Urteil
A well-balanced cruising catamaran that prioritizes space, easy handling and charter-friendly comfort over pure sailing performance. The 3-cabin layout should suit small groups well, though the boat remains more about relaxed passagemaking than spirited upwind sailing.
Vorteile
- +Spacious beam and large interior volume for a 42ft catamaran
- +Shallow draft suits anchorages and marina access
- +Simple sail handling with self-tacking jib
- +Strong liveability for 6 guests in 3 cabins
- +Twin-engine setup helps close-quarters manoeuvring
Nachteile
- −Not a performance-oriented sailor, especially upwind
- −Wide stance can make marina berths and docking demanding in tight spaces
- −Space and systems add cost versus monohulls of similar length
- −Heavier cruising configuration can reduce responsiveness
The Lagoon 42 uses the brand’s familiar emphasis on volume, broad living spaces and practical deck flow. In 42 feet, it delivers a noticeably large platform, with good separation between social areas and cabins, and a layout that works especially well for private cruising or charter use. The 3-cabin, 6-guest configuration should feel more generous than many monohulls of similar length.
On the water, the Lagoon 42 is generally regarded as a comfortable cruising cat rather than a lively sailor. Twin engines and a self-tacking headsail make it straightforward to manage short-handed, and the shallow draft is useful for coastal cruising and anchoring. That said, it is not designed for aggressive upwind performance, and its beam and cruising weight mean it will feel more settled than sporty.
Comfort is one of its strongest points: light-filled accommodation, good headroom, and wide hulls contribute to a relaxed onboard experience. For guests, it offers the easy-living characteristics that made the model popular in the charter market. Value is solid if the priority is space, simplicity and charter appeal, though buyers seeking sharper sailing manners may find better alternatives elsewhere.
