Yacht Reviews

The Lagoon 410 S2 Catamaran is an updated version of the Lagoon 410. I am always interested in exploring the differences between older models and newer versions.

Although there are some differences between the 410 S2, the sailing abilities are very good. The 410 S2 is a yacht that can hold its own.

I found the Lagoon 410 S2 Catamaran to be a comfortable cruising yacht with well-utilized space.

---

Accommodation

I discovered the performance of the Lagoon 410 S2 to be set to the highest standards of comfort and safety. The S2 is comfortable and cozy. The dining area, galley, and cabins are well-appointed.

There is plenty of space in the salon and galley for preparing meals, and dining and sleeping quarters are spacious and offer enough room to stretch out.

---

Under sail

Under sail, the 410 S2 is an exceptional sailing yacht that performs well. Primary sail control lines, including the reefing lines and halyard, are operated with the help of an electric winch.

The S2 performs well windward, except in very light air. I would easily charter the Lagoon 410 S2 again, and you should consider it too.

Waterline length allows for larger load carrying for longer offshore passages. Unlike other models with raised booms or flybridge, the S2 is absolved of that issue.

---

Interior

The interior of the 410 S2 is very spacious and appealing, with lots of natural light in the saloon and cabins. I found the boat to be stylishly designed with warm tones and pleasing color hues.

The navigation station, open-concept galley, and saloon make it a fantastic choice for long cruises. I enjoyed the large main salon for reading and gathering with passengers, which seats six comfortably and eight cozily.

There is lots of storage under the bench in the salon for supplies, food, and other necessities for cruising. Additionally, the S2 has large bilges as well as a large freezer and fridge.

The office area has a desk area for work, and although some sailors find it a wasted space, I found it to be very usable and convenient.

---

---

Exterior

The 410 S2 offers lots of room for lounging on the deck and spending time on topside.
I enjoyed laying out on the large trampoline and reading and drinking in the sea breeze.

The exterior area is limited by the size of the cockpit; however, it is the focal point for outside activities.

---

Comparison with the Lagoon 410

In comparison with the Lagoon 410 – the S2 is just an updated version and perfect for offshore.

Although the 410 seemed heavy, the S2 handles nicely.
Both the 410 and 410 S2 are very similar; however, there were some modifications made to make it more ergonomically designed.

The 410 had the anchor at the bridge deck, whereas the S2 had the anchor at the crossbeam.

---

Why Sail the Lagoon 410 S2

• A lot of natural light in the interior
• Handles nicely in windward conditions
• The water tank is large enough to be self-contained.
• Stable and safe even in challenging weather
• Very comfortable accommodations

---

In Conclusion

I found the Lagoon 410 S2 to be a solid vessel and well-equipped to handle long offshore passages. Off the wind, the S2 sails in superb comfort.

I found my cruise aboard the Lagoon 410 S2 Catamaran to be very enjoyable, and I and would recommend the yacht to anyone. While there are some issues with the 410 S2, it really is a matter of preference.

The Lagoon 570 was one of the first sailing yachts I was fortunate enough to experience. The 570 is one of the first models of Lagoon catamarans and is one of my favorite boats.

It’s true when it’s said that you never forget your first love, and I have hardly forgotten my affection for these yachts.

Lagoon Cats have remained my go-to sailing vessel, and this Lagoon 570 Catamaran review will explain why I have been a loyal follower of these boats since I first stepped foot aboard the 570.

---

Accommodation

The purpose of the 570 was to allow passengers to sail in luxury, but I doubt that the vessel intended for passengers to spread out and not move a muscle for a solid week.

I can’t say that is what I did, but I was tempted. That is how comfortable and spacious the 570 was. I could sleep anywhere on this boat without feeling cramped or in an odd position.

---

Under Sail

The 570 displays considerable power and handles well in moderate winds. I was surprised that the controls only took a light hand and were very easy to get the hang of before I felt completely comfortable at the helm.

The vessel remains strong and steady as it slices through the wind. The 570 isn’t a speedboat, but it is still an impressive boat.

