Charter & Rent a Lagoon 380 in the Amalfi Coast: Prices, Routes & 2026 Guide
The Lagoon 380 at a Glance: Technical Specifications
The Lagoon 380 is a legendary design by VPLP, known for its vertical windows that maximize interior space and provide 360-degree visibility from the salon. For groups looking at luxury boat rentals, understanding the dimensions helps in planning your berthing and comfort levels.
- Length Overall: 11.55 meters (37'11")
- Beam: 6.53 meters (21'5")
- Draft: 1.15 meters (3'9")
- Cabins: Typically 4 double cabins (plus 2 small bow peaks for crew)
- Berths: 8 to 10 pax
- Bathrooms: 2 heads (standard)
- Fuel Capacity: 200 Liters
- Water Capacity: 300 - 600 Liters (varies by specific hull)
The shallow draft of just 1.15 meters is a significant advantage when navigating the Amalfi Coast, allowing you to get closer to the shore in bays like Conca dei Marini compared to deep-keel monohulls.
Why the Lagoon 380 is Ideal for the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is characterized by steep cliffs and deep waters, but its charm lies in the small, hidden coves accessible only by sea. Chartering a Lagoon 380 in the Amalfi Coast provides a stable platform that minimizes rolling while at anchor—a common issue in the Mediterranean due to the wake of passing ferries.
Its wide beam offers a spacious cockpit for al fresco dining under the stars of Positano, while the trampolines at the bow serve as the ultimate sunbathing spot. Because the Lagoon 380 is under 12 meters, it often qualifies for lower mooring rates in premium marinas like Capri or Amalfi, where prices are calculated strictly by length and beam.
Rental Pricing for 2026: Low, Mid, and High Season
When renting a Lagoon 380 in the Amalfi Coast, prices vary significantly based on the week of the year. The following table outlines estimated weekly rates for a bareboat charter (excluding mandatory extras).
| Season | Months | Weekly Rate (Est. EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Low Season | April, May, October | €3,500 - €4,800 |
| Mid Season | June, September | €5,000 - €6,500 |
| High Season | July, August | €7,000 - €9,000 |
Bareboat vs. Skippered vs. Crewed: A bareboat charter requires a valid ICC or RYA Day Skipper license. A skippered charter adds approximately €1,400 - €1,750 per week plus food. A crewed charter on a Lagoon 380 usually involves a skipper and a hostess/cook, providing a more "all-inclusive" experience where the crew handles navigation, cleaning, and meal preparation.
One-Day Routes from Salerno and Amalfi
If you are booking a daily rental from Marina d'Arechi (Salerno) or Porto di Amalfi, the Lagoon 380 allows for a relaxed pace. A popular 8-hour itinerary includes:
- Departure: Salerno / Marina d'Arechi.
- First Stop: Cetara, a traditional fishing village, for a quick swim.
- Midday: Drop anchor at the Marmorata Waterfall near Ravello for lunch onboard.
- Afternoon: Cruise past the Fiordo di Furore and take photos of the iconic bridge.

Marinas, Mooring Fees, and Logistics
The Amalfi Coast is one of the most expensive regions for berthing in Italy. When planning your budget for renting a Lagoon 380 in the Amalfi Coast, account for these logistical costs:
- Marina d'Arechi (Salerno): A modern, full-service marina and the safest place to start your charter. Rates are moderate.
- Porto di Amalfi: Extremely limited space. Booking months in advance is mandatory for 2026. Expect to pay €150-€300 per night for a catamaran.
- Capri (Marina Grande): The most expensive marina in the world. Often exceeds €400-€600 per night for catamarans in August. Many skip the marina and stay on a buoy at Marina Piccola.
- Buoy Fields: Available in Nerano and Positano. These are often managed by local restaurants and include a water taxi service, typically costing €100-€150 per night.
Mandatory Extras and What is Included
When you receive a quote for chartering a Lagoon 380 in the Amalfi Coast, the base price usually includes the yacht rental and VAT. However, you must budget for the "Transit Log" or "Charter Pack," which typically includes:
- Final cleaning of the vessel.
- Bed linen and towels.
- Outboard engine for the dinghy.
- Cooking gas.
What is NOT included: Fuel (the boat is delivered full and must be returned full), mooring fees, food and beverages, and the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) if you are taking a fully crewed option. For a skippered Lagoon 380, expect to pay fuel costs of roughly €200-€400 for a week, depending on engine hours.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The sailing season runs from May to October. May and June offer long daylight hours and blooming landscapes, though the water can still be crisp. July and August are the peak tourist months with hot weather and very light winds, meaning you will rely more on the twin engines. September is arguably the best month, as the sea is warm, the crowds have thinned, and the "Mistral" winds provide excellent sailing conditions for a catamaran like the Lagoon 380.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a Lagoon 380 in the Amalfi Coast?
For the 2026 season, a weekly rental starts at roughly €3,500 in May and can peak at €9,000 in mid-August. Daily rentals, when available, generally range between €800 and €1,500 depending on the season and whether a skipper is included.
Can I sail a Lagoon 380 bareboat in the Amalfi Coast?
Yes, provided you have a valid sailing license recognized by the Italian authorities (such as the ICC or an RYA Day Skipper). You must also demonstrate sufficient experience handling a catamaran, as the 6.53m beam requires precision when docking in crowded Italian marinas.
Is the Lagoon 380 big enough for 10 people?
While the Lagoon 380 can technically sleep 10 using the convertible salon table and the bow peaks, it is most comfortable for groups of 6 to 8. This allows everyone to have a cabin and ensures there is enough space in the cockpit and salon for communal meals without feeling overcrowded.
Is fuel included in the charter price?
No, fuel is never included in the base charter price for a Lagoon 380. You will start with a full tank and are expected to refill it at the end of your trip at the marina fuel station. Catamarans are generally fuel-efficient, but costs will depend on how much you use the engines versus the sails.
