The head-to-head between 38 and the 380 ultimately never took place, all down to the Mistral that was coming through a little too hard, blowing at over 30 knots early on our test day we’d scheduled out of Bonifacio. So, our boat tester Brieuc Maisonneuve got to sail aboard the new Lagoon 38 in lively conditions, but the 380 remained alongside the dock. Here’s the reaction…

Come aboard the stunning Lagoon 38, recently unveiled at Lagoon Exclusive Days! This newly designed compact catamaran is under 40 feet in length. It is an excellent option for sailors who prioritise and seek innovative features in their sailing experience. Its layout is developed for comfort and adventure with a spacious interior perfect for socialising, extended transoms for easy access, and a seamless “IN & OUT” living space. Unwind in the spacious owner’s cabin, a place to retreat and recharge.
With more than 1,100 hulls launched, the Lagoon 42 was a tough act to follow. In designing its successor, Lagoon Catamarans knew they had to hit it out of the park, so they tossed tradition, took risks, and stretched comfort zones.
Is the Lagoon 38 the ultimate compact catamaran for new sailors? Dubbed ‘The Poor’s Cat,’ this 38-footer is the smallest in Lagoon’s lineup, but don’t underestimate it! We dive into its spacious saloon, work-from-sea potential with Starlink, and key numbers like 836 sq ft sail area. Can it fit your liveaboard dreams?
The Lagoon 42 outsold every other catamaran to date, with more than 1,150 boats built. This newer, larger version has some design tricks to try and ensure it meets with similar success. The question is, will this voluminous new cat be the world’s most popular multihull?

Are you interested in chartering a catamaran sailboat? This is Lagoons new entry level cat. The 43, and while you can still buy a special model of the Lagoon 42 for about $600,000, you can also buy this new model for around the same price but most of you wont be buying one, you’ll be interacting with the boat on charter, and for a charter boat, it packs a lot of punch.
Here are the Top 5 Reasons the Lagoon 43 Catamaran Stands Out Among Modern Multihulls. The new Lagoon 43 exhibits the Lagoon legacy with its great combination of performance, sustainability, and luxury. Crafted with advanced materials, it boasts a reduced environmental impact, rare in its class. Discover what makes the Lagoon 43 an absolute standout in modern maritime design!
Join Katamarans on a test sail and boat tour of the Lagoon 43 in the Bay of Palma (Mallorca) and Barcelona. This model will eventually replace the 42, Lagoon’s best selling boat. The new hull design of the Lagoon 43 features even bigger interior volumes – as well as larger berths, with greater dimensions in every cabin. In the owner’s cabin, a large forward berth with an en suite head and shower aft provides increased living space. This new design should prove popular.
Lagoon launched the 43 at the International Multihull Show in 2024. This was quite a surprise at the time, as recent launches had fitted into their range of larger yachts built in Bordeaux.
Boasting an expansive flybridge, saloon bathed in natural light, fluid layouts and innovative opening side terraces, the Lagoon 60 is the latest release from Lagoon Catamarans.
The Groupe Beneteau catamaran builder’s 40th-anniversary celebrations will include the premiere of the Lagoon 60, which features an open cockpit with drop-down balconies.

