The Lagoon 39 is a catamaran used specifically for cruising. Unlike the majority of catamaran designs, the Lagoon 39 is easy to control due to its more weighty bulk.

That bulk, however, does not slow down the vessel. In fact, the 39 is quick and agile, with a comfortable below deck and plenty of room for passengers to lounge around and socialize.

Under Sail

Under sail, the Lagoon 39 exudes power and stability. The boat is precisely balanced and can withstand and navigate tricky weather and water conditions with purposeful and powerful grace.

The quality of the design of the 39 means that your cruise, no matter what speed, will be smooth and enjoyable.

In addition, the 39 is very simple to control and can be done so by even a novice sailor with little skill, but the more you know the more at ease you will be with this catamaran.

The Lagoon 400 S2 is essentially the Lagoon 400 but with an overhauled interior design. The 400 S2 is a reworking by two notable naval architects who determined that the 400 was lacking in space, style, and aesthetic appeal.

Sailors interested in the Lagoon series of boats will find the 400 S2 a smartly upgraded vessel that takes into consideration comfort as well as operation.

---

Accommodations

The Lagoon 400 S2 was designed to create more space for the general living areas and cabins. The design included widening the spaces to the point that the salon and cabins resemble a small apartment more than the below deck of a boat.

This gives the passengers a cozier, more relaxed setting in which to conduct their daily routines, mealtimes, and group gatherings when the weather is not cooperative for outdoor activity.

---

Interior

The interior was the main focus of the upgrade from the original 400 design, so the most detailed work was done for this part of the boat.

In addition to larger spaces, the interior was also outfitted with modernized flooring and wood paneling, up-to-date furniture designs, and new layouts for furnishings that make the space more livable.

Extra storage was also added for convenience. The 400 S2 can comfortably house up to eight passengers if necessary.

---

Exterior

The exterior of the 400 S2 was kept nearly identical to the 400. Retained was the square, symmetrical theme of the boat’s outer design, making straight lines and a clean profile.

The deck is kept simple and neat, allowing sailors to move around with ease. The cockpit is on the same level as the salon and is properly protected from the sun’s rays making navigation less demanding.

---

Lagoon 400 S2 Vs 400

A chief complaint about the Lagoon 400 is that the boat wastes a lot of usable space. Inadequate storage accommodations, dated decorating choices, and cramped living quarters were the norm for the 400. The 400 S2 is most notable for its redesigned interior.

Sailors seeking a more comfortable cruising experience would likely choose the 400 S2, but others, especially sailors accustomed to the old 400 design, may not feel any particular in upgrading to the more modern version.

---

Lagoon 400 S2 Vs 380

The Lagoon  380 offers plenty of space, nice views, and a straightforward design scheme. It also has the much-lauded bilge pumps installed.

However, the 400 S2 offers better sun protection at the helm, a more powerful motor, increased storage space, and a sleeker design. The 380 is a smaller vessel that requires less fuel but will not accommodate as many passengers as comfortably as the 400 S2.

---

Why Sail the Lagoon 400S2

• Increased space in cabins and common areas
• Modernized furnishings, paneling, flooring, and cabinetry
• Airy and well-lit below deck (with natural light)
• Ample storage
• The engine is located away from living spaces, making for a quieter cruise
• Sails competently in windy weather and choppy water

---

In Conclusion

In the 400 S2, the 400 has gone from a serviceable boat design to a comfortable, well-thought-out vessel that takes into account the people on board who will occupy the space.

The thoughtful overhaul was intended to upgrade the interior and add more openness to the layout of the boat. This open feeling creates a better sense of freedom, encouraging relaxation and enjoyment of the trip.

A 400 S2 is not designed for luxury but rather hominess and stability. This vessel is reliable, sturdy, and rarely suffers from machination errors or malfunctions, making it a trustworthy ocean yacht to charter.

The Lagoon 500 Catamaran is an updated and improved version of the earlier Lagoon 440 model. The 500 was designed with a special emphasis on luxury without compromising efficiency, ease, or aesthetics.

The following Lagoon 500 Catamaran Review will touch on the most important aspects of the vessel that will help you determine if the Lagoon 500 is the right boat for your charter experience.

---

Accommodations

The Lagoon 500 is only 51 feet in length, which may seem small to the novice catamaran sailor, but, in reality, is the ideal size for its purposes. The boat may be deceptively small, but Lagoon does not skimp on the luxuriousness of the living spaces.

Decks are wide, below-deck cabins have plenty of room to move, the galley is convenient, and the wood and accents used for decoration are tasteful. Storage space is ample, another significant improvement over the 440 models. The stateroom spares no expense in layout and design.

From its furnishings to the indulgent shower stall, the stateroom is reminiscent of a pricey hotel suite instead of a living space aboard a ship.

---

Under Sail

Under sail, the Lagoon 500 handles with ease and transitions smoothly at different speeds and conditions. The catamaran handles wind well but can lose some speed in stiff wind. This loss of speed does not detract from the thrill of the sailing experience.

In fact, the 500’s design allows for ease of control even in poor weather circumstances and choppy water. These undemanding controls make the 500 a vessel perfect for even a novice sailor to operate without anxiety or difficulty.

---

Lagoon 500 Compare to Other Catamaran Models

Lagoon manufactures a variety of catamaran models for cruising. Here’s how the 500 measures up to some of the other models available.

