The Lagoon 40’ is a modern, beautifully maintained catamaran offering private charters on Banderas Bay, with more deck space, more stability, and more comfort than any monohull sailboat in Puerto Vallarta.
Catamarans are the preferred choice for guests who want to spend their day on the water in genuine comfort. The Lagoon 40’ features a wide open deck for sunbathing, a trampoline net at the bow for lounging over the water, and a spacious indoor salon for those who want shade or shelter. She barely rocks even in choppy conditions, ideal for first-time sailors or guests who are prone to seasickness.
With a dedicated crew and access to all the best spots on Banderas Bay, the Lagoon 40’ is one of our most popular boats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a catamaran over a sailboat?
Catamarans are wider, more stable, and have significantly more deck space. They’re ideal for guests who want to relax and move freely, or anyone who prefers a smoother, steadier ride.
How many guests can the Lagoon 40’ fit?
Up to 12 guests. A great size for families, groups of friends, or small corporate outings.
What is the trampoline net?
The bow of the catamaran has a mesh net stretched between the two hulls. It’s a favorite spot to lounge directly above the water, you can feel the sea beneath you and watch it pass below.
Is the catamaran good for guests who get seasick?
Yes, catamarans are notably more stable than monohulls. The wide beam prevents the rocking motion that causes discomfort, making the Lagoon an excellent choice for first-time sailors.
What time do we depart?
Most charters depart in the morning from Marina Vallarta. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before departure, a crew member will meet you at the dock.
What is the cancellation policy?
A 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking and is non-refundable if you cancel. If we cancel due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, you’ll receive a full credit or reschedule at no cost.