Today, Lagoon’s catamaran range expands with a new model, the Lagoon 60, of which the renderings have just been unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023.
Cannes Yacht festival saw the grand premiere of the Lagoon 60, a masterpiece that exemplifies the brand’s unwavering commitment to precision design and groundbreaking innovation
Imagine a haven of peace. Home away from home. A sanctuary shelter from which to explore the vastness. This is freedom. At its purest.
The Lagoon 51 has a flybridge that was optimized to cover 80% of its roof. Equipped with modular seating so you can accommodate as many guests as you would like, this allows you to welcome them to the helm and relax alongside the captain.
While keeping a family resemblance and retaining the main features of the latest generation of Lagoons, it shows us a new path: unhurried evolution, a new “organic” approach, in search of harmony between living space and man.
The Lagoon 40 is the latest model released by the renowned French catamaran builder, and it has all the right features to make it a winner.
In this review, we try to understand why on The British Yachting Awards 2022 the sailing catamaran Lagoon 51 became Multihull of the Year immediately in the year of its world premiere.
When developing its new 46-footer, Lagoon had two issues to contend with. First, the immense popularity of its recently introduced groundbreaking 50 set high expectations for the smaller design.
In this review TopRik talks about the lagoon 40 in detail: how it was made, which engineering solutions were implemented, what can you find on board, and how it handles on the water.
This month we will look at two cruising catamarans and we’ll start with the Lagoon 55 designed by VPLP with exterior design by Patrick le Quement and interior design by Nauta Design. It takes a village these days to produce an entire design.
The world premiere of the 46 ft. (14 m) sailing catamaran Lagoon 46 from the French shipyard Construction Navale Bordeaux (CNB) took place 4 years ago – in January 2019 in Düsseldorf. Information about the introduction of a new yacht from CNB caused not just a buzz, but…
With a lighter structure, forward mast, shorter rig and overlapping genoa, the Lagoon 51 is even livelier on the water than her predecessor while also introducing the new emphasis on solar power that will characterise the brand’s future models.
Promising to be more ecological, more accessible and more connected, the Lagoon 51 announced by surprise – or almost – at the beginning of the year is full of promise.
One could sum up Lagoon’s philosophy in three words: elegance, conviviality, safety. Continuity between interior and exterior, direct and indirect lighting, harmonious proportions, warm atmosphere and ergonomic spaciousness, Lagoons yachts were the first to value a lifestyle on board a catamaran.
Where can we even begin when talking about the Lagoon Seventy Seven? Let’s begin by referring to the most important ship in the Lagoon fleet as a Supercat, shall we?…
One of the catamarans to keep an eye out for is the fantastic Lagoon 46. With several impressive novelties, the Lagoon 46 could potentially become the replacement of today’s most popular Lagoon model of all times, the Lagoon 450.
Of all the tweaks and changes in the design and layout of large cruising catamarans, surely the most innovative has been the addition of the flybridge steering station and “upstairs” lounging space.
In February, French boat builder Lagoon brought Hull No. 2 of its 55-foot luxury catamaran to the Miami International Boat Show. I can easily see this long-legged bluewater cruiser finding a niche among its siblings that range in length from 40 to 77 feet.
Review of the sailing catamaran Lagoon 51, built in France by Lagoon, innovators of sailing catamaran boats since 1982.
Ofcourse the volume of a power catamaran is why you’re here, but with only 150 hours and a draft under 5’, and a white hull, this gives you the space of a 100’ yacht with only one – two crew members required.
BoatTube takes us through a virtual walkthrough of the Lagoon 40.

Sailmoto takes you on a walkthrough review of the Lagoon SIXTY 5
From the moment you step on board (very easily it turns out, given the completely redesigned transoms that allow easy one step access from the side of the pontoon), Lagoon have once again designed a cat with style, performance and comfort but she is most definitely not style at the expense of function.
The flybridge of the 51 becomes a real living area, featuring reversible helm rests. Numerous solar panels are in evidence, and these are custom cut to reconcile aesthetics and efficiency (3,400 Wp).
Wait till you see the aft cabins… this Lagoon 55 with all its extra options is essentially a self-contained €1.7m resort. Toby Hodges sails the first of Lagoon’s latest cruising cats
Lagoon, the sailing catamaran arm of French sail and powerboat specialist Beneteau, has given a tantalising first look at its all-new Lagoon 51.
The Lagoon 51 is the latest offering from Lagoon and promises to make waves with its fluid onboard living conditions and luxury finishes.
Once more, Lagoon is stretching its legs and moving ahead with bold statements and a clear intention towards a greener future.
When discovering the first visuals of the brand new Lagoon 51, we notice 4 major evolutions compared to its predecessor, the Lagoon 50, which are related to access and comfort on board, to the exterior living spaces, to the interior layout and to eco-responsibility.
The successor to the Lagoon 400, the Lagoon 40 catamaran is an ergonomic, medium-sized catamaran—and a fan favorite among all kinds of sailors.
Mark Rothfield described the boat as a “Family or social entertainer for coastal and island hopping”
“THE RIG HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED TO MAKE THIS RIDE BETTER IN SPEED, COMFORT AND SAFETY.”
The Lagoon Sixty 5 is a luxury catamaran. Elegant and racy, she assures her owner comfort and performance. The ideal size to go far away and for a long time with the family without the need for a large and expensive crew.
In area, Lagoon’s Seventy 8 is the size of a tennis court. But there are far more relaxing activities to be enjoyed aboard the giant ocean roamer.
The Lagoon 42 — one of the latest evolutions of technology, comfort, and sailing performance in the world of cruising catamarans.
Enter the catamaran. This configuration offers all the benefits of traditional monohull sailing with the wondrous benefit of horizontal decks and tables. There is also the pleasure of space: wider decks, wider living spaces.
Replete with living space, the boat presents an unmistakable profile, sporting a hardtop that shields the flybridge and helm station from the weather and makes for a tall, triple-stacked silhouette.
This catamaran has quite simply one of the best designed interiors and aft cockpit layouts on the market. It has unparalleled accommodation possibilities, available in three to six cabins, with the third cabin inboard of each hull and surprisingly, even with that many cabins, it does not feel cramped.
Lagoon 50 – Unveiled in 2017, the Lagoon 50, along with the 40, 42 and 46 represent the latest generation models designed by the world leader in cruising catamarans. When she was first launched, she fitted into the range between the best-selling Lagoon 450 and the 52. Her ambition was to remain accessible to a family crew and offer maximum comfort.
So much water has passed between the hulls since 1987! The very first Lagoon, with its aerodynamic coachroof, probably had less than half the volume of the new 55. But the latter weighs twice as much. However, the spectacular slenderness of the rig would suggest that Lagoon hasn’t ignored the performance aspect.
The volume of the 55 inside and outside is really amazing,” Gailly says. “Together with the Premium Services we will offer, she’s a logical link to our big four.”
Lagoon’s latest version of one of its cornerstone models ready for Australian deliveries. The latest-generation Lagoon 55 luxury sailing catamaran has taken to the water, featuring a number of design and styling innovations that make it even more user-friendly.
Curvy, fast, and comfortable, the Lagoon 42 will not disappoint novice to expert sailors alike.

