Sailing Catamaran Nicolas

 

 

Sailing catamaran NicolasOur sailing catamaran S / Cat Nicolas is an extremely spacious and comfortable Lagoon 52F, ideal for those who like space on a yacht! With a length of 16 meters and a width of 9 meters, the deck space is a massive 150 square meters and the below decks accommodation and salon areas are of a similar size!

The yacht can accommodate 10 guests in 5 ensuite air-conditioned cabins plus a crew of 2-3 in three ensuite crew cabins and is ideal for large groups that want to book the whole yacht or for couples who want to book just a cabin.

When we decided to add the two new catamarans to our fleet in 2020, the larger models of the Lagoon boatyard were the obvious choice for us, as they are ideal yachts for our luxury cruises at the Greek Islands.

 

The construction of S / Cat Nicolas was completed in September 2020 by the well-known Lagoon boatyard in France, so in autumn of 2020 it made its maiden voyage from Bordeaux in France, down the Atlantic coast of Europe, through the Straights of Gibraltar and across the Mediterranean Sea to Greece. Its first charter season at the Greek Islands is 2021!

Sailing catamaran Nicolas - The deckThe deck is very large, offering three different seating areas and three different lying down areas with mattresses providing plenty of choice for everyone!

Starting from the very top, there is a spacious flybridge under the shade of a large tent where the steering wheel, the controls for the sails and the navigation instruments are located.

Apart from hosting the control center of the yacht, the flybridge also serves as a very pleasant exterior salon offering panoramic views all around. There is a long comfortable sofa at the aft end, coupled by a second sofa forward and a small coffee table. Further aft and still under the shade of the large tent, there are two very large mattresses.

The kids' favorite place is of course the area with the two trampoline nets at the bow, which becomes everybody's favorite place when dolphins come to play underneath the boat. The foredeck seating area has space for 4 people, but there are also sunbathing mattresses for those who like to work on their suntan! And of course in the evening it's a popular spot for sunset cocktails !!!

The aft seating area is wide and spacious with a dining table that seats 10 guests, a sofa on the starboard side and a big mattress on the port side. The whole area is under the shade of the hard top and it's actually a continuation of the salon where there is another table and sofa, altogether forming the seating area where our breakfasts and delicious Mediterranean lunches are served for 10 guests.

Here you will find a fridge well stocked with beer, wine, ouzo, soft drinks and water for our guests use and an ice maker for those who like ice with their drinks.

Sailing catamaran Nicolas - The swimming platformAll catamarans have 2 sterns (the aft end of the deck) so at the starboard stern you will find a wide swimming platform at sea level, with easy steps into the sea and equipped with a deck shower for rinsing after your swim. At the port stern there is a wide and solid hydraulic Passarella (gangplank) for easy and safe access to the yacht from the harbor quays.

The large platform located at the aft end between the two sterns serves a dual purpose! It is the storage place for the tender (inflatable boat), but the whole platform can be lowered hydraulically into the sea forming a nice area for those who like to sit with their feet in the water or sunbathe just a couple of inches above sea level !

 

 

The Interior

From the aft seating area you walk through a sliding door to enter the spacious salon which is on the same level and offers 360 degree views, through its large windows.
There is a comfortable sofa with a table that seats 8 guests and the chart table with all the controls of the yacht's various systems.

And of course this is where the heart of our cruises is, our well-equipped galley (kitchen) where Alicia's delicious dishes are created, giving our cruises their gourmet edge.

The yacht has been designed with 6 ensuite guest cabins altogether, four accessed through the lounge by going down a few steps to the accommodation areas and two accessed from the aft cockpit going down a few steps directly into each cabin. However, to maintain a higher degree of service and quality for our guests, the small cabin (no 6) is not available as guest accommodation but is used for storage / utilities instead and sometimes to accommodate a third crew member.

Equipment - Amenities

 

Air-conditioning
One of the most important features of our yachts is the air-conditioning, as we know it makes a difference for everyone’s comfort to keep the interior at a pleasant temperature during the hottest months of the summer.
All the cabins as well as the salon are fully air-conditioned and although during the daytime everyone is cooling down in the sea, the air-conditioning makes all the difference for a good night’s sleep (or for those who like their afternoon siesta!).

 

Wi-Fi - Internet
You can connect to the Internet through the yacht’s Wi-Fi network as each of the guests has a free allowance of MBs, more than enough to keep in touch with the outside world during your cruise. This is done through a mobile network provider and that’s why the data usage is not unlimited.

If your allowance runs out you can buy extra GBs by connecting to the Internet provider’s website and paying by Paypal or credit/debit card. If you need to make heavier use of the Internet you will find free and unlimited Wi-Fi Internet at every café, taverna and bar in the villages we visit.

 

Electricity
There are two quiet generators to support the operation of the air-conditioning units and the water-maker plant but also two powerful inverters to provide a constant supply of electricity even when the generators are not running.

Each cabin has a constant 220 volt supply (normal household sockets - European 2 pin type) as well as USB sockets for charging your mobile devices.

 

Music system
The yacht’s music system is located in the salon and you can play your CDs or your favorite music from your phone by connecting via Bluetooth. There are speakers in the salon, the aft sitting area and the flybridge.

 

Fun in the water
There are masks, fins & snorkels for everyone onboard, as well as noodles for floating on the water. Those feeling more active are welcome to use the SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard).

 

Engines
There are two powerful Yanmar engines of 80HP each, giving a cruising speed of 8 knots and a top speed of 10 knots. The fuel capacity is 1000 liters which offers a cruising range of over 1000 miles with the engines alone!

 

Fresh water tanks & Black water tanks
The fresh water tanks hold 1000 liters of fresh water and are constantly topped up by our yacht’s high production water-maker (desalinator).
The yacht’s black water tanks have a capacity of 500 liters which is more than enough for the daily needs.
