Maloja (Isla 40)

Ideal for families The Maloja suits groups of up to 8 seeking comfort and modern convenience on a compact catamaran. Four cabins with good sleeping capacity make it a natural choice for families or friends wanting private berths without booking a larger, pricier vessel.

Well-equipped modern cat This 2023 Isla 40 ticks the boxes: solar panels and inverter mean efficient power management, the autopilot and chart plotter reduce fatigue on longer passages, and the teak cockpit with cushions and bimini create a genuinely pleasant outdoor living space. The lazy jack system also makes sail handling easier, a genuine comfort feature on a catamaran.

Solid value proposition At this size and spec, you're getting a new build with thoughtful equipment that justifies the charter rate. The Mallorca base offers excellent accessibility for transatlantic and European flyers, with short airport transfers and reliable English-speaking support from Yates.

One realistic note: At 11.9 metres, this is still a relatively compact cruising cat, galley and cabin spaces are efficient rather than sprawling. If your group prioritizes maximum elbow room and resort-style comfort, stepping up to a 45+ footer might suit you better, though the Maloja performs beautifully for its size.