The Seventy 7 is the flagship yacht of the shipyard Lagoon Catamaran. She is the favorite boat among catamarans lovers.
This yacht has oodles of space and will accommodate a family clan, friends and a professional crew with ease. The owners suite includes a walk-in closet, double-sink head and private terrace that swings out from the hull. And the galley below could be in a Manhattan apartment.
Catamarans in the over-75 feet bracket are not widespread on the world market and are all one-off builds. Lagoon has had an eye on this sector for quite a while now and has just joined in the game like the master player it is.

This, the Lagoon Seventy 8, is the new flagship of the catamaran line, featuring so much living space that it’s more like a penthouse on the water than a boat.
So far, it seems that this boat lives up to its expectations and should satisfy buyers looking for a catamaran with a comfortable living space as well as the ones looking to charter a powercat to sail around Caribbean, Mediterranean or even transatlantic.
Lagoon Yachts is the market leader when it comes to cruising catamarans and their new 46 sits plumb in the middle of the range. Claire Mahon takes it for a spin.
At first glance, the striking innovation on this new, just-launched Lagoon 55 is the aft area which has been totally redesigned to offer optimal circulation on board, creating a vast terrace on the sea.
Tilting at the growing market for luxury catamarans, Lagoon Yachts is launching the second in its new very large line this spring, the Lagoon Sixty5
The objective is to offer guests an unforgettable time on the water. And this has every chance of being achieved. In the end, anything that might seem like an inconvenience due to nautical constraints is erased.
The 46 seems to be the product of synthesis of several simultaneous influences: The VPLP architecture which advocates a revolutionary rig and a more efficient centering of weight, and an enhanced exterior design.
Lagoon 46, good performance and comfort. One thing doesn’t necessarily preclude the other. The search for this balance has been the guiding light in the development of the Lagoon catamarans.
The difference between being at sea and at anchor require catamarans to fulfil two contrary roles. Succeeding in both makes a winning formula, as Lagoon found out by selling over 1,000 units of its 450, which has been succeeded by the 46 in 2019.
Owners from Malaysia to Taiwan have ordered the Sixty 7, which joins the flagship Seventy 8 in Lagoon’s range of large motor yachts.
With this new model, the little sister to the remarkable SEVENTY 7, Lagoon is reinforcing its anchored position in the world of luxury catamarans with a visual identity that is very different from that of the smaller Lagoons. We were able to make two trips aboard the SIXTY 5 off La Rochelle on France’s Atlantic coast, sailing between the islands of Ré, Oléron and Aix.
The ultimate luxury sailing vessel on the water….. The Lagoon SEVENTY 7. “The first thing people say even before they step foot on this boat is “WOW!”
The Sixty 5 can have either a five-cabin or six-cabin layout. The five-cabin layout would be the owner’s version and has three double cabins with en-suite heads in the port hull and a fourth double in the bow of the starboard hull; the owner’s master suite is aft to starboard and completely separate from the other cabins.

