent stability and plenty of deck space, something monohulls simply can't match.

Well-equipped modern boat You're getting a brand-new build with a water maker (fresh water on demand), air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and even multiple game consoles for downtime. The dinghy is included, so exploring anchorages and beaches is straightforward, and the refrigeration means provisioning becomes genuinely manageable on longer trips.

Reasonable deposit structure At €3,000, the holding deposit is refreshingly modest for a 16.9-metre catamaran in 2025, it suggests Shamandura Charter runs a confident, transparent operation. That said, the listing doesn't show weekly rates, so you'll need to contact them directly to assess true value against comparable catamarans in their region.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in your data, which matters for flight connections and transfer times from major international airports. Before booking, confirm where you'll actually depart from, that detail can swing logistics considerably for long-haul guests flying from the US or Europe.
