The successor to the Lagoon 400, the Lagoon 40 catamaran is an ergonomic, medium-sized catamaran - and a fan favorite among all kinds of sailors. Delivering both easy maneuverability and spaciousness, the Lagoon 40 is an ideal yacht for island-hopping, while also offering enough comfort and room for longer, mile-building trips. 

Plus, it’s shallow draft means you can explore a wide range of anchorages and secluded bays that you wouldn’t be able to access with a different vessel.

At 40 feet long, the Lagoon 40 catamaran combines slick design from Nauta Design with all-star efficiency for a sailing experience that’s fast, comfortable, and roomy.

First, the catamaran’s large aft does double duty with its spacious swim platform that enables both safe boarding and easy access to the tender. Meanwhile, at the bow, you can find inset storage for fenders and ground tackle, as well as an anchor locker and a comfortable lounging area for passengers and crew. 

Also noteworthy: The bow includes a midship cleat, an often-overlooked feature that goes a long way in affording easy maneuverability. 

While aboard your Lagoon 40 catamaran, you’ll also be able to note the excellent visibility at the helming position. From here, only a small portion of the port bow is a blind spot, so you can count on a clear view of the sails throughout your journey. 

From aft to bow, the Lagoon 40 layout is the cream of the crop among luxury catamarans and a great choice for sailing holidays for experts and novices alike.

Planning a family gathering aboard the Lagoon 40? Another advantage of the Lagoon 40 is its versatility: Whether you’re preparing a sailing holiday for an intimate group or you’d like to travel with a large party of friends and/or family, this catamaran can deliver. 

The Yacht4Less recommended Lagoon 40 "Deva" available for charter from Corfu in Greece, has four cabins and four bathrooms, making it a top choice among sailors, with a convertible/lowerable saloon table that can accommodate 2 more guests - max 10 in total for a bareboat catamaran charter. Plus, this yacht boasts a bevy of large hull windows, so all of your guests can enjoy natural light and clear-water views throughout your sailing journey. 

Finally, in the galley you’ll find a functional L-shaped work surface area, complete with a three-burner stove, a refrigerator and freezer, and ample space to store provisions.


Luxury sailing equipment & extras

 

The Lagoon 40 Deva delivers the perfect balance of comfort, safety, and performance - making your Corfu yacht charter a guaranteed success. With amenities such as air conditioning, a generator, solar panels, a dinghy with outboard engine, a teak cockpit, and a fully equipped galley with coffee machine and oven, the Yacht4Less-recommended Deva is designed for smooth, stress-free sailing.

Of course, you can always elevate your holiday experience even further.

Have you considered requesting a skipper or even a full crew? With a captain, chef, and hostess on board, you can relax from the moment you step onto the catamaran. Your captain will chart the course and handle navigation, your chef will prepare gourmet meals each day, and your hostess will ensure the interior stays immaculate throughout your trip. It’s the ultimate way to enjoy a luxury sailing holiday in Corfu and the Ionian Islands.


Where can you charter a Lagoon 40 catamaran?

 

Our top pick for a sailing holiday with the Lagoon 40 catamaran? We recommend the Lagoon 40 Deva, available for charter in Corfu, one of the most sought-after destinations for an Ionian sailing holiday.

Step aboard the Lagoon 40 Deva from Gouvia Marina, just 7 km from Corfu International Airport, and set off to explore the crystal-clear waters and lush green islands of the Ionian Sea. With frequent direct flights from across Europe, Corfu is easily accessible, making it the ideal base for a catamaran rental in Greece. Alternatively, you can also arrive by ferry from Italy (Bari, Ancona, Brindisi or Venice) directly into Corfu Port, which is only a short drive from the marina.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a holiday with friends, a Lagoon 40 Corfu yacht charter combines comfort, performance, and the perfect location for exploring Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkas, and beyond.

Pricing for the Lagoon 40 luxury sailing catamaran

 

Like most sailing holidays, the price varies depending on the time of year you decide to travel.  *Prices below are indicative and may change without notice. 

For a sweet spot that combines great sailing with moderate prices, we suggest booking a trip in September or October, when the sea is still warm and the weather is amiable, but the summer rush has died down. During these months, the Lagoon 40 catamaran price for a week-long sailing trip is around £4,000 plus extras. To catch the other end of the shoulder season, we also recommend booking your Lagoon 40 catamaran charter during April or May, when there are long hours of daylight and rising temperatures, for a lower price. 

July and August are, of course, the most popular time for tourists to set sail from Corfu, when a week-long sailing holiday aboard the Lagoon 40 (2025 built) "Deva" will cost about £6,500 plus extras.

Of course, these prices don’t include our Yacht4less reductions, so make sure you reach out to our expert yacht charter consultants!
