MANE ET NOCTE | 2021

Best for: families with children, with groups of friends a close second.

Mane et Nocte is a 2021 Lagoon catamaran based in Italy, and her standout feature is a master cabin with a private hydraulic balcony, a genuine rarity at this size. Four guest cabins sleep up to ten across a master, a double VIP, a convertible double or twin, and a four-bunk cabin that handles the kids or extra crew without compromise. A Jacuzzi on deck and wingfoil kit complete the on-water picture, and a massage table adds a level of on-board comfort most catamarans this size simply do not carry.

A crew of four, led by British captain Will Jameson, a MCA Yachtmaster Offshore with a background in Caribbean charter operations and technical refit management, keeps the boat running to a high standard. His first mate Ben Jameson brings over 5,000 offshore miles and Caribbean charter experience, giving families and active groups a hands-on, capable team. The Italian base puts the Tyrrhenian coast, the Aeolian Islands, and Sardinia within easy reach for a week of varied sailing and swimming.