---

Interior

Teak wood paneling and floors give the boat a homey feel while the lines are kept clean and rounded.

The galley is accessible from the welcoming saloon, which has plenty of room for all the comforts of home.

I enjoyed kicking my feet up for a meal below deck as I gazed out of the windows and took in the view and the sunshine without being out in the elements.

---

---

Exterior

Above the deck, the teak wood makes an appearance, leading to the attractive appearance of the boat.

There is a lounge area that quickly became a much sought-after spot for all the passengers.

I appreciated the overall width of the boat that made moving from one end of the boat to the other convenient and without all the twisting and turning required to navigate narrower above-deck walkways.

---

Comparison with the Lagoon 560

The 570 isn’t exactly what I would call “intimate”, but the Lagoon 560 is a massive vessel.

I like space and room to move, but the 560 can be a bit overkill. If you have a lot of guests and need the space, the 560 is probably your best bet, but I suggest the 570 for a smaller group.

You will still have plenty of room, but you won’t feel as isolated on a boat full of people as you might on the 560.

The 560 is basically an enlarged version of the 570, but it is slow due to being bogged down from its increased size.

---

Why Sail the Lagoon 570

• Spacious above and below deck
• Windows offer incredible views and natural sunlight
• Attractive interior and exterior designs are tastefully done
• Luxurious lounge, saloon, and cabins
• The cockpit is protected from the weather and the sun beating down
• Lots of storage space
• Deck and cockpit are easily accessible
• Powerful under sail and performs well in choppy seas

---

In Conclusion

If you have a family or a group of friends looking for a yacht charter, you can end the search right now!

The 570 is the perfect vessel for a vacation with loved ones. I can testify to the appeal of the 570, and I will guarantee that you will enjoy every minute onboard!

The Lagoon 380 S2 is a remodeled version of the original 380 design. I always find it interesting to explore new designs of older models and pick out the differences between the yachts.

The 380S2 had many differences, but it was also a boat that can stand on its own. In comparison to other yachts, the 380S2 could be considered small, but that depends on the sailor and what they think is small.

I found the S2 comfortable without a lot of wasted space, which is a change in many Lagoon catamarans.

---

Accommodation

I have never felt that just because a boat has a lot of space, that it is a better design than other boats. I found the 380 S2 comfortable but compact and cozy.

The galley and saloon have plenty of room to prepare meals and dine as a group without climbing over each other, and the cabins are equipped with beds that you can stretch out on and there is a good amount of storage space throughout the vessel.

---

Under Sail 

Under sail, the 380 S2 does a fantastic job windward but tends to struggle in other conditions. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you are simply cruising around.

I enjoyed the slower pace and didn’t feel the need to speed it up unless we had to anyway. If you are looking for something more powerful, look at a bigger cat, but if power isn’t a concern, try the 380 S2.

I do feel I need to warn potential sailors that the 380 S2 has a flybridge design that is a bit high, which is not everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I don’t have any issues with a high flybridge, but if you are sure a flybridge isn’t for you, move on to the next cat.

---

Interior

The interior of the 380 S2 is attractive and serviceable. There are touches of color here and there to please the eye, but I don’t really mind the interior design as long as it isn’t boring.

I thoroughly enjoyed the saloon booth and could sit for hours reading or chatting with my passengers. The below deck is a welcoming environment that puts everyone at ease and invites conversation.

---

---

Exterior

The 380 S2 fools the eye by appearing to be a very small vessel from the exterior, but the boat is, in fact, bigger than you would guess.

There is plenty of room for all passengers to lounge around and spend time together, but this space is at the expense of the cockpit.

The cockpit on the 380 S2 is small, and I found it cramped. The good thing about it is that the cockpit was the only place on the boat I felt was lacking in space, but it was still a little unpleasant.

---

Comparisons with 380

The greatest differences between the original Lagoon 380 and the 380 S2 seem to be mostly cosmetic.

