Dealing with TMG Yachts
“The entire TMG Yachts team were really good. In the initial stages, John gave great advice and helped spec the boat, looking back it was all very valuable,” Mike Pain.
- Good experience in general
- TMG Yachts help set up charter
- Delivery and handover with Rowan was excellent
- The boat was in great condition on delivery
- Really good after sales support
Delivery
On delivery of Ticketyboo to the Whitsundays, the Pain’s were able to do an initial shakedown and got to know the boat a bit…
Sailing through some really challenging conditions the boat performed incredibly well.
Through 3 metre swells and 35kts of wind, Ticketyboo handled herself and the crew didn’t feel at all unsafe.
Charter
This BRAND NEW Lagoon 40 is the first of its kind in the Whitsundays and is now ready for charter!
You can charter this sensational Lagoon 40 through Whitsundays Escape with pick up in Airlie Beach.
This Lagoon 40 can sleep up to ten. Four double cabins, two bathrooms and the saloon table converts to another double. All cabins feature plenty of hatches and ample headroom.

Steve’s Journey to Buy a Lagoon Catamaran and Experience Freedom.
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.”
