Lagoon 60 for Sale

Lagoon 60 Specifications

The headline engineering change from the Lagoon 620 is the construction method. The 60 uses infused composite construction with vinylester resin rather than the 620’s vacuum-infused polyester GRP. Vinylester provides superior osmosis resistance, better fibre-to-resin ratio, and improved structural stiffness per kilogramme — a meaningful upgrade for a hull that will spend years in warm tropical waters. The balsa-cored sandwich above the waterline and solid laminate below follow production catamaran convention, but the infusion process is tighter and more controlled than the 620-era techniques.

The vertical bow is the most visually distinctive feature. Borrowed from VPLP’s racing designs, it lengthens the waterline by approximately 0.5 metres compared to a conventional raked bow of the same LOA, increasing theoretical hull speed and improving the motion in head seas by preventing the bow from slamming into wave faces. Combined with the aft-positioned mast — another VPLP innovation applied across the new-generation range — the sail plan balances better upwind, reducing weather helm and the tendency to round up in gusts.

The self-tacking jib on a curved track forward of the mast crosses the boat without sheet handling, making tacking a single-person operation from the flybridge helm. This is a genuine practical advance for a 28-tonne catamaran: on the predecessor 620, tacking required coordinated crew action on the foredeck and at the primary winches. The 60’s self-tacking system eliminates that complexity entirely, allowing a couple to sail the boat confidently without additional crew.

Performance & Sailing

Upwind: The Lagoon 60 carries 205 m² of upwind sail area (130 m² mainsail, 75 m² self-tacking jib), producing a sail-area-to-displacement ratio that is competitive for a 28.5-tonne cruising catamaran. In 15 knots of true wind, expect 6.5–7.5 knots upwind at approximately 50–55 degrees apparent. The aft-positioned mast and self-tacking jib improve upwind balance significantly compared to the 620 — the boat tracks straighter with less weather helm, and tacking is a controlled, single-person manoeuvre rather than a crew evolution. The 1.45-metre draft provides sufficient lateral resistance to keep leeway manageable without restricting access to the shallower anchorages that are a catamaran’s privilege.

Reaching & downwind: This is where the Lagoon 60 comes alive. With the optional 170 m² Code 0 deployed in 15–20 knots of true wind, the boat accelerates to 10–12 knots on a broad reach — genuine sailing speeds that transform ocean passages from a motoring exercise into a sailing one. In sustained trade wind conditions (15–20 knots, 120–150 degrees apparent), 9–10 knots is a realistic cruising speed under sail alone. The VPLP hull design rewards reaching and running: the fine entries slice through the chop while the waterline beam generates the stability needed to carry full sail area without excessive heel or rounding up.

Under power: The standard twin Yanmar 4LV115 diesels produce 115 HP per side — sufficient for marina manoeuvring and motoring in light airs at approximately 8–9 knots. The optional 150 HP Yanmar 4LV150 upgrade delivers approximately 10 knots at cruise and is strongly recommended for owners who plan extended motoring passages in light-wind areas such as the Mediterranean in summer. The 1,200-litre fuel capacity provides a motoring range of approximately 350–450 nautical miles at 8-knot cruise, depending on conditions and load. Twin engines with saildrives provide excellent close-quarters manoeuvrability through differential thrust, and the Lagoon 60’s joystick docking system (available as an option) simplifies berthing the 9.87-metre beam in tight Mediterranean harbours.

Sea-keeping: CE Category A (Ocean) certifies the Lagoon 60 for unrestricted offshore sailing. The 9.87-metre beam provides exceptional form stability — heeling is virtually non-existent, and the motion in a seaway is the slow, gentle movement of a massive stable platform rather than the snap roll of a lighter catamaran. The vertical bow improves the motion in head seas compared to the 620’s conventional raked bow, reducing pitching and slamming. The flat bridgedeck underside will slap in steep short chop at speed, which is characteristic of all bridgedeck catamarans regardless of builder, but the 60’s 28.5-tonne displacement dampens this better than lighter boats in the same size class.

Passage-making: The Lagoon 60 is a proven bluewater yacht. Multiple examples have completed transatlantic crossings since the model entered service. The combination of 1,200-litre fuel tanks, 800-litre water tanks (with optional watermaker), CE Category A certification, and the VPLP hull design makes the 60 genuinely capable of sustained offshore sailing. Owner reports from trade wind passages describe comfortable average speeds of 8–9 knots, with daily runs of 180–210 nautical miles in favourable conditions.

