What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
Perfect for groups The Lagoon 40 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, four cabins sleep up to 10, making it ideal for splitting costs across multiple couples or a multi-generational crew. The catamaran hull design gives you stability, shallow draft, and plenty of deck space, so everyone gets breathing room.
Smart modern touches Solar panels and a refrigerator mean you can keep food fresh and reduce fuel burn, while the lazy bag and lazy jack make sail handling genuinely relaxed. Autopilot, Bimini top, and cockpit cushions show this boat is set up for comfortable cruising rather than racing, you'll appreciate that during long tropical passages or hot weather sailing.
Reasonable value equation At 2021 build with solid spec, Fil'eole sits in the sweet spot for catamaran charters: newer than older cats (which means fewer breakdowns) but not the newest premium pricing. The €5,000 deposit is standard market rate, and ACM Catamaran's perfect 5-star rating is encouraging, though note that's just one review, worth asking for recent client references.
Know the base location The charter base information isn't shown in your data, so confirm the location before booking, it'll affect your flight time from the UK, US, or Europe, and determine whether the boat suits your intended cruising ground. Ask ACM directly about airport transfers and whether the base has English-speaking support staff.

Where Charters Went
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Toulon, Hyères and the Îles d'Or during the 2026 season so far. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
