Bootscharter in Sporades · Lagoon 46 in Skiathos — “ESPABILA, (ac,Gen,W/Maker)” — (2021)

Skiathos remains one of Greece's most accessible departure points for exploring the Northern Sporades, and ESPABILA, (ac,Gen,W/Maker) is built for that task. This 2021 Lagoon 46 seats up to 11 people across six cabins and five bathrooms, giving families and groups genuine breathing room where everyone has their own berth and shower. The catamaran's wide 8.50-meter beam translates to a light, open interior—the twin hulls lift the deck high enough to view the horizon from anywhere in the saloon, while a full-width galley and dining area handle the practicalities of cooking for a crowd. Life on deck reveals why the Lagoon design suits bare-boat charters. The trampolines stretched between the hulls offer the most comfortable perch for morning coffee or evening conversation. The cockpit sits protected and spacious, with all sail controls within arm's reach, and the wide foredeck lets crew move freely without the narrow, exposed feel of a monohull. Dual engines and simple furling systems keep sail handling manageable, even for intermediate sailors. Those shallow bays and turquoise anchorages that define the Sporades open up thanks to the catamaran's 1.25-meter draft—you reach white-sand beaches and hidden coves where deeper-hulled yachts cannot follow. From Skiathos, a week's sailing threads through pine-backed islands, small fishing villages, and anchorages protected by the hull separation and stability that only a catamaran offers.
