ONEIDA

## ONEIDA — Lagoon 52, cruising the Greek islands There is a particular pleasure to catamaran cruising in Greece: the shallow draft that lets you tuck into a bay the monohulls have to admire from a distance, the level decks at anchor, the sense of space that a 52-footer with two hulls delivers far beyond what her length suggests. ONEIDA, built by Lagoon in 2020, was made for exactly this kind of week. Lagoon has spent decades refining the sailing catamaran for charter life, and the 52 sits comfortably in that lineage — generous beam, a saloon that opens onto the cockpit so that indoors and outdoors stop being separate ideas, and easy motion under sail. Launched in 2020, ONEIDA remains a genuinely modern yacht. Below, the layout is unusually democratic: five VIP cabins accommodating up to ten guests, each with its own private facilities and full air conditioning throughout. There is no hierarchy of who gets the good cabin — a detail that matters more than it sounds when you are travelling with two or three couples, or a group of friends who would rather not draw lots. Detailed bed configurations are available on request. The Cyclades and the Ionian both reward a yacht like this. Sail in the afternoon breeze, then anchor close in for a swim before dinner in the cockpit, the tender ready for a run ashore to a taverna. The crew handles the sailing, the provisioning and the itinerary, shaping each day around wind, weather and what you actually feel like doing. A straightforward, well-conceived catamaran for a group that wants Greece at sea level, with the comfort of five private cabins to come back to.
