ARTISAN

Delivered new for the 2025 season, this Lagoon 55 brings the current generation of the French yard's cruising catamarans to the Croatian coast — a hull built for the kind of summer where the day is measured in swims rather than nautical miles. The appeal of a catamaran of this size is spatial rather than statistical. Two hulls mean living space that spreads sideways instead of stacking vertically: a cockpit that sits level with the saloon, a flybridge given over to sunbathing and helming, and accommodation set well apart from the social areas. Air conditioning and heating run throughout, which matters more than most guests expect when the Adriatic turns hot in August or cool in the shoulder season. She welcomes up to 10 guests. Your BellaYacht advisor will confirm the exact cabin configuration for your dates. Practical comfort is handled properly. The galley is fully equipped for a crew cooking on board day after day, there is Wi-Fi and a television, an ice maker, refrigeration in both the cockpit and on the flybridge, speakers in the cockpit, and a stern shower for coming back aboard after a swim. Autopilot supports the skipper on longer transfers between islands. Forward, two dedicated crew cabins house a professional skipper and hostess — a permanent, discreet presence that turns a bareboat-shaped itinerary into something closer to a private charter: local knowledge of the anchorages, meals prepared aboard, and the logistics taken off your hands. A selection of water toys is carried, suited to mixed groups and to children as much as adults — the shallow, clear bays between Split and the Kornati are made for exactly that.
