Lagoon catamarans are known for their spacious accommodations, innovative design and better than average sailing capabilities. They are popular with both live aboard sailors and catamaran charters. Lagoons catamaran models range in size from 38 feet to 78 feet in length. They are also the builders of the Lagoon 380, the most popular catamaran model in history. Currently, 14 models are offered by Lagoon with a variety of configurations, floor plans and accessories.
Lagoon was founded in 1984 by Jeanneau, a high volume monohull sailboat builder that was eventually purchased by Beneteau. The catamarans are designed by internationally renowned architects Lauriot Prevost and Van Peteghem of VPLP and built in X, France. With more than 4,700 Lagoon catamarans built to date, Lagoon is the largest producer of multihulls in the world.
