ANDIAMO

Built by Lagoon, one of the most established names in cruising multihulls, this 48.5-foot catamaran brings together the two qualities that matter most on a Greek island itinerary: volume and stability. The wide beam translates into genuinely generous living areas, and the platform stays level under way — a detail guests notice immediately, whether crossing an open channel or holding station off a quiet anchorage. Accommodation is arranged over five cabins for up to ten guests, each with a double bed, served by four showers. It is a layout that works particularly well for two or three families travelling together, or a group of friends who want their own space at the end of the day without giving up the shared rhythm of the trip. Life on board follows the sun. Mornings on the foredeck, long lunches in the shaded cockpit, and the easy transition between saloon and exterior that catamarans do better than almost anything else afloat. Swimming from the transom steps into water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue is very much the point here. The crew handles the sailing, the cooking and the daily route, adjusting the itinerary to the group's pace rather than the other way round. Their presence is attentive without ever being intrusive — the mark of people who know when to step forward and when to leave you to it. Based in Greece, the yacht is ideally placed for the Cyclades, the Saronic or the Ionian, with the shallow draft of a catamaran opening up coves that deeper-keeled yachts have to admire from a distance.