---

Lagoon 500 vs. 52

The main difference between the 500 and the 52 is the setup of the aft mast. This sail has been raised on the Lagoon 52 to make the vessel faster and easier to steer, but it is common for sailors who have driven both vessels to comment that there is no real significant difference in the sailing.

---

Lagoon 500 vs. 420

The Lagoon 420 is an older vessel with an outdated design and a motor that has long since been changed in designs that are more modern. Compared to the 500, the 420 is old-fashioned and has the feeling of being too heavy or bogged down.

 

---

Lagoon 500 vs. 440

The 500 tends to handle bad weather a bit better than the Lagoon 440, but the 440 offers a spectacular view due to its layout. Both are very similar at first glance, but small details may appeal to or repel prospective sailors depending on personal preference.

---

Why Sail the Lagoon 560

• The flying bridge design raises the helm, making the vessel easier to navigate and steer
• Comfortable, spacious living areas
• Lots of room on the deck to spread out
• Quiet engine
• Window designs provide more shade, and less direct sunlight, keeping the interior cooler.

---

In Conclusion

The Lagoon 500 is a conscientiously designed vessel that employs the sailing techniques of larger Lagoon models into a more compact vessel. The 500 is ideal for cruising but is not built for excessive speeds.

A novice sailor would find this boat easy to operate and a joy to sail. The vastness of space on board will accommodate a family or group of friends without everyone feeling they are squeezed together. The Lagoon 500 is a smart choice for a long or short family charter trip.

This Lagoon 450 catamaran review introduces a boat based on designs few cruising catamaran enthusiasts thought needed changing.

The changes made produced a comfortable cruising catamaran. This boat is stable when anchored and offers wonderful visibility, space, and great comfort. The features incorporated make the Lagoon 450 a near-perfect cruising boat at an affordable price.

---

The  Flybridge 

One of the best key features of this cat 450 is the raised flybridge, located 15 feet above the waterline, over the interior cabin.

This gives the 450 great visibility and acts as the main cockpit except during inclement weather. The flybridge provides access to all power and sail systems, increasing passenger space for relaxation.

---

Stairway for a Safe Operation!

The 450 incorporates changes that increase safe operation for crew and visitors. The inclusion of a stairway leading from the aft saloon to the flybridge allows the crew to stay within cockpit protection.

No movement to the outboard hulls occurs to access the flybridge area. Transom modification allows safer boarding from a dinghy placed between the two hulls.

Fittings and equipment for subsystems use major brands, reducing maintenance and repair time.

---

 The Key Features of the Lagoon 450

The Lagoon 450 is a large, comfortable boat, making it an excellent choice for charter. The boat is well constructed and fits out.

Everything needed to ensure the safe, efficient operation is in place at an excellent price. The 450 is available in three or four cabin designs.

Wuy Sail the Lagoon 450

•  A special bridge deck undercarriage mitigates a problem most catamaran vessels have in swells.
• The designers have provided natural lighting and ventilation flow to all areas.
• The choice of creature comforts, important for boats offered for charter, is well done and in line with the modern design of the Lagoon 450.
• A well-thought-out addition was the interior placement of the remote navigation station. This allows complete operation of the boat while protected from inclement weather.
• The technical sailing aspects of the 450 please sailing catamaran purists. This boat moves well, even in light air but is at home in 20-knot trade wind-type breezes as well.
• Despite boat size, the power and maneuverability offered by twin screws make handling easier than expected. Top that off with a sales price that should allow for more affordable charter rates.
• A factor appreciated by charter customers is the living space on this boat, comparable to boats of a larger size.

---

In Conclusion

The Lagoon 450 is a catamaran of the highest quality for the price asked. It has space and fits well enough to allow distance cruising or handling family-sized crews. The Lagoon 450 is a good balance of cost, comfort, and performance, making it an excellent choice for chartered operation.

The proceeding Lagoon 380 catamaran review will cover each aspect of the vessel, but most especially the pros and cons of the boat via design, performance, and construction.

---

Accommodation

The most consistently lauded characteristic of the Lagoon 380 is the comfortable accommodations. The design of the interior of the boat has been kept simple and straightforward.

The galley-up design makes the preparation of meals more convenient, the distribution of meals and clean-up easier, and the position of the stove allows the boat to remain cool.

The comfortable seats allow passengers to lounge in comfort while enjoying incredible views through the windows of the salon. Overhead clearance is ample, so feeling cramped is not a concern. Even the cabins and staterooms are blessed with a sense of open space that is usually lacking in a catamaran.

---

Under Sail

Power and speed are not what the Lagoon 380 is known for the most, but it gets the job done. The engine performs well and can handle even choppy waters with ease. Docking is a cinch, and the boat is not difficult to control, even in poor weather conditions.

The Lagoon 380 Most Popular Sailing Spots.

Europe is a catamaran sailing hot spot for many proficient sailors. Greece often takes top honors for dream sailing destinations with brilliant blue water and gorgeous weather.

Croatia is another hot spot that is not widely known to novice sailors. Croatia is abundant in coastal towns that welcome visitors, so stretching your sea legs on solid ground for a day excursion is almost as much fun as sailing the Lagoon.

Another hot spot worthy of the journey is the British Virgin Islands. The islands are eye candy to a sailor, with pristine beaches and mysterious coves and inlets to explore. The islands are also fascinating to visit on foot!
