The Yacht

'Joy' is a Sailing Catamaran, accommodating up to 8 guests, available for crewed charter.

Since its debut in 2016, the new Lagoon Seventy 7 catamaran has been in record-breaking demand.

Built in France by CNB and designed by a super-star team of VPLP, Patrick Le Quément and Nauta Design, the Seventy 7 is the new flagship for builder Lagoon and boasts gentle and precise lines for a refined and harmonious overall look.

As an unbeatable choice for a bespoke yacht charter holiday, JOY combines pedigree design with luxurious styling, a spacious onboard layout and exceptional performance to create a perfect all-round yacht that is ideal for every kind of adventure on the water.

Finished to the highest standard, with superyacht DNA in its design, she offers extensive onboard spaces for its guests to enjoy.

Large open spaces, with an easy flow, make the most of the catamaran’s huge volume and huge windows flood the yacht with light.

Located on the main deck the huge main saloon forms the heart of the yacht, with sofas, a bar, dining space and entertainment systems.

Beautiful accommodation is on offer, with versatile configurations to suit a wide range of group sizes and modern and luxurious spaces for guests to retreat to.

A particular highlight is the master cabin, which includes a large ensuite, desk space, walk in wardrobe and generous living area.

Direct access from the main saloon and out on to the cockpit and foredeck adds to the exclusivity of the master cabin space.

Just like the interior, the three main exterior spaces are huge and provide the perfect base for outdoor living. Leading directly out from the main saloon, the large aft cockpit is home to a dining space, extensive seating and direct access up to the flybridge and down to the transom.

The forward cockpit includes informal lounge seating, perfect for sheltered relaxation, and provides direct access on to the trampoline net for relaxing and sunbathing. Moving upwards, the flybridge with hardtop – ideal for protection from the heat of the day – is yet another beautiful space with a navigation station, sunpads, seating and unspoiled views across the water.

SY JOY being a luxury catamaran for charter is perfect for water lovers and an especially impressive feature is the transom beach club, which opens up at water level to create a base for swimming and water sports, or as a tender dock or prime spot for guests to relax and enjoy the close proximity to beautiful, crystal clear waters.

A full sail inventory allows guests to appreciate the serenity of sailing between beautiful destinations.

A perfect all-rounder yacht, it is no surprise that the Lagoon Seventy 7 has been such an instant success story.

CHARTER on September 22-28, 2025 in Sicily / 4 guests from the US

Mr & Mrs N have asked me to pass on their sincere and heartfelt thanks for a wonderful trip to Sicily on board Yacht Joy.

They were extremely impressed by the beautiful yacht and the excellent service you and your Crew provided and were brimming with compliments when we spoke yesterday.

As Captain, you did a first class job in catering to our group's every need, ensuring their safety first whilst providing confident leadership, expert knowledge of the Aeolian Islands and a wealth of sailing experience. These all brought a high level of comfort to our group.

The entire Crew worked seamlessly together:

Chef provided delicious culinary delights at every meal, and went to great lengths to create a personal favourite cake in honour of Mr & Mrs N's wedding anniversary. Mrs N was personally touched by this kindness.

The First Mate was hugely experienced and gave excellent service throughout. The way he worked in tandem with you as Captain was extraordinary.

The Stewardess was superb, providing meticulous cabin service and was always there just when the thought of a coffee or a cool drink sprang to mind. Always anticipating our group's needs without being intrusive.

From the broker : This is Mr & Mrs N's sixth year of sailing through Europe primarily on Sunreef 80s with a crew of 4/5. Mr N was clear in highlighting you, Captain Marco, as the best Captain he has ever sailed with. You went above and beyond, from guiding me to create the best itinerary for our group, right through to taking the time to ensure our group's luggage met them seamlessly after they wished to wander through Taormina on their last morning.

We will have no hesitation in recommending Yacht Joy to our friends and colleagues under your leadership and hope to sail with you again in the future.

My best wishes and personal thanks to you and the entire Crew for creating memories of our lifetime for our group.

