WISH

WISH — Lagoon 60 · Aegean Sea, Greece Some yachts announce themselves; a Lagoon 60 simply opens up. Wide, gently angled steps lead you up into the aft cockpit, and from that first moment the layout tells you everything about how the days will unfold aboard Wish — outward-facing, unhurried, entirely turned toward the water. The aft cockpit is open to the sea on every side, with the kind of unobstructed circulation that only a catamaran of this beam can offer. Its opening terraces put swimming within a step of where you were sitting a moment earlier — no ceremony, no climbing down. Forward of the saloon, a second cockpit reached through its own door and laid on flush flooring gives you an alternative for the quieter hours: the same panoramic horizon, a different mood, and shelter from the afternoon breeze. That relationship between inside and outside is the signature of VPLP Design's work on this platform. The forward cockpit sits flush with the saloon, so the boundary between the two dissolves as you move between them. Inside, tall vertical windows draw daylight deep into a modular interior that never feels enclosed — every seat, in practice, is a seat with a view. Below, five cabins each accommodate two guests in a double bed, for a total of ten aboard. It is a genuinely balanced configuration: no cabin relegated to second best, which matters when you are cruising with two or three families or a group of couples. The Aegean rewards exactly this kind of yacht. Shallow-draft anchorages, short island hops, long lunches at anchor off a beach that a monohull would approach with more caution — the Cyclades and the Dodecanese were made for a wide, stable catamaran. Wish is chartered fully crewed, so the navigation, the provisioning and the choice of the next bay are handled while you decide only how long to stay in the water.
