HAPPY is a Lagoon 55 sailing catamaran delivered in 2024, and her appeal is the particular ease that a modern cruising catamaran brings to a week in the Greek islands. She is wide, stable and level, with an open-plan main deck that flows straight from the cockpit into the salon, so the inside and outside of the yacht become one living space. For a family or a group of friends that matters more than any single feature: meals, card games and lazy afternoons all happen in the same bright, connected area, with the islands framed in glass on every side.
The main deck is the heart of the yacht. The salon runs in pale wood and cream, wrapped in windows, with a soft seating area beside the dining table and a full galley along one side, open to the living space and well equipped for a crew cooking for eight. Step aft and the cockpit carries a dining table under the flybridge overhang, shaded and level with the salon, the natural centre of life aboard a catamaran. Forward, the foredeck is given over to sun pads between the hulls, a broad open space to lie out in the breeze with clear water below the trampolines, while a flybridge above holds the helm and a further sun deck.
Belowdecks she sleeps eight guests in four double cabins, one in each corner of the hulls. Each is finished in warm wood with a wide bed set against the hull, a window at the waterline and its own ensuite, bright and private without feeling tight. The layout gives every couple their own space and keeps the social life of the yacht on the main deck where it belongs. A crew of three looks after the sailing, the cooking and the guests, enough to make the week effortless while keeping the atmosphere easy and informal.
Under way she is gentle and forgiving. She cruises comfortably at around eight knots and motors a little quicker when the wind drops, and her width means she sails flat, so guests who are new to sailing settle quickly and those who know boats can take a turn at the helm. At anchor she sits steady, with a swim platform and water toys off the stern and shallow draft that lets her tuck into bays a deeper yacht would avoid.
For charter, HAPPY is based at Marina Alimos in Athens, the ideal jumping-off point for the Cyclades and the Saronic islands, with the Greek coast and its quieter anchorages a short sail away. She suits families and groups of friends who want an active, relaxed week on the water at a sensible price, with the stability and space of a catamaran and the simplicity of a small, well-run crew. Delivered in 2024 and offered from 22,000 euros per week, she is an easy, good-value way to see the Aegean under sail.
The week tends to find its own gentle shape. Mornings start with a swim off the stern, the middle of the day drifts between the foredeck sun pads and a long lunch in the shaded cockpit, and the evenings settle into the open salon as the anchorage quietens. Because the main deck is all one space, nobody is ever shut away from the group, and the small crew keep the sailing and the cooking running without ever being in the way. For first-time charterers and seasoned sailors alike, HAPPY makes the islands feel close and the days feel long.