Charter on June 10-17, 2023 in French Polynesia - A group of 8 from Arizona

We had an unbelievable time on this charter! The crew blew us away with their level of service.
We just spoke with the rest of our charter group, and they are very excited to start planning for our next charter.
CJ was a spectacular captain and we would like our next captain to have similar knowledge about diving and marine biology.
The size of the catamaran was perfect during this charter.
There are no words to describe how wonderful things went!
We are at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora for a few days before we head home.
We actually invited the crew to join us for drinks last night because they were so fantastic!
Thanks,

CJ,
I wanted to reach out to thank you and the entire crew for a fantastic vacation.
We have been pleased by all the 2 person crews of our 3 prior ~50-foot charters and expected the same, but you far exceeded our high expectations. There is no comparison to be made with the televised soap opera expectations.
You have the perfect Captain demeanor; confident and in command, without being superior.
Your passion for the sea and its creatures is clear and inspiring, adding to our sense of adventure.

Lexi also could not be more perfectly charming, engaging, and helpful. The perfect steward.

Luke and Danika too were both a total pleasure to be around and helpful in every way. Danika's culinary skills are world-class-delicious.

Hoping to charter with you again and/or cross paths in the future.
Please forward our thanks and contact info to the rest of the crew and let them know they are always welcome to stay with us in Old Town Scottsdale.

Warmest regards,

Charter on April 2-9, 2023 / French Polynesia / American family of 8

The crew of JOY were well beyond our expectations. Captain CJ, a friendly South African, and his lovely wife Lexi, a Brit from Yorkshire have been in these islands on JOY for 5 years and know these waters exceedingly well. Luke, also a fully qualified Captain, was the ship’s engineer and did a great job keeping us safe and his partner Danica was the chef. We provided a bit of a challenge with three kids and a few dietary restrictions from some of the passengers. The meals were served family style, and were absolutely wonderful. Luke and Danica were also from South Africa.
The yacht was spacious, incredibly well laid out, and was finished beautifully. We had not been on a catamaran before. My wife and I have been on perhaps 25 or more cruises, but the catamaran was a real treat for us. It was incredibly steady during some windy crossings.
The absolute highlight of the trip was snorkelling these warm crystal blue oceans. Captain CJ took us to spectacular locations, where we swam with black tipped reef sharks. They are from about 3 feet to 7 feet, and are curious, but seem to be harmless. They bumped our legs to see if we should be lunch, and they swam right up to us. It was a bit nerve wracking at first, but as we got used to them, it was an incredible experience. We swam with endless types of tropical fish. Sort of like snorkelling in your dentist’s aquarium. Safety was always paramount, and the crew took incredible care of us. No one ever rushed us, and CJ always explained in great detail prior to us leaving the catamaran what we were to expect.
Getting into, and out of tenders is always tricky, particularly for us at age 70, but they made it safe and effortless. We snorkelled most days in spectacular locations.
There was one narrow channel between two islands where there was a slow moving current, a sort of lazy river. We snorkelled that lazy river two or three times each and saw endless tropical fish and colourful coral. The water is simply the best we have ever seen, and we have snorkelled around the world. All of the islands are surrounded by a coral barrier reef, perhaps two kilometres offshore. The water within this barrier reef is very calm. We went to a couple of local art galleries and a couple of pearl farms. This area produces amazing black pearls very sought after by jewelers around the world.
We were sad to say goodbye to the crew. We felt that we had made true friends, and we look forward to sailing with them again, perhaps in a different part of the world. After we got off the yacht at Bora Bora, we are at the Four Seasons Bora Bora in their world famous over water bungalows for 5 nights. It is everything you would expect from a tropical, world famous Four Seasons.
This was a world class trip, made particularly memorable by the crew and the yacht JOY”.

Cruising Grounds

Where Joy voyages

French Riviera

Monaco's Port Hercule, Cap Ferrat's villa coast, Cannes and Antibes in the central corridor, and Saint-Tropez at the west end. The French Riviera is the western Mediterranean's maximum-glamour yacht week: shorter passages, premium dockage, Michelin density, and the visible harbor theater guests are usually booking on purpose.

Italian Riviera & Tuscany

Portofino's harbor amphitheater, the Cinque Terre's cliff villages, Portovenere's painted waterfront, and the Tuscan islands south to Elba and Argentario. The quieter Italian week for guests who want village character, harbor restaurants, and lower-density anchorages without Amalfi's August intensity.

Sardinia & Corsica

Costa Smeralda granite coves and Bonifacio's white-cliff citadel six miles apart, the Strait between two islands cruised in a single afternoon — the Mediterranean the Italians and French keep mostly for themselves.
