Wonderful winter pick up…

Wonderful winter pick up…

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…

All aboard the kids!

All aboard the kids!

“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

Sailing Sabella – A Lagoon 42 Adventure – Lara and Aaron

Sailing Sabella – A Lagoon 42 Adventure – Lara and Aaron

With two young daughters in tow, Aaron and Lara Jones knew their boat needed to feel like home. For them, the Lagoon 42 offered the right mix of visibility, comfort, safety, and performance to support a life less ordinary.
“I wanted a big, spacious saloon that felt like a home, like a floating apartment. With a monohull, the kids would be down below where I couldn’t see them. On the Lagoon 42, we can steer the boat from the same level and the entire thing can be enclosed without feeling cut off. It’s perfect for a young family.
The shape, the layout, the feel, it all just works. It’s not all cocktails and sunsets, but this is the life we’re after.”

Advice for those thinking of buying a Lagoon – Lara and Aaron

Advice for those thinking of buying a Lagoon – Lara and Aaron

From clueless first-timers to confident sailors, the Jones family have created a treasure trove of memories and a new sense of self over 6 months, here’s their advice to those thinking about setting sail.
“For other families considering this sort of adventure on a Lagoon, I’d advise them to stop stalking other sailing families on Facebook like I did for 10 years! Draw a line in the sand. Set a date. Decide to do it and off you go.
When Lara told me she wanted to buy a boat, we bought a boat and off we went. We found ourselves sitting in idyllic (and I don’t use that word lightly) anchorages almost every night.
Looking through crystal clear water at the bottom of the ocean 10m down and wondering if life could get any better… it just doesn’t. Would we do it again? In a heartbeat.”

Trading a Backyard for a Back Deck on the Sea – Home on a Lagoon – Bob and Margret

Trading a Backyard for a Back Deck on the Sea – Home on a Lagoon – Bob and Margret

After packing up their Brisbane home, Bob and Margaret Kennedy set sail in search of a more adventurous lifestyle. Life aboard their Lagoon 420 Casablanca has given them comfort, freedom, and a community of like-minded cruisers.
“We’ve had Casablanca for six years and we wouldn’t swap her for anything else. Our last boat felt like camping, but the Lagoon feels like home.
There’s space for the whole family, it’s easy to sail as a couple, and everything is just smartly laid out. From solar power and a washing machine to a safe, open cockpit for the grandkids, she ticks every box.
This lifestyle wasn’t planned, one day Bob just said, ‘Let’s buy a boat,’ and now here we are, thousands of miles later, with no regrets. Lagoon gave us the confidence to go anywhere, and the comfort to truly enjoy it.”
