Liveaboard world cruiser Saskia explains what she loves most about her floating home, “We were drawn to the Lagoon 46 for so many reasons, but the moment we stepped on board, it just felt right. The flybridge is our favourite place, it offers a 360-degree view that makes navigation easier, and it’s also the perfect space to share with friends or escape with the sea. Inside, the Lagoon truly feels like home. The spacious layout, beautiful design, and thoughtful storage make a world of difference when you’re living aboard. You spend so much time on your boat, you have to love the interior, and we absolutely do.”

After taking delivery of their new Lagoon, the Archers reflected on their experience. “The handover with TMG went without a hitch.  We had a very warm welcome and nice introduction to a jet-lagged John Cowpe.  Thereafter, John Gamlin spent time aboard answering questions and helping to ensure the sail rigging was accurate and in good shape.  Overall, we were extremely pleased with the handover from TMG.”

For the Jones family, picking up their brand-new yacht in Les Sables-d’Olonne marked the beginning of a long-dreamed-of adventure. Thanks to TMG Yachts, what could have been a daunting overseas handover became a joyful, seamless experience that exceeded all expectations.
“From the moment we arrived in France, the experience felt curated and considered. The boat exceeded all expectations, not just the pristine condition and that magical new boat smell, but the warmth of the welcome, the attention to detail, and the sheer effort TMG had gone to on our behalf. TMG Yachts had worked closely with commissioning agent Sailing Atlantic Services to ensure Sabella was turnkey ready. Even the third-party tender was delivered, inflated, and installed without a single request from the owners.
John Cowpe kindly came over from Sydney to do the handover. We cannot express the amount of gratitude we feel towards this gentleman and his company, which has taken a complex and potentially traumatic process and turned it into something of deep joy for our family. All the little extra details and thought… the help from SAS and the rest of the commissioning team… I’m speechless. Lara and I are just over the moon with how we’ve been treated here. It made me feel really special and really lucky to be able to experience something like this. Every little detail was thought of.”

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

The handover of Serenity, the Johnstons’ new Lagoon 42, was a truly memorable experience, “We are incredibly thankful to TMG Yachts for the amazing handover of our Lagoon 42. From our first conversations with Joe Fox to delivery day, the whole process was outstanding. Joe’s after-sales support and expert guidance made all the difference, and the coordination with Vesseltec was seamless.”

After two years aboard a Lagoon 52 sailing catamaran in the Mediterranean, Peter Rawson decided it was time to return to his motor yacht roots. Seeking comfort, efficiency, and dependability, he turned to the Lagoon 630MY, and hasn’t looked back since.
“I originally bought the Lagoon 52 to try something different and planned to sail across the Atlantic. But I quickly realised I had little patience for the Mediterranean’s unpredictable winds. As a lifelong motor yacht owner, I couldn’t resist the comfort and control of the Lagoon 630MY. I chose Lagoon because it’s a trusted and well-recognised production brand, and the fuel efficiency of the 630MY really stood out. At the time of purchase, I remember thinking, ‘This is a very green choice for a motor yacht.’”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Buying a boat overseas can be daunting, but for Liz and her partner, picking up their Lagoon in Europe was made effortless thanks to the team at TMG Yachts.
“A big tick to TMG… they’ve been fantastic with their support, if we’ve had any issues we get in touch with them and they go out of their way to help us so they’ve made buying this boat in Europe such a pleasant experience and yeah, I’ll give them a 10 out of 10, it’s been great… If you’re going to buy a Lagoon buy it from TMG.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

