Yacht Delivery In France – The World Carries On – Caroline and Sven

Picking up their Lagoon in France during Covid, Caroline and Sven explained that the service with TMG Yachts stayed true,
” the service and professionalism from TMG Yachts (who have been there for us from day 1), the handover, Nicolas and the Lagoon commissioning team (despite having a reduced workforce and covid challenges) were faultless and second to none.

For Dean and his family, receiving their Lagoon 46 was the beginning of many sailing adventures to come.

Distances such as South East Queensland to the Whitsundays, or even out to the Pacific Islands.

The Layout, the Rig, the Reputation – Lagoon 40 Was the Obvious Choice – Mike

The Layout, the Rig, the Reputation – Lagoon 40 Was the Obvious Choice – Mike

Mike and his family purchased their Lagoon 40, Ticketyboo, for charter in the Whitsundays. After sailing through 35-knot winds and 3-metre swells during their delivery trip, the Lagoon 40 proved its capability. But for Mike, it was more than just performance that sold him on the brand.
“We chose Lagoon for a lot of reasons – the reputation, competitive pricing, and the new model’s smart layout. The sailing rig is definitely at the performance end, and we liked that too. Ultimately, it made sense for charter, and Lagoon ticked every box.”