Interior Layout & Comfort

The interior was designed by Nauta Design of Milan, continuing the design language established across the new-generation Lagoon range — light oak woodwork, white laminate surfaces, neutral-toned soft furnishings, and an emphasis on natural light through full-height glazing. At 9.87 m of beam, each hull is wide enough to accommodate full-beam cabins with island double berths, standing headroom of approximately 2.05 m throughout, walk-in wardrobes, and en-suite heads with separate shower stalls. The overall interior volume approaches that of a 70-foot monohull — without the monohull’s heel angle.

Owner’s version (3 cabins): The signature layout places a full-beam owner’s suite in the port hull, spanning the entire hull width with an island king-size berth, a dedicated dressing area, a desk or settee, and a large en-suite head with separate shower. This is not a “master cabin” — it is a genuine stateroom that rivals the accommodation on 80-foot monohull sailing yachts. The starboard hull accommodates two guest cabins with individual en-suite heads, and a crew cabin with separate access is available forward in the port hull. This three-cabin configuration is the preferred choice for private owners cruising as a couple with occasional guests.

Charter versions (4 and 5 cabins): The four-cabin layout provides two doubles per hull with four en-suite heads — the most common configuration for crewed charter operations in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The five-cabin version adds a crew cabin forward, accommodating up to ten guests plus professional crew. Both charter configurations sacrifice the full-beam owner’s suite for symmetrical cabin arrangements that maximise guest capacity and revenue potential.

Saloon and galley: The main-deck saloon is a single open-plan space connecting galley, dining, and lounge areas, with full-height glazing on both sides and a forward-facing panoramic window that floods the space with natural light. The galley is positioned at the aft end of the saloon, opening directly to the cockpit through a large sliding door — the galley-up arrangement standard across all Lagoon models. At this size, the galley is fully professional: a four-burner induction hob, full-size oven, large refrigerator and freezer drawers, and counter space adequate for provisioning a multi-week passage or a crewed charter with ten guests.

Flybridge: The flybridge is the Lagoon 60’s primary living space in fair weather and one of its most compelling features. At approximately 30 m², it accommodates a forward helm station with bench seating, a large U-shaped settee with dining table amidships, and a generous sunpad aft. A rigid bimini with optional solar panels provides permanent shade. All sail controls are led to the flybridge via electric winches, allowing a single person to sail the Lagoon 60 in moderate conditions without leaving the flybridge — a meaningful practical advantage for short-handed cruising couples. The elevated position provides 360-degree visibility, making the flybridge helm the preferred sailing position.

Cockpit and aft platform: The aft cockpit provides a second outdoor dining area with seating for eight to ten, direct access to the saloon through the sliding galley door, and steps down to the swim platform. A hydraulic tender garage beneath the cockpit sole is available on most specifications, accommodating a 3.5-metre tender with outboard — eliminating the need for davits and simplifying tender deployment and recovery. The swim platform itself provides direct water access for swimming, snorkelling, and dinghy boarding.

Ownership & Running Costs

The Lagoon 60 sits at the intersection of production catamaran economics and superyacht-adjacent ownership costs. It is large enough to require professional maintenance, wide enough to command premium berthing fees, and expensive enough that charter income becomes a serious consideration for many buyers.

• New-build pricing: A new Lagoon 60 lists from approximately €2,200,000–€2,500,000 ex VAT in three-cabin owner’s configuration with standard engines and equipment. With the 150 HP engine upgrade, watermaker, generator, air conditioning, full electronics package (B&G or Raymarine MFD suite), solar panels, hydraulic tender garage, and premium interior finish, a well-specified example reaches €2,800,000–€3,200,000 ex VAT. Charter-specification five-cabin versions with professional crew quarters can exceed €3,000,000. European VAT at 20–24% applies to Mediterranean-delivered boats; export to non-EU destinations avoids VAT entirely.
• Used market: Early-production Lagoon 60s from 2020–2022 are beginning to appear on the secondary market. Private-owner examples in three- or four-cabin configuration list from approximately €1,800,000–€2,600,000 depending on specification, engine hours, and condition. Ex-charter examples, where available, trade at significant discounts. The used market is thin — the 60 is a relatively young model with modest production volumes — so pricing is influenced heavily by individual boat condition and equipment level.
• Annual operating costs: Insurance at 1.0–1.5% of hull value (€20,000–€40,000), marina berthing for a 9.87-metre-beam catamaran (charged at beam × 2 at most Mediterranean marinas — expect €25,000–€60,000 annually depending on location), twin Yanmar engine and saildrive servicing (€6,000–€10,000), antifouling on two hulls (€5,000–€8,000), annual rigging inspection, electronics maintenance, and soft furnishing upkeep. Total annual running costs in Mediterranean waters are typically €80,000–€150,000, excluding fuel and professional crew.
• Charter income: A four- or five-cabin Lagoon 60 in a BVI, Greek, Croatian, or French Caribbean charter fleet generates €150,000–€300,000 in annual gross charter revenue depending on utilisation, weekly rate, crewed vs bareboat, and management company. Net income after management fees (typically 20–30%), maintenance, insurance, and crew costs is 25–40% of gross. Charter-leaseback programmes through Lagoon’s partner operators (Dream Yacht Charter, Navigare, Sunsail) are the primary acquisition route for buyers seeking to offset ownership costs.
• Crewing: The Lagoon 60 can be sailed by an experienced couple, and many private owners operate without professional crew. However, the boat’s size, value, and systems complexity mean that a professional captain or captain-cook team is common — particularly in charter operations and for owners who cruise seasonally. Crew costs for a captain in the Mediterranean run €3,000–€5,000 per month plus berthing and provisioning. A captain-cook team adds €5,000–€8,000 per month.