From France to Denmark, then around the world with his wife starting at age 69, Lars sailed over 50,000 nautical miles in the Lagoon 380. “I knew that more than 450 Lagoon 380s had been built, many were in charter, so this was a mature design. I know the works of VLVP, so we bought the 380 without having seen or sailed it! The boat has proved itself in every way, crossing oceans, winning both legs of the ARC Rally, and cruising through the Caribbean, Pacific, Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean. A Lagoon 380 will go well to windward in more than 12 knots of wind if you have folding props and good sails that do not stretch. You can buy any well-prepared Lagoon and sail around the world. Don’t hesitate to do it yourself, even if you are old, any Lagoon can do it.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Luke the skipper of TMG Yachts latest Lagoon SEVENTY 7 handover said, “We were looking for a boat that enables us to do long-range cruising in comfort in luxury but also still being run by a small crew. The owner came from a sailing background and was really keen to get back to it, so it kind of met all our requirements. The team running the SEVENTY 7 line do a fantastic job adding all the customizations, they were super helpful and always answer your phone call, the support’s been fantastic.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Long, a first-time catamaran owner, spent years researching before choosing the Lagoon 43 for his global sailing adventure starting in France.
“It has fully met my expectations. The size is just right for me, spacious but manageable, and very livable. After two months and over 2,000 nautical miles of sailing, I’ve been very happy with its performance. The interior layout, saloon design, semi flybridge, and included configurations perfectly suit my family’s lifestyle and the way we entertain friends on board.
If what you really want is a valuable, challenging, and rewarding life experience, then absolutely go for it. This kind of journey is absolutely worth it.”

Matt and Lanaia Donkin own a 40ft Lagoon, Espresso and liveaboard in Australia. When asked what they love about their Lagoon Matt said, “We had a monohull before we bought our cat… there’s the stability, livability, room and ability to entertain and despite having a reputation for not being a brilliant sailor most Lagoons get along really well and I think we surprise a lot of people we sail with. I think we pleasantly surprise people with how well our Lagoon gets along. So you’ve got that great mix of comfort and performance, it’s quite good in its way. We love our Lagoon for both those things.”
Lanaia added, “Living onboard our Lagoon, it has some amazing space… the stability… I think it’s just provided us with a home, to be able to do what we are doing. This lifestyle is a very different lifestyle to what most people live, so it provides us with that amazing home away from a normal home. We have been very lucky to have this experience and to enjoy it and to enjoy the East Coast of Australia and the amazing people and sights that are here.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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”.

After a life-changing accident left him a quadriplegic, former Paralympian Clifford Clark didn’t slow down, instead, he set his sights on the sea. Starting with Sailability in Cairns and now proudly helming a custom-modified Lagoon 42, Cliff has transformed what was once a dream into an extraordinary reality.
With support from TMG Yachts, Cliff tailored the Lagoon 42 to suit his needs, making it one of the only 42-footers that could accommodate a wheelchair across the entire deck, down each side, and into the saloon. From fitted lifts to electric winches and accessible rigging, every detail of the boat has been adjusted to empower his independence on the water.
“The 42 was the only catamaran that had enough space for me to wheel around the entire deck and through the galley. Being out on the water gives me access to places I’ve never seen before. It’s total freedom. I can’t wait to cruise the Whitsundays with my family, then sail up to Cairns and reunite with my Sailability mates. This boat has changed my life.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

For Anthony and Seryn Ryan, the Lagoon 630 has become more than a boat – it’s a luxurious floating home built for entertaining and everyday comfort.
“It’s very very easy, so much space, we just had 4 couples for 5 days, it was very chilled out and relaxed.
The flybridge is such a big beautiful place with a view, its elevated and we put permanent clears around ours so you can use it anytime, day or night, windy or raining, it doesn’t matter. You can sit up there have lunch, have dinner. We call it the first class lounge, you can’t go wrong.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

From founding Lagoon Escapades to welcoming fellow owners into their home, Greg and Sue’s passion for the Lagoon brand is evident in every word.
“Lagoon owners are not only an incredible community… they are actually more like a family! Whether you own an old or a new Lagoon, a large or a small Lagoon, in the Lagoon community there are no social levels, you are all equal. Everyone is just so happy and they love the brand, the boat, the service and, of course, the community.”
You actually connect with people. If you own a Lagoon, you’ll never be alone. You’ll have friends in every port… but you just haven’t met them yet.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Phil and Louise, Lagoon 46 owners, agree: “The Lagoon 46 offers unmatched comfort, the flybridge fits the whole family, the queen beds add luxury, and it’s perfect for whale watching, and family time. It’s our favourite model, and we’re proud to show it off! We love TMG and enjoy being part of the family.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

