Urteil
The Lagoon 40 is a roomy, charter-friendly cruising catamaran with strong interior volume, easy systems access, and low-draft versatility. It is not a performance boat, but it offers predictable handling and solid value for family cruising or bareboat use.
Vorteile
- +Large beam and high volume for a 40-foot catamaran
- +Shallow draft suits coastal cruising and anchoring
- +Bright, practical interior with good charter layout
- +Easy sail plan and forgiving handling for short-handed crews
- +Multiple cabin options and broad market support
Nachteile
- −Upwind performance is modest compared with sportier cats
- −Light helm feel but limited feedback in stronger breeze
- −Comfort-focused layout can reduce storage and outdoor space efficiency
- −Standard engine setup is adequate rather than powerful
The Lagoon 40 follows the brand’s modern cruising-catamaran formula: broad beam, raised accommodation, and a layout designed around volume and ease of use. At about 39 feet overall with a 6.76 m beam and 1.35 m draft, it prioritizes interior space and shallow-water access over sailing sharpness. The design is practical rather than sleek, which suits the boat’s charter and family-cruising role.
On the water, the Lagoon 40 is generally easy to handle and approachable for a short-handed crew. Its sail plan and twin-engine setup support simple docking and maneuvering, but it is not aimed at fast or especially lively upwind sailing. The boat’s wide stance adds stability at rest and in light-to-moderate cruising conditions, though it remains more of a comfortable cruiser than a performance catamaran.
Comfort is one of its strongest points. The 2021 version is typically offered with multiple cabin layouts, including 4-cabin configurations, and the interior is known for good natural light and usable communal space. For an 8-guest charter or family cruising setup, it delivers strong liveaboard practicality. Value is solid in the market because the model is established, widely supported, and easy to place in both private and charter use, but buyers seeking sharper sailing manners may find it less compelling than more performance-oriented rivals.
