“The entire TMG team were really good. In the initial stages, John gave great advice and helped spec the boat, looking back it was all very valuable… From our first enquiry, through specification, order, to delivery and after-sales, TMG have been terrific to deal with. Ordering our Lagoon 40 was no small decision and a perfect delivery reassured us from the start,” Mike Pain.
What’s the big deal?
Well with so many new and improved features for our incredible new line of Lagoons we thought we would compile all the features in one place…
“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.” Says Martin.
This is a story of an adventure taken onboard John Pruims 410.

So many parents have this dream… The desire to just take off and sail the world. But there is just one thing holding them back… KIDS!
However, it’s just the opposite. Having children gives you even more reason to make this fairytale a reality.

Peter has just had his Lagoon 630MY shipped to the Caribbean after 3 years in the Mediterranean.
He is already loving the abundance of sea life, catching fish on every cruise and spotting turtles in the clear ocean. Peter is enjoying the cultural mix and lots of rum while settling into the consistent weather conditions.
After three years in the Mediterranean Peter says he could definitely have spent another three… But unfortunately, everyone has time restraints… There aren’t many islands in the Mediterranean Peter hasn’t visited, with an impressive list of 47 in Greece alone… Peter talks about his favourite places and what he got up to in the winter.

Taking hand of your Lagoon in the magical Mediterranean summer sounds spectacular, however it may actually not be the best time for you.
There is something so romantic about a French winter. You could gift yourself a new boat and change things up with a white Christmas onboard your water home.
Here’s why winter might be a better option for your pick up…
“We’ve chosen unschooling, where you just let your kids be kids and secretly tick things off as they happen. Unschooling is not following a prepackaged curriculum exactly ie: in the order, it’s being taught in the schools. It’s more just following the kid’s lead and nurturing what they want to learn.
Lastly, don’t worry about ‘socialisation’. It’s a common misconception that homeschooled kids are poorly socialised.” Nick and Lyndy, Lagoon 400, Katsumi
Dusseldorf, Boot had PLENTY to see with the world premiere of the highly anticipated Lagoon 46, the new Dragonfly 32 Evolution.
It’s just over a year now since the Lagoon 50 was launched and she has already picked up not one, not two, but three awards from across the globe!
It’s now been over two years since the Lagoon 42 was launched in Australia, so Phil Ross, editor of Cruising Helmsman magazine, decided to take a closer look at the multi award-winning 42 and find out why this boat has been such a hugely successful model for Lagoon.
The highly-anticipated Lagoon 46 made her international debut at boot Dusseldorf 2019 this week and judging from the crowds lining up to take a closer look, the Lagoon 46 certainly lives up to all her hype!
The final results of the 2018 Atlantic Rally for Cruisers have been released, with Lagoon not only crowned the overall winner (in adjusted time) … but also winning every category of the ARC!

The Multihull Group’s MD, John Cowpe, recently had his extended family in town from the UK and so they took the opportunity to head out on the harbour for a day onboard a new Lagoon 40.
“I wanted a big, spacious saloon that you could see through for transparency. I wanted it to feel like a home, like a floating apartment. I thought regarding the kids, on the 42 specifically, we can steer the boat from here on the same level, it’s not a separate area … and the entire thing can be enclosed without it being a visual and physical barrier,” said Lara.
TMG The Multihull Group take an in-depth look at the development of the New Lagoon 46 with one of the world’s leading multihull designers, Vincent Lauriot-Prévost.
‘Lagoons are perfect as a live-aboard option. They have plenty of room, everyone in the family has their own space. Tyler can be off in her room, Max on the trampoline burning off energy, Darren keeping on top of the maintenance. The boat never feels cramped,” says Kristy.
Every day is magical when you’re living on board. Take this morning, for example … the water was like a millpond, delivering a special sunrise. This was the view from our cabin as we woke up. We chose the 380 for her spacious interior. She’s super easy to sail, well suited for the two of us to live and work on board comfortably and she has plenty of indoor and outdoor living areas,” Said owners, Justin and Kelly.
The nominations just keep rolling in for the number one catamaran brand in the world: Lagoon.
With the release from Lagoon headquarters this week of the very first photos and videos of the 46 and the announcement that the Lagoon 46 has just been shortlisted for the Multihull of the Year 2019 Awards, excitement is already building worldwide well ahead of the Lagoon 46’s international debut at boot Dusseldorf in 2019.

“From our 6 months onboard, there are so many personal highlights. From a sailing and cruising perspective, I can hardly put our time in the Balearics into words. Formentera in particular, some of the anchorages there once the crowds had gone for the day were absolutely stunning. Seeing our young girls develop was something special.”

“The comfort is just amazing. When we were in rough seas sitting in the cockpit in the monohull, we could touch the water. But in the cat, you’re sitting on top of the flybridge – with 2m following seas – she’s solid, she’s stable, she’s just fantastic in the water,” said Lagoon 440 owners.

Eighteen Lagoons gathered on February 23rd for the inaugural Summer Lagoon Escapade at Marmong Point Marina – the perfect location for boating, water sports, or simply enjoying the tranquil setting.
This Lagoon 450F was Johns 3rd out of 4 Lagoons “You want to buy a production boat, built in a factory in series. You get a properly designed and built boat. Compared to other 40ft boats a 40ft Lagoon will have the most volume. A signature of Lagoon is its vertical windows. The advantages are you have ample headspace in the saloon, plenty of light and 360 degree views, whilst keeping the sun out.”
“We’re in Les Sables-d’Olonne and we’re taking the boat out for a test sail and I’m floating on a cloud, I’ve got no idea what’s going on! It’s the most stunning day – in January no less! The weather was fine and the wind almost calm, but regardless she made 3 knots in 5 knots of breeze. What a clever little thing she is!”
