The Lagoon 38 catamaran is set to launch in 2025, marking an exciting new chapter for Lagoon. As a successor to the legendary Lagoon 380, one of the most successful catamarans ever made, the new Lagoon 38 delivers modern innovations while retaining the DNA that made its predecessor so popular.

If you’re looking for a pocket cruising catamaran that delivers big features on a manageable platform, the Lagoon 38 catamaran is the vessel for you. In this blog, we take an in-depth look at everything you need to know about the Lagoon 38 catamaran before it hits the water.

A Worthy Successor to the Lagoon 380

The Lagoon 380 was a best-seller for over 20 years, with more than 1,000 hulls produced. Its compact size, reliability, and ease of handling made it a favorite among cruisers worldwide. Given its reputation, Lagoon took time to ensure that the new Lagoon 38 catamaran lived up to the legacy.

After several years of development, Lagoon has introduced a brand-new design with modern styling, increased volume, and optimized performance—all without compromising the brand’s core values.

Interior & Layout: Smart Use of Space

Despite its 38ft length, the Lagoon 38 catamaran boasts interior volume comparable to a 40ft model. Thanks to innovative design elements, owners can expect more storage, improved cabin layouts, and increased headroom compared to the older Lagoon 380.

Cabin Configurations

Owners can choose between a three or four-cabin layout, catering to different needs:

• Three-cabin version: The starboard side features a large guest bathroom with a bigger shower and toilet area. The master suite on the port side includes a large desk, workstation or vanity area, a spacious forward berth and a full beam head.
• Four-cabin version: Offers a symmetrical layout with two cabins per hull, making it ideal for charter or family cruising.

Living Areas & Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow

A key focus in the Lagoon 38 catamaran is open-plan living. The saloon and cockpit merge into one space, providing multiple dining configurations. Depending on your needs, you can choose between:

• A full-length dining table that extends from the saloon to the cockpit, perfect for large gatherings.
• A more relaxed setup with a coffee table inside and a large dining table outside for alfresco meals.

The forward galley layout maximizes usable space, with a full-height fridge/freezer and large storage compartments.

Exterior & Deck Layout: More Space & Comfort

One of the biggest upgrades on the Lagoon 38 catamaran is its expansive stern platforms—the largest in its class. These provide effortless boarding and better access to the water.

• Flat, single-level cockpit and saloon deck for easy movement.
• Massive aft platforms and only one step make boarding from a dock or tender much simpler.
• Davits for a tender and optional solar panels for extended cruising.

The helm station features the classic Lagoon Sports Top design, providing excellent visibility and control while maintaining safety and protection from the elements with an optional canvas roof and clears.

Sailing Performance & Handling

The Lagoon 38 catamaran offers a balance between comfort and sailing capability. With a self-tacking jib and optional Code Zero or asymmetric spinnaker, handling is straightforward and efficient for both experienced sailors and newcomers.

• Twin Yanmar 29HP engines provide reliable power.
• 400L fuel capacity split between two tanks.
• Low boom for easy sail handling and packing.

As a proven blue-water cruiser, Lagoon’s previous models (such as the Lagoon 380 and 40) have crossed oceans and completed long-distance voyages, and the new Lagoon 38 is built to do the same.

Why Choose the Lagoon 38 Catamaran?

The Lagoon 38 catamaran is an exciting evolution of one of Lagoon’s most successful models. With its modern design, increased volume, and seamless living spaces, it offers big-boat comfort in a compact, easy-to-handle package.
