Bootscharter in Kroatien · Lagoon 42 in Skradin / ACI Marina Skradin — “First Dance” — (2023)

Skradin puts you at the gateway to Croatia's most rewarding cruising grounds, and First Dance is built for making the most of it. This Lagoon 42 from 2023 gives six cabins and five bathrooms across 12.80 meters—room enough for 10 guests to spread out properly, whether you're chartering with a close group or bringing several families. The catamaran's twin hulls mean real advantages here: shallow 1.20-meter draft so you can anchor nose-up to pebble beaches and explore bays that monohulls can't reach, and exceptional stability at anchor even when the Adriatic gets restless. Life on board works around the dual-hull layout. Forward, the wide trampolines and open foredeck give you sun lounging space and unobstructed views. The saloon sits central, connecting easily to the galley and the generous cockpit where most of the day gets lived. Below, cabins are arranged on both sides of the boat with direct access to bathrooms—no squeezing through companionways. The wide hull spacing means headroom and comfort that feels generous for this size. From Skradin, a week opens up fast. You can sail the Kornati islands with their dramatic limestone walls and anchorages in crystalline water, drift down to Hvar and Vis, or spend days threading the protected channels closer to the coast. The twin Yanmar engines carry you through calms, and the dual hulls make the boat forgiving for bareboat sailing—plenty of deck to move around, excellent visibility, and the kind of stability that lets everyone relax.
