About this yacht
KING OF DIAMONDS is a 17-metre Lagoon 560 S2 catamaran built in 2016 and comprehensively refitted in 2024, offering the ideal platform for discerning guests seeking an elegant Mediterranean sailing experience. This flybridge catamaran exemplifies Lagoon's proven family-friendly design philosophy, combining sociable deck spaces with well-appointed interior accommodation for up to ten guests across five suites—one master, three double cabins, and one twin cabin.
The yacht's distinctive architecture maximizes al fresco living, a hallmark advantage of the catamaran form. The flybridge provides a sheltered dining and lounge area with sun pads and helm controls beneath a soft bimini, while the expansive foredeck features a sunken lounge and two large forward trampolines. The main deck aft cockpit serves as the primary gathering space, appointed with covered dining, a long bench sofa, bar service, and direct access to the swim platform. Generous side decks facilitate easy movement between areas, and the hull's 9.45-metre beam offers exceptional stability and interior volume.
Below deck, the open-plan main salon flows seamlessly into the dining area, fostering the convivial atmosphere essential to successful group charters. The galley is well-equipped, supporting the preparation of bespoke menus throughout your voyage. Air conditioning and WiFi throughout ensure modern comforts without compromising the sailing experience.
Powered by twin 110HP Yanmar engines, KING OF DIAMONDS delivers a cruise speed of eight knots with a ten-knot maximum, providing efficient passage-making between anchorages. The catamaran's shallow draft and responsive handling make her particularly well-suited to the Greek islands, where protected anchorages in the Cyclades and beyond offer exceptional clarity and charm.
A professional crew of two manages all navigation, vessel operations, and guest services, allowing you and your companions to focus entirely on the experience. The yacht's 2024 refit ensures all systems and furnishings meet contemporary standards, while her comprehensive water toys and snorkelling equipment encourage active engagement with the crystalline Mediterranean.
Based year-round in Alimos Marina, Athens, KING OF DIAMONDS is ideally positioned for charters throughout Greece's legendary cruising grounds. Whether seeking cultural immersion in the Cyclades, active water sports, culinary exploration, or simply peaceful anchorages under star-filled skies, this Lagoon catamaran provides the perfect vessel and environment. Weekly charter rates begin at €16,500, with bespoke itineraries tailored to your preferences and available year-round.

What is included in the charter rate for KING OF DIAMONDS?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 2, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for KING OF DIAMONDS before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter KING OF DIAMONDS?+
KING OF DIAMONDS charters from €20,000 per week in low season and €22,000 in high season — a difference of about 10% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
