What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families The Lucia 40 is a solid choice for groups wanting comfort over sporty sailing. Four cabins and eight berths make it ideal for a family or two couples wanting genuine space rather than cramped quarters.
Standout practical features This catamaran comes genuinely well-equipped: water maker, solar panels, and electric winches mean less fussing with manual systems and more time relaxing. The bimini and paddle board sweeten the deal for laid-back cruising.
Decent value proposition At just over 11 metres with 2019 construction and a full inventory, you're getting a modern, reliable platform. The €5,000 deposit is reasonable, though you'll want to confirm charter rates with Arcadie Plaisance, as they're not listed here.
One practical note The outboard engine suggests this isn't built for serious bluewater sailing, so it's best suited to sheltered coastlines and lighter conditions. Check your charter base location carefully since you'll be flying international, transfer times from airport to dock vary wildly depending on where Arcadie Plaisance operates.
