Especificaciones
From the Logbook
Esperance is a strong option for groups who want a newer Lagoon catamaran with a comfortable and flexible 5-cabin layout. Built in 2024, she feels modern and fresh, with 4 queen cabins plus 1 twin cabin that can convert into a double, allowing her to work well for up to 10 guests. All cabins have ensuite facilities, which keeps the accommodation setup practical and comfortable for a full group.
Her exterior spaces are a major advantage, especially for Greece. The front deck has a nice lounge area with cushions and the classic Lagoon trampoline nets, while the flybridge offers plenty of space for guests to relax together while sailing or at anchor. She also has a strong water toy list, including 2 SeaBobs, 2 paddleboards, a kayak, floating mat, water skis, wakeboard, inflatable sofa, snorkeling gear, and fishing equipment, giving the group plenty to enjoy throughout the charter.

Two years ago, we were told by a very good friend to sail the Saronic Islands.
We found the most amazing crew and catamaran in the Esperance!!!
We assembled friends and family who did not know each other, and we came together so beautifully on this boat!
New friendships, many many laughs and the crew added to our experience with their amazing service and kindness!
They serve with their hearts which is meant so much to us!
Thank you to the amazing crew!
We love you and we will see you again!