The key economic question for any Lagoon 60 buyer is whether the charter income potential justifies the acquisition cost. For buyers who will sail privately and never charter, the 60 is an expensive cruising yacht with high fixed costs. For buyers who can achieve 15–20 weeks of charter per year, the income substantially offsets ownership costs and can make the economics of a €2.5M+ yacht surprisingly manageable.

Buying Guide: Lagoon 60

New vs used: The Lagoon 60 is currently in production and available new through the Lagoon dealer network, with build slots typically quoted for 12–18 months depending on specification and production scheduling at the Bordeaux facility. Used examples are beginning to enter the market as early buyers upgrade or exit charter programmes, but the secondary market remains thin. Buyers seeking immediate availability should explore the used Lagoon 620 as a larger, older alternative at a lower price point.

The Lagoon range context: The 60 sits between the Lagoon 55 (smaller, lower operating costs, more accessible for short-handed sailing) and the Lagoon 65 (the absolute flagship, with full superyacht-grade systems and interior). Buyers choosing between the 55 and 60 should consider whether the 60’s additional beam, cabin space, and charter revenue potential justify the approximately €800,000–€1,200,000 price premium. For buyers moving up from the 50 or 51, the step to the 60 represents a category change — not just a size increase — with correspondingly higher operating costs and berthing challenges.

Key Considerations for Buyers

• Cabin layout: The most consequential decision. The three-cabin owner’s version with the full-beam port-hull master suite is the aspirational layout and commands the strongest resale values among private buyers. The four-cabin charter version maximises guest capacity and revenue. The five-cabin version adds crew quarters. Buyers intending to charter first and cruise later should consider whether the charter layout will suit their eventual private use — converting between layouts post-build is expensive and rarely practical.
• Engine choice: The 150 HP Yanmar upgrade adds approximately €40,000–€60,000 to the build price but delivers meaningfully better motoring speed (10 knots vs 8–9 knots) and improved response in strong currents, crosswinds during berthing, and tight-quarters manoeuvring. For Mediterranean sailing, where light summer winds mean extended motoring, the 150 HP option is strongly recommended. Resale values reflect this preference.
• Charter programme structure: If entering a charter-leaseback programme, scrutinise the contract terms: duration (typically 5–8 years), guaranteed income vs revenue share, maintenance responsibility allocation, boat condition at programme exit, and buyback or residual value provisions. The economics vary significantly between operators and charter destinations.
• Saildrive seals: The Yanmar saildrives use rubber lip seals that degrade over time regardless of use. Budget for saildrive seal replacement every 5–7 years (€3,000–€5,000 per side). A failed saildrive seal allows water ingress into the engine compartment and is the most common emergency on Lagoon catamarans of this generation.
• 9.87-metre beam berthing: The Lagoon 60 requires catamaran-width berths at every marina. In the Mediterranean, berths for a 10-metre-class beam are scarce and priced at 1.5–2× the cost of a monohull berth of equivalent LOA. In popular cruising grounds (Côte d’Azur, Balearics, Sardinia, BVI), confirm berth availability and cost before committing to a home port or cruising itinerary.
• Survey and sea trial: When viewing a used Lagoon 60, engage a multihull-experienced surveyor. The survey should cover bridgedeck laminate, hull-to-crossbeam joints, all structural bulkheads, mast step compression loading, saildrive seal condition, and core sampling in the bridgedeck and foredeck to check for moisture ingress. On the sea trial, assess engine alignment, saildrive vibration, autopilot tracking, electric winch operation, and the self-tacking jib system. At this value, a thorough survey is a small fraction of the total investment.

