Abalone (Lagoon 40)

Perfect for groups. The Abalone sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to split costs on a week away, and at €3,166/week, that's genuinely reasonable for a nearly-new catamaran of this size. The dual-hull design also means excellent stability and minimal seasickness, which matters when you're flying intercontinental to reach the base.

Well-equipped modern cat. You get the essentials and then some: autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, air conditioning and heating cover most climates, and onboard Wi-Fi keeps you connected between anchorages. The lazy bag (keeps the mainsail tidy), electric winches, and generator are all real comfort features that justify the newer build year.

One practical note: The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, which is oddly important when you're booking internationally, you'll want to confirm transfer times from the nearest major airport before committing. That said, Navy Jane's reputation is solid, so get in touch directly and they'll sort you with all the logistics details.

Honest value verdict. For a 2023 Lagoon 40 catamaran with four cabins and proper modern kit, this price sits in the sweet spot, neither a bargain nor expensive. You're paying fairly for newness, comfort, and group capacity.
