Balance 5 is a 2024 Lagoon 42 catamaran based at Marina Frapa in Rogoznica, Croatia—a charming Adriatic gateway that opens directly onto some of the Mediterranean's most coveted cruising grounds. This modern, six-cabin vessel is purpose-built for groups and families seeking both comfort and freedom, accommodating up to 12 guests across four well-appointed heads and generous shared spaces that encourage easy living at sea.

The Adriatic around Rogoznica rewards exploration. From your home base, a week typically unfolds with leisurely passages to the nearby Dalmatian islands, where hidden anchorages and crystalline waters define each day. The catamaran's twin 57 hp engines and autopilot make navigation effortless, whether you're plotting a course to Hvar's vibrant harbor or seeking solitude in a secluded cove. The broad, teak-lined cockpit becomes your outdoor living room—a natural gathering place shaded by the Bimini top, where morning coffee (prepared in the onboard espresso machine) and evening aperitifs flow easily. Climate control throughout keeps everyone comfortable during warmer afternoons, while the ice machine ensures cold drinks are always within reach.

Balance 5 suits groups of friends or extended families who value both togetherness and personal space. The generous beam and dual hulls create a stable, spacious platform ideal for those new to sailing or simply wanting to relax without the motion of a monohull. A full generator, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the included tender mean you're never cut off from either comfort or adventure—drop anchor in a remote bay, then explore the shoreline by dinghy or simply drift with a book in hand.

Your week aboard culminates in sunsets anchored off pine-fringed islands, the smell of grilled local catch drifting from the galley, and the gentle lap of Adriatic waters against the hulls as conversation and laughter fill the evening air.
