Boat charter in Sporades · Lagoon 42 in Skiathos — “Marina 3” — (2024)

Skiathos is the natural starting point for a week among Greece's most varied islands, and Marina 3 gives a group of twelve complete freedom to chase them. This 2024 Lagoon 42 catamaran carries five separate cabins and five full bathrooms—enough space that families or friends actually have privacy, and enough en-suites that mornings run smoothly. The twin hulls make the difference. You'll anchor rock-steady in shallow bays where deeper-hulled boats cannot venture, opening coves and small islands the crowded marinas never see. That shallow draft also means you can beach the cat's bows to wade ashore or sunbathe between swims. Above deck, the wide platforms between and around the hulls give you room to spread out: sunbeds on the foredeck, a proper dining area in the cockpit, and trampolines that catch spray and shade in equal measure. The saloon sits protected in the middle, lined with windows so you're never cut off from the view. Bareboat from Skiathos means your schedule belongs entirely to you. A five-cabin layout means couples and families travel together without sharing walls. The catamaran's design—stability at anchor, responsive handling under sail, minimal draft—removes barriers. You navigate to Alonissos one day, tuck into a quiet beach the next, and anchor deep enough to feel secure yet shallow enough to reach places most charter boats never will. Marina 3 is simply the platform; the week ahead is yours to shape.
