ANDARE AVANTI

Set up for families and groups out of Athens, with two semi-double cabins kitted for children alongside four full doubles, plus junior water skis and a pair of paddleboards on the swim platform. ANDARE AVANTI is a Lagoon 50 from 2020, refitted in 2023, drawn by VPLP with exterior lines by Patrick Le Quement and interior by Nauta Design.

She measures 14.75 metres on deck, with an 8.10-metre beam and a shallow 1.40-metre draft that opens up the coves and beach anchorages of the Cyclades. Twin 57HP diesels handle the engine work, and the boat is based year-round at Marina Nea Peramos on the Athens coast.

Ten guests sleep across six cabins: four full doubles and two semi-doubles for one adult or two children, served by five bathrooms. The Nauta interior runs to a bright salon with panoramic windows over the cockpit, a working galley up, and the open salon-to-cockpit flow that defines the model. The Lagoon 50 took Multihull of the Year in its 40-to-50-foot class for 2018.

A crew of two runs the boat: captain and hostess. The water sports kit covers kids and adults, with a kayak, two paddleboards, a wakeboard, adult and junior water skis, a towable tube, snorkel gear, and fishing tackle. The tender shuttles guests ashore and tows the wakeboarders and skiers.

From Nea Peramos she works the Cyclades through summer and the Saronic islands for shorter weeks, with a water maker on board for time off the beaten track.
