Who This Suits. The Lagoon 60 is ideal for groups of 6-8 seeking stability and space without a steep learning curve; her shallow draft and forgiving handling make her accessible to mixed-ability crews, and the Cala dei Sardi base in Sardinia puts you within striking distance of the Maddalena Islands and Costa Smeralda.
Standout Features. You get four cabins and a genuinely spacious saloon with excellent natural light, plus the dual-engine redundancy that catamarans offer gives real peace of mind in open water. The 2026 build means systems are current and warranty support should be solid.
Value For Money. At £27,000 or so per week, this is mid-range for a four-cabin catamaran in the Mediterranean; you're paying for newness and Sardinia's location rather than cutting-edge design, but that's fair given the spec and the fact that Arca Sailing is well-regarded for maintenance.
One Thing To Note. Catamarans can feel sluggish upwind and consume fuel faster under power than monohulls of similar size; if your group wants brisk sailing performance or wants to minimise running costs, a narrower boat might suit you better despite the slightly tighter quarters.

Based at Cala dei Sardi, Italy. NAMA is operated by Arca Sailing.
Cala dei Sardi in Portisco sits on the north coast of Sardinia, offering direct access to the sheltered waters and granite islands of the Costa Smeralda and Maddalena archipelago. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping between Caprera, Budelli, and Spargi, with steady northwesterly winds providing reliable sailing conditions for the 15-25 nautical mile passages. The marina serves as an ideal base for cruisers wanting to explore some of the Mediterranean's clearest waters without committing to longer offshore passages.
