Verdict
The Lagoon 400 S2 is a well-balanced cruising catamaran with strong livability, easy access, and predictable handling, making it a practical choice for family and charter use. It is not a performance-first boat, but its moderate sail plan, shallow draft, and wide beam suit relaxed coastal sailing.
Avantages
- +Wide beam creates generous living space and stability at anchor
- +Shallow draft is useful for coastal cruising and island-hopping
- +3-cabin layout is comfortable for small groups
- +Twin-engine setup helps close-quarters maneuvering
- +Strong charter-friendly reputation and sensible systems
Inconvénients
- −Not designed for high-performance sailing
- −Wide beam can make marina berthing less convenient
- −Limited single-handed sailing appeal compared with smaller monohulls
- −Charter-equipped examples may show more wear than private boats
The ADONIS is a 2009 Lagoon 400 S2 catamaran, not the 2010/37-foot/2-cabin/30-guest configuration stated in the query. Verified sources describe it as a 40-foot Lagoon 400 S2 with 3 cabins and accommodation for 6 guests, which is consistent with a cruising charter catamaran rather than a large-event platform.[1][10][18]
Design is typical of Lagoon’s cruising approach: broad hulls, a wide bridge deck, and a layout focused on usable space rather than racing efficiency. Public specifications show a length of about 11.97 m, beam of 7.25 m, and draft around 1.21 m, all of which support comfortable coastal cruising and good interior volume.[1][5][9]
On the water, the 400 S2 is generally viewed as a stable, forgiving catamaran with twin engines and a moderate sail plan. That combination helps in docking and maneuvering, while the shallow draft opens up anchorages that deeper-keel boats may miss; the trade-off is that it is not especially lively or fast under sail compared with more performance-oriented cats.[4][11][13]
For livability, the model’s main strength is space: even 3-cabin versions are known for practical saloon and cockpit areas, with enough tankage and systems for extended charter use. As a value proposition, it remains attractive because it delivers a proven cruising layout and charter-friendly utility, though condition and maintenance history matter more than the model name on boats of this age.[1][6][16]