Lagoon Yachts has led the way for cruising catamarans and the new 40 is another trailblazing example, as Sam Jefferson discovers.
New rig, level living area and sweeter lines – small changes make the new Lagoon 42 a slick package
Welcome to BoatTube!!! On our channel, we upload daily, two of our original, short 2-5min, walkaround videos of Motor Boats, Sailing Yachts, Jet Ski and everything that floats in the water.
Discovering the SEVENTY 8, you’d think the first impression would be that you’re boarding a boat you know, in this case the Lagoon SEVENTY 7, but just one with the mast unstepped. But as soon as you get aboard, you discover a very different high-end unit.
Anyone under the impression that change in today’s production catamarans is about little more than cosmetics needs to check out the Lagoon 50—an all-new design that went on to become the winner in the 40 to 50ft cruising multihull category in SAIL’s 2019 Best Boats awards.
Recently released, the new Lagoon 50 catamaran is quickly becoming a favourite among the multihull enthusiast. This model is considered the largest Lagoon dedicated to family sailing without a crew. She offers a sleek design with performance in mind and many innovations.
Upon setting your eyes to the Lagoon 40, its aesthetic beauty that stands out would immediately capture any boater’s attention.
Lagoon is continuing the redevelopment of its range with a model whose new rig is at the heart of a significant evolution in style, ergonomics and performance. We have just spent two days onboard the 42.
Designed by VPLP, the new cat adopted the styling of her larger siblings, including more angular transoms, longer rectangular hull ports to let light stream in below and a coachroof that flows into an upward-angled composite hardtop, which gives the boat an aggressive look.
It’s difficult to compare the Lagoon 55 of 1987 and the new Lagoon 55 of 2021, as innovations have changed the hulls and interior layout. However, shipyard said without any doubt that Lagoon has remained faithful to its roots and values: to offer a safe and comfortable sailing yacht, to go far and travel. A yacht where life is good.
Lagoon have just unveiled their new 40 footer with a bold move: the 40 is replacing the 400 and the 39. It is the 40 which has now become the entry-level and introduction model to the Lagoon concept.
Oftentimes, powercats end up looking like wedding cakes. Making them look good is a real challenge. All credit, then, to Lagoon’s regular preferred creative partners, automotive-design legend Patrick Le Quément and VPLP, which respectively take the bows for exterior design and naval architecture on the Lagoon Sixty 7.
The French builder adds a distinctive new look to its range. This latest breed of Lagoons still carries the brand’s vertical saloon windows, but its cabin roofs and Biminis have evolved and now seem to float atop the house.
Nothing kills innovation faster than incremental improvement. Maybe that’s why nothing inspires it like a clean sheet of paper. Kudos to Lagoon for understanding that and tossing out preconceived notions. With the launch of the new Lagoon 50, the French catamaran builder tapped into true innovation in a world of evolutionary lookalikes.
The Lagoon Seventy 8 super catamaran is the perfect yacht for long-range cruising. The real challenge for Lagoon was to design a yacht that offered cutting-edge solutions for owners looking for motor yachts while meeting the needs and expectations of a new generation of gentleman sailors.
The Lagoon Seventy 8 is 1 inch longer in length and width than the size of a doubles tennis court. Picture sitting center court at Wimbledon: With lifelines placed just outside the service lines, you have an accurate visual of the Seventy 8’s sheer magnitude, which can be difficult for owners of 78-foot-long monohulls to grasp.
Big and roomy, Lagoon’s new 50 footer is also easy to handle. The Lagoon 50 was described by a company spokeswoman as being “the most open-minded catamaran on the market.” That’s a statement that could be taken in a number of ways.
The enormous decks of this long-range cruising cat stretch across both the cockpit and bow, and along the length of the sponsons, each a huge expanse dotted with large hatches—five on the port side, seven to starboard—that provide light to the spaces below, as well as air and emergency egress.
In most independent catamaran reviews, Lagoon stands out for its spacious interiors, user-friendly design, and excellent value for long-distance cruising. While some performance-oriented brands may offer faster sailing speeds, Lagoon Catamarans consistently receive top marks for liveability, build quality, and the strength of their global dealer network, including local support in Australia.
Yes, according to many cruising catamaran reviews, Lagoon models are among the best choices for extended offshore and coastal cruising. Owners and experts alike praise their stability, storage capacity, and comfort under sail. Popular models like the Lagoon 42 and 46 regularly appear in global rankings for best liveaboard sailing catamarans.
Right here. TMG Yachts has compiled expert Lagoon catamaran reviews from top boating publications, video channels, and journalists with hands-on testing experience. These catamaran reviews offer detailed walkthroughs and unbiased feedback on each model.