Both vessels are very similar, right down to their faults. If pressed, I would choose the 380 S2 because the design is more modern and the boat itself is an updated design, but overall, they are not drastically different.

---

Why Sail the Lagoon S2

• Though it looks small, there is a good amount of space on board
• Performs well in windward conditions
• Safe and stable even in poor weather
• Comfortable accommodations for yourself and your passengers

---

In Conclusion

I enjoyed my trip out on the 380 S2 and would recommend the boat to anyone wanting a small boat with just the right amount of space. Yes, there are a few issues with the 380 S2, but they are mostly based on the personal preferences of the sailor.

If it wasn’t for my gripe with the cockpit, I would say that the 380 S2 is the total package! The cockpit can be overlooked in light of all the other positives the 380 S2 has to offer. I’d charter a 380 S2 again in a heartbeat, and you should, too!

The 470 is an update of the older Lagoon 47 that has withstood the test of time and numerous versions based on this original blueprint.

This Lagoon Catamaran 470 Review will go over the 470’s weak and strong points and concentrate on what has made this particular yacht popular for so long.

The yacht was designed with two things in mind: plenty of space and great performance. Combined, those two aspects have made for a boat that is a sailor’s favorite.

---

Accommodations

Space and openness are the keywords when describing the 470. The cabins, saloon, and galley are all roomy and comfortable, while the design and color choices make this boat sunny and cheerful.

There is also plenty of headroom, making the sailing experience that much better for tall passengers. The decks are given the same wide, easy-to-navigate spaciousness as the rest of the vessel.

---

Interior 

Typically, the Lagoon 470 has 4 cabins and 3 heads, all with plenty of space and comfortable furnishings.

There is a galley-up layout and a big saloon, both are easy to move around in, and the saloon has extra room for lounging and socializing.

The design of the interior was kept simple with lots of sunlight allowed in from the windows to brighten it up.

---

---

Exterior

The decks are wide and allow sailors to come and go without feeling crowded or cramped. The bridge has an incredible view, but so does nearly every angle on the boat. The 470 was designed with clean lines and a sturdy, lightweight shell that makes sailing feel effortless.

---

Under Sail

As with all Lagoon catamarans, the boat is easy to control, and even novice skippers do not find an issue with the controls. The sails are good-sized and require more attention with fewer crew members on board.

The lightness of the boat makes for a sailing experience not unlike floating on air. If you are a sailor who appreciates a quick, light boat, the 470 should be your first choice!

---

Performance in The Wind

The Lagoon 470’s performance in the wind may be found just slightly lacking to seasoned skippers who notice everything, but most skippers and passengers would hardly notice any difference. The 470 performs well and doesn’t feel underpowered in the least, even if it struggles somewhat with its windward ability.

---

Power

Twin engines give the 470 added power for situations that call for the use of an engine. The 470 powered up is easy to control, and maneuver, and sails smoothly, giving passengers a calm ride even if the weather or sea conditions are less than ideal.

Cruising while using power is made simpler with the ability to use only one or both engines, but the second engine shouldn’t be necessary for most circumstances. It’s still nice to have it there, just in case.

---

Lagoon 470 VS 410

The 410 is a serviceable boat, but many sailors with a 410 are upgrading to the 470. The 470 simply has more room than the 410. Headroom is increased on the 470, as well as a widened galley that is noticeably narrower in the 410.

The 470 is also superior in wind performance, even with its issues, and the 470 does better in bad weather conditions, whereas the 410 tends to sail choppily.

---

Why Sail the Lagoon 470

• Spacious
• Comfortable furnishings
• Well thought out, free-flowing interior and exterior designs
• Easy to control
• Handles well under power
• Sails are easy to rig with a good size crew
• Twin engines are good for extra power and a backup if needed

---

In Conclusion

The 470 is an update on an old favorite and has become a favorite in its own right. The 470 is not as big as some Lagoon catamarans, but not every sailor is looking for a big boat. This cat performs well, and there are not any serious complaints about its performance or design. If you want simple, easy, and comfortable, look no further than the 470!
