Avis sur le Lagoon 40

The Lagoon 40 is a modern cruising catamaran from VPLP with the brand’s familiar emphasis on space, easy living, and manageable systems. At just under 39 feet, it uses its wide beam well, delivering a roomy cockpit, a bright saloon, and a layout that works especially well for charter fleets and family cruising. The design is practical rather than aggressive, with a clear focus on ergonomics and onboard livability.

On the water, the Lagoon 40 is generally described as stable, predictable, and easy to handle, especially with twin engines for docking and short-handed maneuvering. It is capable enough for coastal passages and relaxed cruising, but it is not a performance-oriented catamaran; the trade-off for comfort and volume is a more measured sailing feel, particularly when sailing close to the wind or in lighter conditions.

Comfort is one of its strongest points. Four-cabin versions provide a useful mix of privacy and capacity, and the boat’s interior volume is a major advantage for extended stays aboard. That said, the wide platform can make marina access less convenient, and buyers prioritizing spirited sailing may find it more conservative than some rivals. Overall, it offers solid value for crews who want space, simplicity, and easy cruising rather than maximum speed.