After packing up their Brisbane home, Bob and Margaret Kennedy set sail in search of a more adventurous lifestyle. Life aboard their Lagoon 420 Casablanca has given them comfort, freedom, and a community of like-minded cruisers.
“We’ve had Casablanca for six years and we wouldn’t swap her for anything else. Our last boat felt like camping, but the Lagoon feels like home.
There’s space for the whole family, it’s easy to sail as a couple, and everything is just smartly laid out. From solar power and a washing machine to a safe, open cockpit for the grandkids, she ticks every box.
This lifestyle wasn’t planned, one day Bob just said, ‘Let’s buy a boat,’ and now here we are, thousands of miles later, with no regrets. Lagoon gave us the confidence to go anywhere, and the comfort to truly enjoy it.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

David and Nerida Lee have been living aboard and sailing their Lagoon for years, speaking highly of Lagoon as a brand and their on water lifestyle.

“The fact that you can wake up every morning with different scenery… it’s the freedom! For us it was finding a boat that would take us and all our possessions and our Lagoon does that. We live and sail in paradise! “

For Matt Doncan and his family, life onboard their 40ft Lagoon is about freedom, adventure, and the confidence that comes with a capable cruising catamaran. From challenging offshore conditions to peaceful anchorages, their Lagoon has been a constant companion in unforgettable experiences along Australia’s east coast.
“We love our Lagoon, we’ve been out in some pretty tough conditions and it’s always brought us home safe, it’s fantastic under sail and great at anchor so we absolutely love our boat.
Our favourite thing about our boat is the places it can take us, we get to see a lot of the east coast that most people can only imagine to see and to be able to access it with a boat it’s just fantastic.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

For Dean and his family, receiving their Lagoon 46 was the beginning of many sailing adventures to come.
“So excited to have finally taken delivery of our Lagoon 46.. Rowan McMahon from TMG took us on a windy delivery trip up from the Gold Coast yesterday with lots of smiles onboard. Very happy with our clears, solar arch, Weber BBQ platform and tender setup. We can’t thank TMG enough for their support in getting Arena ready for our family sailing adventures.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

When caravanning didn’t quite fit the bill, Darren and Kristy Waters made a bold move, they sold up and bought a Lagoon 500. With three kids in tow and minimal sailing experience, they’ve embraced a new kind of freedom aboard Pacific High, their floating home designed for long-term adventure.
“We looked at smaller catamarans at first, but as soon as we stepped aboard the Lagoon 500, we knew it was the one. The layout is perfect for family life, there’s space for everyone to retreat to their own room, a galley upstairs where I can keep my kitchen gear, and the open living area makes it feel more like a home than a boat.
We wanted the kids to grow up in nature, not stuck to a routine, and Pacific High gives us that. We can anchor in beautiful places, let them kayak to the beach, snorkel, explore. We’re more present, more connected, and less distracted.
Honestly, it’s not as hard as people think. Our Lagoon is incredibly user-friendly, and the community you meet out here is amazing. If anyone is thinking of doing the same… just do it.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

The incredible story of a young family that left Cape Town, South Africa to sail the world… “It has been the biggest adventure of our lives. We say it is a “bucket list adventure being checked off one experience at a time”.
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

For the Atkinson family, life aboard their Lagoon 400 Katsumi is more than just a lifestyle choice, it’s a commitment to freedom, learning and family connection. For the past six years, Nick and Lyndy and their daughters, have called their 40ft catamaran home.
“We weren’t actively looking, but when we saw the Lagoon 400, it was exactly what we’d dreamed of for 20 years. Living aboard has given our daughters a childhood full of freedom, exploration and hands-on learning. Education happens 24/7 out here, from tying knots to marine biology to navigating with dad. Every time we leave the dock, it feels like a holiday, even if it’s just for one night.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Two-time Lagoon owners share how their love for the brand, “We fell in love with Lagoon when we bought our first catamaran, the 380. She was easy to sail and the perfect introduction to catamaran cruising. But the Lagoon 46 is next level. It gives us the extra space we need to entertain family and the confidence to cruise the oceans of the world. We chose it over the 42 for that little bit more room, and when we finally saw it in person, it was an emotional moment. You don’t realise how beautiful these boats really are until you see one in the flesh.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

