Alkaid is a 2023 Lagoon 42 catamaran based in Golfo Aranci, a charming coastal town on Sardinia's northeastern shore. This modern sailing platform offers the perfect balance of comfort and capability for exploring the crystalline waters and hidden anchorages of the Tyrrhenian Sea. With four well-appointed cabins and room for up to twelve guests, Alkaid suits groups of friends, extended families, or multiple couples seeking a week of effortless Mediterranean sailing without the constraints of a rigid itinerary.

The catamaran's generous beam and dual-hull design create exceptional stability and interior space—a hallmark of the Lagoon design philosophy. Below deck, air conditioning keeps the cabins cool during warm afternoons, while the galley is equipped with a full refrigerator and espresso machine for morning rituals. Four ensuite heads with electric toilets ensure comfort for all guests, and the onboard water maker provides independence during extended anchorages. Navigation is intuitive thanks to the integrated GPS chartplotter and autopilot, allowing you to focus on the sailing rather than the mechanics.

Topside, the teak cockpit becomes the heart of life aboard—a sprawling social hub where you'll gather for sundowners, meals prepared from local Sardinian produce, and evening conversations under starlit skies. Comfortable cockpit cushions and integrated speakers create an inviting atmosphere, while the twin 57-horsepower engines provide reassuring power when the wind drops or when entering tight anchorages. From Cala dei Sardi, a typical week unfolds across emerald bays and granite-backed coves: Maddalena's protected waters, the dramatic cliffs of Caprera, and lesser-known anchorages where the seabed glimmers beneath crystalline shallows.

A week aboard Alkaid is a rhythm of unhurried exploration—lazy mornings at anchor with coffee on deck, afternoon swims in secluded coves, and evenings where the only sound is water lapping against the hulls as the sun melts into the horizon.
