Real boat stories

Six months into their liveaboard journey, Kristy, Darren, and their three kids are fully immersed in Lagoon life aboard Pacific High. From baby-friendly design to independent space for each child, the Lagoon has made this lifestyle not only possible, but enjoyable for the whole family.
“Lagoons are perfect as a liveaboard option. They have plenty of room, and everyone in the family has their own space, the boat never feels cramped.
The boat itself is actually pretty baby-friendly… cupboards have push buttons, furniture is fixed, and with the safety nets and gates, it’s a secure environment for Frankie.
We’ve had some amazing experiences. Sailing is something we all love, and most importantly, we all really like being together and enjoying quality family time.”

For Justin and Kelly Felter, the Lagoon 380 is more than just a yacht, it’s their home, their office, and their gateway to a global adventure. Designed for simplicity, comfort, and long-term liveaboard life, the 380 has proven to be the perfect vessel for their dream lifestyle.
“We chose the Lagoon 380 for her spacious interior, it’s like a floating apartment with so much indoor and outdoor living space. She’s super easy to sail and has everything we need to live and work on board comfortably.
We’ve added solar, a watermaker, and batteries to live off the grid, and we still can’t believe how peaceful it is. We wake up to sunrises, dolphins, and views from our cabin that beat any office window.
To be honest, if we’d known how great life is on a Lagoon, we’d have made the change years ago.”

For over 15 years, Steve and Katrina have trusted Lagoon catamarans to bring their unique vision to life. Through their award-winning business, Sailaway Port Douglas, they’ve offered guests world-class access to the Great Barrier Reef, combining luxury, sustainability, and adventure aboard their fleet of Lagoons.
“With Lagoon, we’ve been able to live our passion for sailing, nature and the environment. I knew from the start these boats had the quality and design to support our vision. Our Lagoon 500 has done the equivalent of three laps around the world and still sails beautifully. The Lagoon 560 gives us confidence in all conditions, even 80-knot winds in the Bahamas.
These are not just boats, they’re our way of delivering comfort, authenticity and a message about sustainability to every guest who steps aboard.”

When Grant and Mary Forbes swapped their monohull for a Lagoon, they set out from Geelong with limited experience and an open mind. Nearly a decade later, they’ve cruised across Southeast Asia, tackled rough seas, joined international rallies, and turned their Lagoon into a floating home, studio, and gateway to adventure.
“Our Lagoon 440 is fast, safe and incredibly comfortable. She handles rough seas with confidence and motors beautifully through calm conditions. It feels more like a floating apartment than a boat, with everything we need for long-term cruising.
We weren’t experienced sailors when we left Melbourne, but this boat has taken us all the way through Indonesia, Malaysia and beyond. She’s stable, well-designed, and lets us live this lifestyle without stress. It’s the perfect retirement, adventurous, inspiring and full of great company.”
