About Bareboat Catamaran RAPALA
RAPALA is a Lagoon 400 S2 catamaran purpose-built for independent sailors seeking genuine performance alongside comfort. With six cabins accommodating up to ten guests, she delivers the rare combination of volume and agility that defines this acclaimed platform. The 2014-built hull benefits from Lagoon's signature balance in proportion and systems, offering the space and ease of handling that make extended Adriatic voyages genuinely attainable for experienced crews.
The interior reveals thoughtful design choices. Hull windows and opening ports flood the salon and galley with natural light, whilst the free-flowing cockpit transitions seamlessly to the saloon for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Ample headroom throughout and a dedicated small office amidships accommodate the modern sailor's needs. Storage is generous and logically placed, reducing the friction of extended cruising.
Onboard entertainment and practicality span an AM/FM/CD stereo system with cockpit speakers, a charcoal BBQ for alfresco dining, and a forward double trampoline for relaxation at anchor. A 10ft tender with outboard and snorkelling equipment enable exploration of Croatia's hidden coves and reef systems. Whether you're seeking tactical sailing or leisurely cruising, RAPALA performs both without compromise.

The Charter Experience
The Adriatic coast demands a vessel that balances seaworthiness with ease of handling, and this Lagoon excels in both. Base yourself in one of Croatia's vibrant ports—Trogir, Hvar, or Rovinj—and navigate crystalline waters dotted with limestone islands. The catamaran's shallow draft and predictable handling make it ideal for discovering anchorages inaccessible to deeper keelboats. Bareboat charter here suits confident crews seeking autonomy; the predictable summer conditions, established waypoints, and well-stocked provisioning hubs make the Adriatic forgiving and rewarding.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might depart from the Dalmatian coast, sailing south towards the Paklinski Islands off Hvar, where shallow anchorages and turquoise waters reward early arrivals. Continue to Korcula and Mljet, exploring pine-fringed coves and Roman ruins accessible by tender. Return via the Elaphiti Islands, where protected waters and village restaurants offer respite. The Lagoon's predictable performance makes this cruise achievable in seven days with time to anchor and swim rather than simply transit.
