“I first saw the very first Lagoon 42 that came to Australia at the Sydney boat show in 2015. I just felt that it had everything I needed, we purchased the boat through TMG and we’ve been looked after very well by all the staff. We’ve really enjoyed the boat the first 5 months” – Ross Smith Lagoon 42.
It’s been one hell of a trip. The Mediterranean offers a rich history, culture, and stunning landscapes, travelling through different countries and exploring the local ingredients and cooking techniques has been an incredible experience. I don’t think we’ll ever lose some of the friends we’ve met, and we’re all living our dream… Our favourite features on our Lagoon are the flybridge, Code Zero, water-maker and generator.”

“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.” said new Lagoon 51 owner, Tony.
“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. – Lagoon 450F “Aphrodite,” Class B ARC winner.
“We are very thankful to TMG for the amazing handover of our Lagoon 42. The whole process has been outstanding, from our initial sales with Joe Fox to the coordination of services by TMG’s service partner VesselTec.” – Vincent and Amanda, Lagoon 42.
“Meeting the TMG team and being welcomed into the family was the start of the journey. They took the time to understand us, who we are and what we want to achieve from our dreams. TMG assisted us with the technical, the practical and helped us to navigate the process from purchase to delivery and beyond to reach our aspirations. Now we are living our dream, and it’s thanks to TMG… The 46 is next level. She meets all of our needs to entertain our family and cruise the oceans of the world.” – Mike & Linda, Lagoon 46 owners.
“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.” – Shannon and Paul.
“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.”
Buying a catamaran and deciding to wrap up your life on land to sail the world is a life-changing decision, one made a little harder when caught up amongst the pandemic and uncertainty it caused.
So we turned to new Lagoon owners Ian and Jackie who put together an incredible story to give you the reality of what this experience was really like for them.
Pierre Skinner, an Aussie Lagoon owner answers what his favourite thing about his boat is and what he would say to anyone who is thinking about buying a catamaran.
This liveaboard Lagoon Catamaran owner from Denmark loved Australia so much that he wanted to share his world trip sailing stories with us.
Kerry and Bryn Wellington own a Lagoon 450, Nautilus and have been sailing the East Coast of Australia onboard over the last few years. They love the volume of their catamaran and the ability to store all their toys including kitesurfing, diving and paddleboarding gear.
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.”
Matt and Lanaia Donkin own a 40ft Lagoon, Espresso and liveaboard in Australia. This Canadian couple has loved their on-water adventure of the East Coast, especially their annual trips to the Whitsundays for the Lagoon Escapade. The Donkins discuss why they love their Lagoon including performance, comfort, stability and space.
“We highly recommend TMG. Rowan at TMG was responsive, professional and patient at every turn during this process, from selection of boat options (Lagoon 450S) prior to purchase, all the way through handover of the boat in France.” Karen, Lagoon 450S.
“Through our travels, we’ve met other Lagoon 42 owners who bought their boat through other brokers (overseas)… You don’t know how good you’ve got it until you meet someone who got much less. A big thank you! Everything we wanted on the boat was delivered. Everything works & we were shown how it works. Any failures are ours due lack of familiarity or faulty memory.” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby
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…” Says John. “The team at The Multihull Group will work with you to ensure you get just the set up you desire…” – John Pruim – Lagoon 50, Themis
“”Lagoons are boldly angular in shape, and we thought that was fantastic. It creates that space inside and looks great on the outside. And the sailing performance for a production catamaran … is very very good.
When we arrived in Les Sables-d’Olonne John had this rockstar entrance… surreal does not even begin to describe how it felt.”
” – Aaron and Lara Jones – Lagoon 42, Sabella
“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.
” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby
