Summer Sun (Lucia 40)

Perfect for families This 2018 Lucia 40 catamaran suits groups of up to 10 people looking for comfortable, stable cruising without the learning curve of a monohull. The four cabins spread the crew nicely, and the wide beam typical of catamarans means excellent deck space and a forgiving motion, ideal if anyone gets seasick.

Well-equipped modern cat Electric winches, chart plotter, and cockpit speakers suggest the owners have invested in making life aboard easier and more enjoyable. The cockpit cushions are a nice touch for those long Mediterranean lunches between anchorages.

Reasonable value proposition At 11.7 metres with four cabins and modern conveniences, the €3,000 deposit signals competitive pricing for a catamaran in this size range. You're getting decent gear and a newer build, which typically means lower maintenance hassles during a week's charter.

One practical note The charter operator information appears incomplete in your details, so do confirm directly with Portiate about their base location, crew qualifications they require, and whether skipper services are available, especially important if you're flying long-haul and want peace of mind about handover logistics.
