About the Lagoon 40

At 11.74 m the Lagoon 40 is in the most popular size class for cruising catamarans: big enough for a family or two couples, small enough for a couple to sail short-handed. Her beam of 6.76 m is typical for a cruising catamaran of this length.

Lagoon is a French builder and part of Groupe Beneteau. It is the world’s best-selling catamaran brand, and most of its sailing models are designed by VPLP. Because Lagoons are a staple of charter fleets, there is a large choice of used boats.

Buying a used Lagoon 40

• Check whether any builder’s warranty can be transferred to you.
• Compare equipment lists – solar, watermaker, generator and electronics make a big difference in price.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• Many Lagoon boats come out of charter fleets. Ask for the full maintenance log and read our guide Ex-charter or owner’s version?.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
