About Lagoon
Lagoon is the world's largest builder of cruising catamarans, producing more multihull vessels than any other manufacturer. Founded in 1984 as a specialist division of Jeanneau, the brand launched its first model — the Lagoon 55 — in 1987 and was acquired by Groupe Beneteau in 1995. Today, Lagoon builds its catamarans at the CNB (Construction Navale Bordeaux) shipyard in Bordeaux and at partner facilities, with a product line spanning from the Lagoon 40 to the Lagoon Sixty 5.
The brand's design philosophy centres on liveability. Where many catamaran builders chase performance or racing pedigree, Lagoon has always prioritised interior volume, natural light, and the kind of open-plan living spaces that make a 42-foot catamaran feel like a 50-foot monohull. VPLP Design — the naval architecture firm behind Oracle Team USA's America's Cup winning trimaran — has been Lagoon's hull designer for decades, contributing the signature vertical bows and hard chines that define the modern Lagoon aesthetic.
Lagoon's dominance in the charter fleet is no accident. Charter operators from the Caribbean to Croatia prize the brand for its robust construction, easy handling, and forgiving sailing characteristics — qualities that make the boats accessible to bareboat charterers of varying experience levels. This charter exposure creates a powerful sales funnel: thousands of holidaymakers sail a Lagoon for the first time each year, and a meaningful percentage go on to purchase one. The Lagoon 42, in particular, became the best-selling cruising catamaran in history, with over 1,000 units delivered since its 2015 launch.
The company sits within Groupe Beneteau's multihull division alongside Excess (its sportier sister brand launched in 2018). Lagoon competes primarily with Fountaine Pajot, Leopard (Robertson and Caine), and Bali Catamarans (Catana Group) in the volume cruising catamaran segment. At the premium end, brands like Privilège and Sunreef occupy a different market tier. Lagoon's combination of scale, proven designs, and strong resale values has made it the default choice for first-time catamaran buyers and charter fleet operators alike.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lagoon
Where are Lagoon catamarans built?
Lagoon catamarans are primarily built at the CNB (Construction Navale Bordeaux) shipyard in Bordeaux, France. Some models are also produced at partner facilities within the Groupe Beneteau network. The brand's design work is done in collaboration with VPLP Design, the renowned naval architecture firm based in Paris.
What is the most popular Lagoon model?
The Lagoon 42 is the best-selling cruising catamaran in history, with over 1,000 units delivered since its introduction in 2015. It was succeeded by the Lagoon 43 in 2024. Other popular models include the Lagoon 46 and the Lagoon 50, both of which are widely used in the charter fleet and by private owners.
Are Lagoon catamarans good for long-distance cruising?
Yes. Lagoon catamarans are widely used for extended bluewater cruising and circumnavigations. The twin-hull design provides greater stability, more living space, and shallower draft than comparable monohulls. Models like the Lagoon 46 and 50 are specifically designed for long-range passages with generous water and fuel capacity.
How does Lagoon compare to Fountaine Pajot?
Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot are the two largest cruising catamaran builders in the world, both based in France. Lagoon emphasises liveability, interior volume, and ease of handling — making it particularly popular with charter fleets. Fountaine Pajot tends toward slightly sportier sailing performance and more contemporary interior styling. Both brands offer excellent build quality and strong resale values.
Does Lagoon build power catamarans?
Yes. Lagoon offers the Lagoon Motoryacht range, including models from 40 to 67 feet. These power catamarans combine the spacious multihull layout with motor yacht convenience, featuring flybridge helms, generous salon areas, and the fuel efficiency inherent in catamaran hull forms.
Do Lagoon boats hold their value?
Based on 354 tracked listings across 3 models, Lagoon boats retain an average of 78% of their value after five years. The Lagoon 42 shows the strongest retention at 78%, while the 42 retains around 78%. Lagoon's Groupe Beneteau backing and dealer network contribute to consistent resale demand.
