Urteil
A capable cruising catamaran with strong livability, shallow draft, and a layout that suits charter or family use. It is not especially spirited under sail, but it delivers predictable handling, useful volume, and solid value in the used market.
Vorteile
- +Spacious 39ft catamaran layout with good beam and living volume
- +Shallow 1.21m draft expands anchoring and coastal cruising options
- +4-cabin, 10-guest configuration suits charter or larger crews
- +Strong comfort and deck-space usability for a boat of this size
Nachteile
- −Performance is more cruising-oriented than lively or sporty
- −Upwind sailing is limited by typical catamaran form and moderate rig
- −Complexity and maintenance can be higher than on a monohull
- −Tankage and systems are adequate, but not exceptional for extended off-grid use
The Lagoon 400 S2 is a well-known cruising catamaran from a builder with a strong charter and family-cruising reputation. At 39 feet overall with a wide beam and shallow draft, it prioritizes interior volume, stability, and easy coastal access over performance sailing. The 2016 example with 4 cabins and 10-guest capacity fits the model’s original role as a practical multi-cabin cruiser.
On the water, the 400 S2 is generally expected to be steady and forgiving rather than fast or highly responsive. Its catamaran hull form provides good initial stability and comfortable passage-making, but sailing efficiency is more moderate than on performance-oriented cats, especially when working to windward. Handling is usually straightforward for short-handed crews, though dockside maneuvering still requires awareness of the wide beam and twin-engine setup.
Comfort is one of the boat’s strongest points. The cabin layout, saloon space, and outdoor living areas make it attractive for family cruising or charter use, and the shallow draft is a real practical advantage. Value is another strength: as a used model, the Lagoon 400 S2 remains popular because it offers a proven layout, good livability, and broad market support, even if it does not deliver standout sailing performance.
