In 2010, Mike Houston embarked on an extraordinary adventure that would take him across the globe, “After 13 unforgettable years of sailing, the Lagoon 440 has never let me down. It’s a forgiving, reliable boat that gave me the confidence to take on any challenge. My most cherished memories are the two years cruising the Med with my son – time I’ll never get back but will always treasure. To anyone thinking about it, my advice is simple, just get out there and do it.”

Joe, Rowan, and Vlasis from TMG Yachts embarked on an epic journey from the Gold Coast to Sydney aboard a Lagoon 46 catamaran. With mixed conditions the 46 performed incredibly, completing this trip in 48 hours.
Here’s why Lisa and Greg made the decision to buy a Lagoon 42 and why they are loving it., “We’d heard great things about Lagoons, and what stood out was how many owners stayed loyal – buying one Lagoon, then another, and another. That really spoke to us. The Lagoon 42 is the perfect fit for us as a couple, especially with the helm so well connected to the rest of the boat. Living aboard has been not only doable but genuinely enjoyable. From the Sunshine Coast to the Whitsundays, we’ve had so many incredible experiences already.”

Loving his new Lagoon 42, Ross explained, “The first time I saw the Lagoon 42 at the Sydney Boat Show in 2015, I knew it had everything I needed without the excess size. It’s perfectly balanced for what we wanted. From Shell Cove to the Whitsundays, she handled 20 to 25-knot winds the whole way. It’s been an incredible adventure.”

It’s been one hell of a trip. The Mediterranean offers a rich history, culture, and stunning landscapes, travelling through different countries and exploring the local ingredients and cooking techniques has been an incredible experience. I don’t think we’ll ever lose some of the friends we’ve met, and we’re all living our dream… Our favourite features on our Lagoon are the flybridge, Code Zero, water-maker and generator.”

Drew Hakin is no stranger to ocean crossings. After plenty of research and hands-on experience, he chose the Lagoon 42 as the perfect catamaran for his global adventure, and it hasn’t disappointed.
“We looked around quite a bit, and investigated the opposition! We went for the Lagoon based on a number of things. The 42ft is the right size for us, and she has a good feel when under sail. She has a good mix of features we wanted in a catamaran… the combination of layout and space was just what we were looking for. Importantly, the Lagoon 42 sails well short handed. I am used to a large monohull, sailing single handed. Comparably, the 42 is extremely easy to sail.
The 42 is a very, very nice boat. I’d be hard pressed to fault it. Usually with a new boat, after a while you find things you’d like to be different, but there’s little of that with the Lagoon, it has been very well thought through.”

Australian Lagoon owner James, celebrated after winning gold in the ARC and proving Lagoon’s sailing ability.
“It’s fast if you sail it well. In those first few days, we were averaging 10-15kts which is what gave us the advantage.” If anyone says a “Lagoon is just a floating apartment” or “doesn’t sail well” they are incorrect”

Joe’s after-sales support and expert guidance made all the difference, and the coordination with Vesseltec was seamless.”

“Meeting the TMG team and being welcomed into the family was the start of the journey. They took the time to understand us, who we are and what we want to achieve from our dreams. TMG assisted us with the technical, the practical and helped us to navigate the process from purchase to delivery and beyond to reach our aspirations. Now we are living our dream, and it’s thanks to TMG… The 46 is next level. She meets all of our needs to entertain our family and cruise the oceans of the world.” – Mike & Linda, Lagoon 46 owners.