The Lagoon 60 rewards buyers who are clear-eyed about the financial commitment and operational demands of owning a 60-foot catamaran. It is a serious offshore yacht that delivers a level of space, comfort, and sailing capability that no monohull under 80 feet can match — but it demands a correspondingly serious approach to ownership planning, maintenance budgeting, and berth logistics.

Competitors & Alternatives

The 58–65 ft premium cruising catamaran segment is a specialised market with limited production volume from each builder. Competitors offer varying balances of production efficiency, semi-custom finish, sailing performance, and charter suitability. Any buyer considering the Lagoon 60 should understand the principal alternatives.

Lagoon 60 vs Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67

The Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67 (20.44 m LOA, 10.24 m beam, approximately 35,400 kg displacement, built from 2019) is the flagship of Lagoon’s principal French rival. At over 20 metres LOA and 10 metres of beam, the Alegria 67 is a substantially larger yacht — more volume, more cabin space, and a longer waterline that translates to higher hull speed. The interior by Berret-Racoupeau is contemporary and well-executed, with a focus on indoor-outdoor integration. New pricing starts at approximately €3,000,000+, placing the Alegria in a higher price bracket. The Lagoon 60 counters with the VPLP hull design (widely regarded as producing better-sailing hulls per tonne), the self-tacking jib that simplifies short-handed sailing, and a lower entry price that is approximately €500,000–€1,000,000 less. The Alegria 67 is the choice for buyers who prioritise maximum volume and prestige. The Lagoon 60 is the more manageable, better-value proposition for a couple who want to sail their own boat.

Lagoon 60 vs Lagoon 50

The Lagoon 50 (14.76 m LOA, 8.10 m beam, 19,956 kg displacement, built 2018–2021, now replaced by the Lagoon 51) sits two steps down in the Lagoon range and serves as the most common internal cross-shop for buyers considering the 60. The 50 is nearly four metres shorter, two metres narrower, and 8.5 tonnes lighter — differences that translate to dramatically lower berthing costs, easier handling, and the ability to fit into marinas that cannot accommodate the 60’s 9.87-metre beam. What the 60 provides over the 50 is transformative: the full-beam owner’s suite, genuine stand-up headroom throughout, a flybridge large enough for a dining table and sunpad simultaneously, and the charter revenue potential of a 60-foot platform. Buyers stepping up from a 50 to a 60 should understand that operating costs approximately double — this is a category change, not a modest upgrade.

Lagoon 60 vs Sunreef 60

The Sunreef 60 (18.29 m LOA, approximately 10.04 m beam, built in Gdansk, Poland) is a semi-custom catamaran where each hull is finished to the owner’s individual specification. Build quality and interior finish are a class above production-line Lagoons — bespoke woodwork, custom layouts, premium hardware, and the option of the Sunreef 60 Eco (with integrated solar panels in the hull surfaces and optional electric propulsion). New Sunreef 60 pricing starts at approximately €3,500,000 and can exceed €5,000,000 with full customisation. Used examples are rare and hold their value well. The Sunreef is the choice for buyers who prioritise bespoke finish, exclusivity, and are willing to pay a significant premium for it. The Lagoon 60 offers volume-production benefits: better parts availability, a larger global service network, faster delivery, more comparable sales data for resale pricing, and an entry price that is €1,000,000–€2,000,000 lower.

Lagoon 60 vs Privilege 510

The Privilege 510 (15.55 m LOA, 8.55 m beam, approximately 18,700 kg displacement, built by Privilège Marine in Les Sables-d’Olonne, France) is a smaller, more specialised competitor that occupies a different market position. The Privilege brand emphasises build quality, offshore capability, and a devoted owner community over production volume and charter fleet penetration. The 510 is nearly three metres shorter and substantially lighter than the Lagoon 60, making it easier to handle and berth, with lower operating costs. The Privilege’s interior finish is typically a step above Lagoon in material quality and craftsmanship, reflecting its higher price per metre. Against the 60, the Privilege 510 is the choice for experienced sailors who want a premium, owner-focused catamaran for long-range cruising and value build quality over interior volume. The Lagoon 60 is the choice for buyers who want maximum space, flybridge living, and the option of charter income — at a lower price per square metre of living space.
