Merengue (Lucia 40)

Perfect for groups This 2020 Lucia 40 catamaran offers excellent value for families or friend groups of six to eight people. Four cabins with eight berths mean everyone gets reasonable space without breaking the bank on a per-person basis.

Modern conveniences The electric winches and electric toilet speak to thoughtful spec, less grunt work hauling sails, more time enjoying the water. For international charterers flying in, a newer cat in good condition signals fewer surprises and a more comfortable week.

Solid operator Ancyra Sailing has a perfect 5-star rating on four reviews, which is a genuinely encouraging sign. That consistency matters when you're booking from across the Atlantic or Europe.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so you'll want to check where she's moored before booking, some bases involve tight airport connections or longer transfers that can eat into your first day. Once you know the base, you can factor in realistic travel time from your nearest international airport.
