AZUL

Azul — Lagoon 55 · Greek Islands Azul belongs to a generation of cruising catamarans built around a simple idea: volume without heaviness. The Lagoon 55 carries her curved lines with intent rather than flourish, and she sails properly — enough performance under canvas to make a passage between islands a pleasure rather than a transfer. Her most telling feature is what happens aft. The transoms are no longer simply a way on and off the yacht; at anchor they become genuine living space — a place to cook outdoors, to sit with your feet in the water, to watch the light go off the Aegean without leaving the water's edge. It changes the rhythm of a day aboard. Inside, the saloon and cabins are drawn to gather natural light, with interior finishes of a high standard and a restraint that suits long, unhurried days. Azul accommodates eight guests across four cabins, each with a double bed and its own en suite facilities — an even, generous layout with no compromise cabin, which matters on a charter shared between couples or friends. A crew of three looks after the yacht and her guests: navigation, cooking, and the quiet logistics that make a week in the Cyclades or the Ionian feel effortless rather than organised. For the Greek Islands specifically, this is a well-judged platform — shallow draft, shaded outdoor space, and the ability to anchor close to shore where the good beaches are.
