Urteil
The Lagoon 40 is a practical charter-focused catamaran with strong livability, a bright interior and easy sailing manners. It is not a performance cat, but it balances comfort, space and simple handling well for coastal cruising and family charter use.
Vorteile
- +Spacious 4-cabin charter layout with good privacy
- +Bright saloon and cockpit connection suited to social cruising
- +Shallow draft helps access more anchorages and harbors
- +Simple sail plan with self-tacking jib eases short-handed sailing
Nachteile
- −Not a high-performance catamaran; moderate sailing speed expected
- −Wide beam can make marina berths and docking more demanding
- −Charter-oriented layout reduces storage and owner-suite luxury
- −Twin-engine handling helps, but close-quarters maneuvering still needs care
The Lagoon 40 follows the brand’s familiar charter-first design language: a wide, stable catamaran with a square-ish hull form, large beam and a layout optimized around living space rather than pure speed. The 2019 4+1 cabin version is especially geared toward charter fleets and larger groups, so the emphasis is on functionality, visibility and easy movement rather than sporty styling or aggressive performance.
On the water, the boat is generally known for predictable, forgiving handling. The self-tacking jib and twin engines make it manageable for short-handed crews, and the shallow draft is useful in cruising grounds with limited depth. That said, its proportions and cruising-focused sail plan mean it will not feel especially lively compared with performance-oriented cats, and close-quarters marina work still requires attention because of the wide beam.
Comfort is a major strength. The Lagoon 40’s bright interior, social saloon and cockpit flow suit family cruising and bareboat charter use, while the 4-cabin arrangement increases sleeping capacity at the expense of extra stowage and more compact private spaces. Overall value is strong if the priority is accommodation, ease of use and charter versatility; buyers seeking sharper sailing feel or a more premium owner’s layout may find it less compelling.
