French Riviera (Côte d'Azur)包船 · Lagoon 38 in Hyeres — “Manatéa” — (2005)

Manatéa is a superbly equipped Lagoon 38 catamaran that exemplifies modern charter comfort for groups and families seeking an unforgettable Mediterranean sailing experience. Built in 2005, this well-maintained vessel combines Lagoon's renowned design philosophy with the spacious, stable platform that only a multihull can deliver. With four comfortable cabins and two bathrooms accommodating up to nine guests, Manatéa provides an ideal balance of privacy and social space that makes her perfect for larger groups, families, or friends seeking a shared adventure. The catamaran's generous beam and dual-hull design deliver exceptional stability, allowing even less experienced sailors to feel confident at the helm while enjoying smooth passage through the crystalline waters of the French Riviera. The shallow 1.20-meter draft opens access to hidden coves, secluded anchorages, and charming coastal villages that larger monohulls cannot reach—a major advantage for exploring the Hyeres archipelago and beyond. Onboard, the open-plan saloon and galley provide ample space for the whole party to gather, while the twin engines ensure reliable power for maneuvering in tight spots and achieving consistent passage-making capability. The furling sails make deck work manageable, while the expansive side decks and robust safety rails create confidence underway. Based in Hyeres, a gateway to some of France's most stunning sailing destinations, Manatéa is your ticket to exploring the Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and the emerald waters of the Îles d'Hyères. Whether you're seeking leisurely day sails, island-hopping adventures, or a multi-week exploration of the Mediterranean coast, Manatéa delivers the comfort, space, and sailing performance that transform a vacation into an enduring memory.
