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

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.
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.”

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.”

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.”
