INSPIRING AND FUN STORIES
Why the Lagoon 42 Ticked Every Box for My Dream Voyage – Paul
For Paul Brown, choosing the Lagoon 42 was a natural next step in his sailing journey, sparked by earlier chartering experiences and trusted recommendations.
“I chartered a Lagoon 450 in Croatia… I had a fantastic couple of weeks on that and that’s probably where it all started from. I met a fellow that had a Lagoon 450 and followed his 5-year journey through the Med and the Caribbean. All the reports gave me the confidence to want to go into Lagoon. There were only a couple of real choices when I was looking, and Lagoon always came up as the one that ticked all the boxes. Very happy for sure.”

Whitsundays Family Adventure
This year for the 2020 Lagoon Escapade our Queensland manager Rowan McMahon was fortunate enough to attend the event by boat instead of staying onshore. What made this year even more special was to bring his wife Kylie and 5-year-old son Spencer along for the event to help setup and also enjoy some time in their old home of the Whitsundays.
Living the dream single handed onboard 50ft Lagoon – Mark
After selling his business, Mark Rolle set out to turn his dream of life at sea into reality. His Lagoon 500, Three Little Birds, became his full-time home, carrying him across Australia and the Pacific.
“When I first saw the Lagoon 500, I thought, ‘Wow, that’s a lot of boat.’ But it ticked all the boxes – liveaboard comfort, manageable for one person, and good performance. It’s the perfect way to isolate. I’ve spent nearly every night onboard in the last four years. Deploying the spinnaker is easy. I’ve led all the rigging back to the cockpit, and I’ve got a trip line if I need to depower instantly. It’s seriously changed my sailing experience for the better. I wanted a floating home, and Lagoon delivered.”

Lagoon Life During a Pandemic
Two Lagoon owners from opposite sides of the world in isolation onboard their Lagoon. While Greg and Sue make jokes about their state during lockdown in Queensland Australia Mick and Poppy try to stay healthy with fun and innovative activities onboard including Tour De Trim and Wimbledon on Water in Malta.
An inspiring story by Lagoon 380 owner – Theo
Theo Kuiters shares his incredible adventures onboard his Lagoon 380 and how he made owning his dream boat a reality.
“After looking all over Australia for 6 years, I even flew to Barcelona for a test sail. I was looking at the 440 but went smaller for single handed. Cats Paw was the 540th 380 built and the most bulletproof catamaran made to withstand the charter market. It is the type of boat that even none sailors can sail because it is super forgiving for people that make mistakes. The rigging is so strong, it honestly was the perfect first boat. These boats are built with so much reserve safety, even inexperienced sailors can sail without doing themselves a misery. Cats Paw once went up against a serious Caribbean storm travelling at 22kts with no sails up, seeking refuge in Columbia.”
Adding, “You can do anything you want in life as long as you help other people get what they want”.

Just do it! A Smooth European Pickup with TMG Yachts – Drew and Eloise
Picking up a new boat overseas can be overwhelming, but for Drew and Eloïse Hakin, TMG Yachts made the process seamless, from handover in France to remote support in Panama.
“TMG Yachts made buying this boat in Europe such a pleasant experience.
The boat is very well-thought out so it wasn’t difficult to pick up how to handle her. The TMG Yachts team are all very knowledgeable and their instruction was invaluable.
I would say if you want to do it, just do it… So many people put things off until retirement and then can’t achieve their dream when they get there.”

Why life is better lived on a Lagoon – Greg and Sue
Greg and Sue Harding are proud owners of a Lagoon 440 and lifelong sailors who have embraced the Lagoon lifestyle wholeheartedly.
“Our love affair with Lagoon started from day one. We always had in the back of our mind that someday we would own a catamaran. We knew the outstanding reputation of the Lagoon brand and the model we wanted… we just couldn’t afford to say no to a Lagoon!
The Lagoon is so safe… Sue’s 77 year old mum spent five weeks cruising with us. She didn’t want to go home! With a Lagoon, you can escape the modern world. This a lifestyle that takes away the stresses of the modern age. You can be as independent or as social as you want.”
