Lagoon Catamarans: A Broad Overview
The name ‘Lagoon’ is well established in the yachting world, with a slick catamaran design that set the industry alight when it was first launched as Jeanneau, way back in 1957. The first vessels built were monohull and when Henri Jeanneau founded the boatyard, his original plan was to design and build power boats and the business was taken over by Beneteau, a French boat builder with the highest output in the world. They have facilities in France and the US; the US facility was founded in 1986 and as of 2017, the Marion facility had built 8,700 vessels, making them one of the busiest boatbuilders in the world.
World Class Catamarans
The world’s biggest boatbuilder, Lagoon makes a range of coastal and offshore sailing vessels, while most models are available in ‘owner’ or ‘charter’ versions, depending on your requirements. In 1999, we saw the amazing Lagoon 380 come onto the market and this model is by far their biggest seller, undergoing developments for more than a decade.
The Lagoon Range Includes:
- Lagoon 40 – At 10.9m (38.6ft), this is a great vessel with impressive speed and comes with 3 or 4-cabin options.
