World-class Lagoon catamarans: models comparison

As Lagoon catamarans – our sister company under Group Beneteau – celebrates 40 years of delivering one of the world’s top catamaran brands, we’re celebrating with a comparative view of some of the most popular models we have available with our Dream ownership programs. 

We’ll take a closer look at three Lagoon models currently available for sale:  the Lagoon 40, Lagoon 42, and Lagoon 46, all of which are tried and tested, having withstood the test of time with devoted Lagoon owners around the world. They’ve brought together a symphony of talent in creating their luxury catamarans. From Lagoon’s legendary Construction Navale Bordeaux shipyard  to the brilliant collaboration of naval architects, the common motivation is to create comfortable, elegant, and reliable boats.

Read on to learn about some of the specific Lagoon features that owners look at when making their dream yacht purchase decision, from layouts and use of space to performance and interior finishes!

Features that make a Lagoon a Lagoon

There’s a lot to love about the Lagoon lineup of sailing catamarans, and many features are shared among all of the models. Comfort is always optimized in all Lagoon catamarans. You can expect excellent use of space both inside and on deck, as well as spacious cushioned seating areas, well-planned storage, and high quality finishes and equipment.

Also common to all yachts in the Lagoon lineup are the brand’s signature vertical saloon windows, adding a distinctive look for both style and functionality, and making saloon interiors feel large, open, light and bright.

Another recognizable feature of Lagoon sailing catamarans is the traditional foredeck trampoline, allowing for lighter weight as well as air flow and that delightful occasional seaspray that adds to an exhilarating sailing experience.

Finally, and, of utmost importance to owners, Lagoon catamarans are well known for their longevity and reliability.

So, which Lagoon catamaran is right for you?

Lagoon 40

The Lagoon 40 is the entry offering in the Lagoon lineup of sailing catamarans. Offering a noticeably bright, surprisingly comfortable and easy-to-sail 40-foot vessel, the Lagoon 40 boasts many of the same features of the larger models.

Firstly, its spacious interior layout offers ample living and storage space, making it an ideal choice for extended voyages or shorter vacation charters. The 3-cabin/2-head option provides a spacious port side “owner’s suite”, but there are also layout options for 4-cabins with either two or four heads depending on your needs.

The raised helm station features a bimini for protection from the elements, and is easily accessible from the cockpit and the side deck. And from the two-person seat, all four corners of the boat are visible.

The Lagoon 40 achieves remarkable stability and spacious living areas thanks to the wide 22’-2” beam. Additionally, the Lagoon 40 boasts excellent handling characteristics, largely due to a substantial reduction in weight from previous models – while still maintaining exceptional sea keeping abilities even in rough conditions. It can be easily sailed single-handedly or with a small crew due to its smaller size and smart rigging system.

In conclusion, the Lagoon 40 catamaran truly shines among smaller sailing catamarans with its well-designed spacious living areas, innovative use of space on deck, and a perfect length for easy handling and maintenance, while still large enough for bluewater passages.

Lagoon 42

Cruising World’s Boat of the Year 2017 is still going strong with good looks, excellent performance and exacting construction standards that make this cruiser a winning choice for day sailors and extended bluewater sailing trips alike.

The Lagoon 42 defies her modest (by today’s standards) size at every turn, with open livable spaces and lounge areas. The Lagoon 42 is available in 2 layouts – the 3-cabin/2-head “owner’s” version has a luxuriously large starboard stateroom with ensuite, while the 4-cabin/4-head layout is perfect for charter operations or larger families.

Thanks to her rig moved further aft, high-aspect mainsail and self-tacking jib, the Lagoon 42 has an enhanced performance and ease of handling that easily adapts to all conditions. And, a focus on weight reduction and optimized weight distribution during design and production further enhances her performance.

The ergonomic, 2-person helm station with optional bimini top, where all control lines converge for easy sailing. From the helm station, the well-designed flow allows for convenient access to the aft cockpit and foredeck – as well as easy communication with those in the aft cockpit.

While the Lagoon 42 is quite similar in layout to the 40, the additional two feet of length affords a noticeable upgrade in lounging area space on the foredeck, aft cockpit and perhaps most notably with the addition of a coachroof cushioned sunbeds – sure to be a favorite for both catching some sun and stargazing at night.

Inside, the salon wraparound dining area offers a bit more space than the 40. But the aft cockpit is a highlight of the Lagoon 42 with space that is unprecedented on a boat of this size, and an additional lounging seat not found on the 40.

Lagoon 46

Last up in our catamaran comparison is the Lagoon 46. As you would expect the Lagoon 46 offers a noticeable difference in both interior and deck space, with larger lounging areas and generous storage compartments.

With the upgrade in size to the Lagoon 46 comes a generously sized flybridge boasting sweeping views. While no longer connected to the aft cockpit, passengers can enjoy contact with the helmsman from the seating adjacent to the helm, as well as from the massive cushioned sunbeds just to aft. Once atop the bridge, visibility, handling and comfort underway are optimized by the centered rigging and helm.

Aboard the award-winning Lagoon 46, delight in an interior volume that’s unparalleled in a mid-size catamaran – making this yacht feel much larger than her 46-foot length. The light and bright interior salon volume carries through to the below deck cabins, where layout options include a 3-cabin/3-bath version with an impressive owner’s suite, or a 4-cabin/4-bath version.

Lagoon 46 designers put to work their years of expertise to achieve world-class seaworthiness, ease of sailing, and performance. And the larger sailing plan, shorter boom and a self-tacking jib come together to make sailing the Lagoon 46 a great joy.
