MANE ET NOCTE

Corsica and Sardinia through the summer, the Caribbean by winter. MANE ET NOCTE is a Lagoon Seventy 7 sailing catamaran from 2021, in refit through 2026, working a dual-season programme that ends with a transatlantic crossing every November.

She was drawn by VPLP for the naval architecture and Nauta Design for the interiors. At 23.8 metres she carries ten guests across four cabins. The master sits in one hull with its own fold-out balcony and hydraulic platform onto the water, two doubles handle the second hull, and a fourth cabin takes children or extra crew.

The saloon carries a Steinway & Sons piano, an unusual fitting for a sailing catamaran of this size. A wine cellar, an outdoor projector for films on deck, gym equipment, and a foredeck jacuzzi cover the rest of the relaxation side.

The watersports kit suits a sailing programme. Two Seabob F5 S, two paddleboards, a wakeboard, a wing foil, an inflatable sailing dinghy, plus snorkel and fishing gear. The tender is a Highfield 500 with a 100 horsepower Honda outboard, which handles the runs to shore and the toy-launch duties. A crew of four runs the boat year-round across two ocean basins.

Cruising speed under sail or engine is seven knots, the hull flies the British flag, and weekly rates run €72,000 in summer low season to €82,000 in winter high, plus expenses.