For Karen and Guy, buying a Lagoon 450S during the height of the pandemic was full of uncertainty, but the unwavering support from TMG Yachts made the experience not only manageable, but memorable. “We highly recommend TMG Yachts. Rowan at TMG Yachts was responsive, professional and patient at every turn during this process, from the selection of boat options prior to purchase, all the way through the handover of the boat in France. Despite unforeseen delays due to Covid restrictions, Rowan happily adjusted our pick-up date and kept the boat ‘in process’ and safe at the Lagoon factory. A huge thank you for everything, TMG Yachts. We love our new home.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

From clueless first-timers to confident sailors, the Jones family have created a treasure trove of memories and a new sense of self over 6 months, here’s their advice to those thinking about setting sail.
“For other families considering this sort of adventure on a Lagoon, I’d advise them to stop stalking other sailing families on Facebook like I did for 10 years! Draw a line in the sand. Set a date. Decide to do it and off you go.
When Lara told me she wanted to buy a boat, we bought a boat and off we went. We found ourselves sitting in idyllic (and I don’t use that word lightly) anchorages almost every night.
Looking through crystal clear water at the bottom of the ocean 10m down and wondering if life could get any better… it just doesn’t. Would we do it again? In a heartbeat.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

John and Mariet are no strangers to the Lagoon community. With three Lagoons under their belt and decades of sailing experience, they’ve developed a deep appreciation for what sets these catamarans apart. Their latest love, Themis, a meticulously upgraded Lagoon 450F is a standout not just for its condition but for the thought and care John has poured into every detail.
“Themis looks brand new, I’m very particular. From the 2.4KW of solar to the lithium battery bank, we’ve never needed shore power. We’ve added a code 0 with continuous furling, an electric outboard on a lightweight dinghy, a watermaker, and a custom hardtop you can walk on. Everything is designed for real liveaboard comfort and off-grid freedom.
Lagoon boats are properly built for cruising, strong, smart, and easy to sail short-handed. I’ve owned other cats, but I keep coming back to Lagoon because they simply get better every time. For comfort, reliability, and thoughtful design, nothing else compares.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

After years of sailing the East Coast of Australia, Kerry and Bryn Wellington have truly made the most of life aboard their Lagoon 450S, Nautilus. Through it all they have felt welcomed by TMG Yachts, saying that being a Lagoon owner feels like joining a family.
Kerry says her favourite part of their Lagoon is, “the outdoor table and cockpit area, as well as the overall volume.”
While Bryn remarked, “The finish is really good, it’s a fantastic boat we love the space for all our water toys, including kite surfing gear, two SUPs and diving equipment.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Chris and Jill Rouse adore their Lagoon 40, “The connectivity between the helm and cockpit and then the interior is a game-changers. It’s not just about the space; it’s about safety too, especially with the prospect of grandkids onboard someday. With so much more space our, now adult kids are also more inclined to spend time with us onboard. The abundance of space, from the bedrooms to the bathrooms, exceeded our expectations. And let’s not forget the kitchen, it’s so functional. There is plenty of cupboard space, with a seamless transition to the outdoors.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Sailing the world wasn’t something Ian and Jackie originally imagined for themselves, but after falling in love with catamaran life in the Whitsundays, they began their search for the perfect liveaboard. “We really liked the Lagoon range, they had a great reputation and we were attracted by the sheer volume of Lagoons already in the water. We didn’t want a bespoke racing boat with little room, little support and no established community in place. After taking delivery in France, our Lagoon 450S quickly proved itself offshore giving us comfort and confidence every where we go.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Steve is sailing the Med on his Lagoon, “I’m very happy with it. I love that it’s a catamaran—the layout, space, and the sportstop. The freedom of being able to move around, to be with the wind and elements. For me it’s the peace, health, and independence—it’s exactly where I want to be. TMG Yachts made everything easy. The local presence in Australia reassured me, and Joe was great—he facilitated everything. The experience and support both before and after sale have been fantastic—I’m looking forward to many more years ahead.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Lagoon 40 owners Caroline and Sven are currently sailing the world after recently picking up Kwilena in France, “We had no idea that we would like living onboard full-time this much. For now home really is where our anchor drops and we cannot imagine going back to a normal life. We are definitely infected with the travel bug.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

