Lagoon catamarans for sale.

Lagoon was founded in 1984 in Bordeaux, France, and is now part of Groupe Beneteau — the world's largest sailboat manufacturer. Lagoon dominates the production cruising catamaran market by volume: roughly 60 percent of new catamarans built globally each year carry the Lagoon badge. The Lagoon 380 alone reached nearly 1,000 hulls between 1999 and 2017, making it the single most-built cruising catamaran in history.

Lagoon's design philosophy prioritises interior volume, level living space, and conservative cruising performance over outright sailing speed. The result is catamarans that feel more like floating apartments than racing boats — well-suited to family cruising, liveaboard, and charter operations. Critics point to Lagoon's relatively heavy displacement and modest upwind performance; advocates point to the proven reliability, deep parts and service network, strong resale value, and the simple fact that more people buy them than any other brand.

For buyers, Lagoon's scale matters practically. Service is available in nearly every Mediterranean port. Parts are commonly stocked or quickly available. Surveyors across the Med have hundreds of Lagoon inspections behind them. Resale liquidity is the highest of any catamaran brand — Lagoons sell faster and to more buyers than equivalent-priced alternatives. The trade-off is that Lagoons are also more commonly chartered, which means a higher proportion of any given used Lagoon you find will be ex-charter. Our charter-vs-owner guide walks through how to navigate that.
