Frequently asked questions
Who makes Lagoon catamarans?
Lagoon is a brand of Groupe Beneteau, based in Bordeaux, France. It began in 1984 as a project of Jeanneau Techniques Avancées and joined the Beneteau group in 1995, when Beneteau bought Construction Navale Bordeaux.
Where are Lagoon catamarans built?
Lagoon catamarans are designed and produced in Bordeaux, France. The yard has built there since the first Lagoon 55 launched in 1984, and it delivered its 7,000th catamaran in 2024.
Can you charter a Lagoon catamaran?
Yes, Lagoon catamarans are a standard sight in charter fleets worldwide. Models such as the 380, 400, 42 and 450 are offered bareboat or crewed in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and most other major charter regions.
Lagoon has built more cruising catamarans than any other yard: over 7,000 sailing and power multihulls delivered from Bordeaux, France, since 1984. The brand belongs to Groupe Beneteau, whose portfolio also includes Beneteau and Jeanneau, and its boats fill bareboat and crewed charter fleets worldwide.
From Jeanneau racing arm to Beneteau brand
Lagoon began in 1984 inside Jeanneau Techniques Avancées, the composites division of Jeanneau known for offshore racing multihulls. Its first boat, the Lagoon 55, carried race-bred engineering into a catamaran comfortable enough to live aboard, a rare mix at the time. Jeanneau later sold the operation to Construction Navale Bordeaux, and when Groupe Beneteau bought CNB in 1995, Lagoon came with it. Production has stayed in the Bordeaux area ever since, and the 7,000th catamaran left the yard in 2024.
The Lagoon range today
The sailing line runs from the Lagoon 40 and 43 through the 46, 51, 55 and 60 up to the Sixty 5 and the Seventy 7, the flagship. A new Lagoon 47 debuts in 2026 as the replacement for the 46. Lagoon also builds power catamarans, including the Sixty 7. All share the wide beam and shallow draft that made the brand a charter-fleet standard.
Lagoon catamarans for charter
Charter is where most sailors first step aboard a Lagoon. The 380, 400, 410, 42 and 450 are the models you meet most often in rental fleets, and all five appear among the Lagoon listings on GetBoat, alongside boats from sister brands Beneteau and Jeanneau.
