What Makes the Lagoon 46 Exceptional?

Phil and Louise both agree: the Lagoon 46 offers unmatched comfort and space. For Phil, the helm area is a standout feature. “We can put the whole family up there anytime we’re travelling, and the general space is fantastic,” he says. Louise echoes the sentiment, adding, “My favourite thing about the Lagoon 46 is taking the grandkids out, whale watching, and spending family time onboard.”

Creature Comforts Like No Other

Life onboard the Lagoon 46 is anything but basic. Equipped with a cutting-edge electrical system, efficient solar panels, and a reliable water maker, it ensures no compromise on comfort. “Sleeping in a queen-size bed and taking showers without limits—it’s the little luxuries that make it so enjoyable,” says Phil.

Why Choose a Lagoon 46?

Phil and Louise initially considered an older Lagoon 450 but after comparing them side by side they quickly saw the advantages of upgrading to the 46. “The difference between a new boat and an older one is significant. With the 46, most of the stress is gone, especially when you’re far offshore or away from home,” says Phil. It’s a choice they’re glad they made.

Sharing the Lagoon 46 Experience

Phil and Louise love showcasing their boat to people considering buying a catamaran, a number of friends have already bought Lagoons on their recommendation. “Our passion for the Lagoon shows when we take people out and share what we love about it,” she says. Phil adds, “I’m proud to show off the 46—it’s our favourite model and easy to talk about.”

Unforgettable Adventures

From the Whitsundays to Lady Musgrave Island, the Lagoon 46 has been their gateway to incredible experiences. Phil fondly recalls a night on Middle Percy Island: “We had goat stew around the campfire with the Lagoon 46 out front—it was sensational.” Louise, on the other hand, cherishes local outings like whale watching and relaxing with family at Tipplers.

A Look Back on Their Adventures

Since the Escapade, Phil and Louise headed to the Whitsundays for three months with a group of friends, enjoying a relaxed and leisurely pace. They cruised up to Yeppoon, “No time frames, no stress—taking a day or a week wherever we felt like,” said Phil. “It was fantastic, we loved every minute.”

More recently, they spent five days at Tangalooma, taking their grandkids diving around the wrecks. “We were pinching ourselves,” Louise said, reflecting on the incredible experience.

The Best Kept Lagoon 46 For Sale

For Phil, the Lagoon 46 has been more than just a passion. He has dedicated 100 hours a week, seven days a week to maintaining the boat, with the goal of making it the best pre-loved Lagoon 46 available.

“I had a mechanic looking at the engine who couldn’t believe how clean it was. I polish under the engines monthly. Every week, I start my Monday cleaning the boat,” he shared proudly.

It’s this unparalleled dedication that has left the boat in new condition. As they prepare to reluctantly sell, Phil summarises: “It is an awesome boat, we can’t fault it, and it will be sad to see it go.”

Final Thoughts

For Phil and Louise this is not the end of the journey, Phil said, “We love TMG and would love to stay within the family and hopefully we will be at the next Escapade.”