For Martin the purchase of his 450F was a first for many things; his first Flybridge, his first catamaran and the first time he had ever sailed on the flybridge.
“I love the air on the flybridge, the overview when going into anchorages, harbours etc. Its’ like standing on the bridge of my own little ship”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

When John and Tania Notaras took delivery of their brand-new Lagoon 52F Paradise, it marked a bold step into a new chapter of boating. Having only owned smaller fishing boats, this was their first serious leap into life aboard a luxury cruising catamaran. What drew them in? The comfort, space, and the ability to entertain 12 people while still being easy to manage short-handed.
“The Lagoon 52F gave us the space we wanted without sacrificing ease of use. TMG Yachts were always available and did everything they could for us, it’s been a very supportive process. We’re still learning, but we already know we made the right choice. This boat is our own little escape – our Paradise.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Graeme and Linda Hubbard weren’t planning to buy a boat, but when they stepped aboard the Lagoon 39, they were instantly sold. With its apartment-style layout, sweeping views, and easy handling, Zephyr offered everything they were looking for in a cruising catamaran.
“As soon as we got onboard, we were sold, the sliding doors, the 360-degree view, and that big window by the kitchen sink made it feel like an apartment. The layout just works. There’s so much storage, the cabins are spacious, and the galley being up top makes a huge difference.
For our age, it’s the perfect boat. It’s easy to walk around, stable, and simple to sail, the electric winch is a dream. We’ve always had fun on boats but this is the easiest, most comfortable one yet. And the handover from Ross at TMG was fabulous, he went through everything in detail, which we’ve never had before.
This isn’t hard work. It’s easy and cruisey. We’ll see more people, share more laughs, and drink more bubbly aboard Zephyr, that’s what it’s all about.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Don McIntyre, Global Adventurer and Explorer, Life in Tonga with his Lagoon 450, Golden Globe, Royal Yacht Club Nomuka. Don describes the boat as “perfect, fantastic, incredible”— this “is the most fun” and “living on-board is like an apartment on the water”.
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Jenny and Ric patiently waited for the world to open post Covid, now grateful to be on their journey, “Jenny and I have to thank everyone, during our elongated gestation period, for not only your exceptional support but also your friendship. So a big thank you to TMG for delivering on all their undertakings.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Chris joined the TMG Yachts team on the maiden voyage of his Lagoon 40, “It was a pleasant trip, I was impressed by the boat’s capabilities and smooth sailing,” adding, “it is all about the people and Mark Loader was exceptional.” Join the journey.
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Six years after purchasing a Lagoon 40 for charter in the Whitsundays, Mike reflects on the decision that exceeded expectations.
“We approached the charter boat investment with a business mindset. We modelled everything conservatively, and honestly, it’s performed better than expected. Even through COVID, we averaged around 165 charter nights a year, and the boat held its value far better than we’d anticipated.
The Lagoon 40 hit the sweet spot, it’s the perfect size for the Whitsundays market. Less intimidating for first-timers, and a strong performer in bookings.
The boat was delivered basically ready to charter.
After six years, I’d absolutely do it all again. It’s been a positive experience from start to finish, and if we go again I’d be looking at the Lagoon 43.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

During any handover TMG Yachts provide two intensive days of training sp powners sail away confidently, Tony praised, “Thank you, TMG for all the wonderful support throughout this journey of mine. Thanks to Joe, thanks to John I’m very happy with the service and delivery, it’s all been magnificent.”

