The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Photos supplied by the operator. Specifications are SailChecker-Verified , but images may show a sister yacht or stock photography — especially on yachts under two years old. Confirm the actual boat with us at quote time.
Final figures confirmed at quote — applies any active discounts and locks the operator's per-unit rates.
12 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention — ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter; on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Who It Suits. This Lagoon 620 works well for groups of six to eight wanting a stable, beamy catamaran in the Mediterranean; the four cabins and twin hulls make it ideal for families or friends who value space over speed.
Standout Features. The 2014 build is well-maintained and sits in Procida, a charming base near Naples with good airport links; dual hulls mean minimal heel, excellent natural light, and a genuinely spacious saloon compared to most monohulls of similar length.
Value For Money. At roughly 3,200 euros per person per week for eight people, this is reasonable for a four-cabin cat in peak season; you're paying fair money for a proven design and a convenient Italian jumping-off point for Capri, Ischia, and the Amalfi Coast.
One Honest Note. The 2014 age means systems and fabrics will show their mileage; inspect the engines, through-hulls, and upholstery photos closely before committing, as older cats can rack up maintenance costs if anything major needs attention mid-season.

Based at Marina di Procida, Italy. LADY RACHEL is operated by Shamandura Charter.
Marina di Procida sits on the northern coast of the island and offers straightforward access to the Bay of Naples cruising grounds; week one typically covers the Phlegraean Islands (Vivara, Procida's neighbour) and runs south to Ischia or Capri, all within 15-25 nautical miles. The marina works well for crews wanting gentle starts because the Tyrrhenian winds funnel predictably through the bay, and you can reach sheltered anchorages and small fishing villages without long offshore passages. From here you can also push further south towards the Amalfi Coast if conditions allow, giving flexibility for different ability levels.
