Boat charter in Croatia · Lagoon 450 in Šibenik / D-Marin Marina Mandalina — “ALEX I” — (2017)

From Šibenik's D-Marin Marina Mandalina, ALEX I opens the Adriatic's best-kept anchorages within a few hours' sail. This 2017 Lagoon 450 carries 12 guests across four cabins and four bathrooms, sized so families and groups actually have room to spread out rather than squeeze together. The catamaran's layout flows from a protected saloon to a sprawling cockpit where you can helm, dine, or simply watch the shoreline pass—two hulls mean genuine beam and a deck that doesn't heel as the wind builds. Living aboard works because of how the twin-hull design uses space. Your cabin enjoys proper headroom and storage without feeling like a cupboard. On deck, the wide bridging section between hulls gives you trampolines for afternoon lounging and a foredeck deep enough for anchoring work or just sitting forward with a coffee. The shallow draft that comes with catamarans lets you explore the granite bays and white-pebble beaches near Šibenik that monohulls simply cannot reach. Stability matters when you're anchored off an island for three days, and it matters when twelve people shift to starboard to watch dolphins. The Lagoon 450's beam and weight distribution hold you steady whether conditions are mirror-flat or properly choppy. From here, a week's charter unfolds across the Dalmatian coast—pine islands, medieval towns, and sailing conditions that rarely disappoint.
