Avra II (Lagoon 560)

Perfect for groups This 17-metre Lagoon 560 catamaran sleeps up to 8 across 4 cabins, making it ideal for families or friend groups wanting to charter together without the cost of booking two smaller boats. The zero deposit is also a genuine bonus that keeps upfront costs down.

Well-equipped vessel Avra II comes with genuinely useful kit: water maker and generator mean you're self-sufficient, the bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, and air conditioning keeps you comfortable in warmer climates, essential on longer charters. Wi-Fi and autopilot are handy for staying connected and reducing fatigue on passage days.

Solid value proposition At €23,500 per week, you're paying a fair rate for a proven catamaran platform with four cabins and good systems. The Lagoon 560 is a workhorse in the charter market, and this 2011 example appears well-maintained and properly equipped.

One honest note At 13 years old, this yacht is entering the age where older air-conditioning and generator systems can occasionally need attention, factor in a potential service call as part of your contingency planning, particularly on longer charters in hot climates. Before booking, confirm your charter base location with SailWays, as that will determine how convenient your international arrival and handover actually are.
