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 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.”

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.”

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”.