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Fourth time Lagoon owner John Pruim has just become the first Lagoon 50 owner in Australia!!! “Lagoon allows you to go from a to b safely, easily and reliably. There is a sense of comfort and space, perfect for being a house on the water…”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

With two young daughters in tow, Aaron and Lara Jones knew their boat needed to feel like home. For them, the Lagoon 42 offered the right mix of visibility, comfort, safety, and performance to support a life less ordinary.
“I wanted a big, spacious saloon that felt like a home, like a floating apartment. With a monohull, the kids would be down below where I couldn’t see them. On the Lagoon 42, we can steer the boat from the same level and the entire thing can be enclosed without feeling cut off. It’s perfect for a young family.
The shape, the layout, the feel, it all just works. It’s not all cocktails and sunsets, but this is the life we’re after.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Paul Rogers and his partner Kathy lived full-time aboard their Lagoon 450, Moor R&R, cruising Australia’s east coast with their three cats and a growing community of fellow Lagoon owners.
“Our Lagoon is supremely comfortable, we don’t even think of it as a boat, it’s home. The best thing about this lifestyle isn’t just the freedom or the view out the back door, it’s the people. There’s a whole community of Lagoon owners, and through the Lagoon events we’ve made stronger connections than we had living in one place for 40 years. When somewhere isn’t fun, we just move on. That’s the beauty of it.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

After 2 seasons of sailing the Med on their Lagoon 46 Mike and Linda shared what they love most, “The Lagoon 46 has given us a whole new level of freedom and comfort. I love the Code Zero sail for light wind performance, and Linda’s favourite spot is the flybridge, it’s where everyone gathers when we’re sailing. With a watermaker and generator on board, we’ve been able to explore more remote places and stay cool during the heatwaves in Greece. It’s made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

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.”
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Pierre Skinner, an Aussie Lagoon owner explains that as a 6’6″ man his favourite thing about his Lagoon is the volume and height, saying to anyone thinking about buying a catamaran, “I would say go for it, don’t wait just do it, worry about the rest later.”

After weathering winter in Les Sables, Aaron, Lara, and their two daughters began the journey south toward Lisbon. With support from TMG and a delivery skipper onboard, they put Sabella through her first serious ocean test, and came out stronger, more skilled, and inspired.
“Our Lagoon 42 handled the Bay of Biscay far better than expected. We set off in cold, windy conditions and motored straight into 20 hours of waves and headwinds, she didn’t skip a beat.
The real highlight was her downwind performance. With the Code 0 up, we were making half wind speed in light conditions, which I didn’t think was even possible in a cruising cat. Sabella just felt incredibly stable and capable throughout.
There were so many unforgettable moments, sunsets, dolphins, peaceful night watches, but most of all, we kept saying how lucky we felt to be experiencing it all from our own floating home. This boat has given us a new way of living.”

For Jeff D’Albora, the Lagoon 52 isn’t just a boat, it’s a vessel that enhances the entire journey. From the elevated helm position to the open-air freedom of the flybridge, Jeff shares why sailing Infinity II is about more than just reaching the destination, it’s about enjoying every moment along the way.
“There is more enjoyment in a sailboat in that the enjoyment is in the journey as much as it’s in the destination. That to me makes it a totally different experience. The advantage of a flybridge to me is the fact you are that much higher off the surface of the water, you can get better vision all around, a greater sense of being on-top of the whole thing and I do enjoy being out in the sun most of the time.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

As the Jones family settled in for their final month in Lisbon, they experienced the highs and lows of boat ownership. Between technical upgrades and toddler meltdowns, they found beauty in the chaos and joy in the everyday rhythms of life aboard a Lagoon 42. Aaron tells us “…living on Sabella is wonderful. Whilst much smaller than an Australian house, we each have our own space and it doesn’t feel cramped.”

Mike and his family purchased their Lagoon 40, Ticketyboo, for charter in the Whitsundays. After sailing through 35-knot winds and 3-metre swells during their delivery trip, the Lagoon 40 proved its capability. But for Mike, it was more than just performance that sold him on the brand.
“We chose Lagoon for a lot of reasons – the reputation, competitive pricing, and the new model’s smart layout. The sailing rig is definitely at the performance end, and we liked that too. Ultimately, it made sense for charter, and Lagoon ticked every box.”

Meet Helen who found her dream boat in the Lagoon 450S, “My favourite thing is the owner’s cabin—it’s so spacious. We call the cockpit the ‘sunroom’ because it’s where we spend so much time. It’s brilliant. But the best part is the connection with family, exploring together, and watching sunsets.”
