Verdict
The Lagoon 400 is a well-proven cruising catamaran with strong livability, a practical 4-cabin/4-bathroom layout, and easy family charter appeal. It is not a high-performance sailboat, but its stable platform, shallow draft, and twin-diesel setup make it a capable and comfortable coastal cruiser.
Avantages
- +Spacious 4-cabin, 4-bathroom layout suits families or charter groups
- +Stable catamaran platform with good shallow-water access
- +Reliable twin Yanmar diesel setup with practical maneuvering
- +Air conditioning and Wi‑Fi improve comfort at anchor
Inconvénients
- −Performance is modest compared with lighter, more modern cats
- −Older design with production ending in 2017
- −Not built for sporty sailing or tight docking without care
- −Fuel capacity is adequate but not exceptional for long-range passagemaking
The Lagoon 400 is a 2009-era cruising catamaran with a focus on volume and comfort rather than speed. Its actual length is 39.27 ft (11.97 m), so it is slightly shorter than the stated 40 ft class label, but it still offers the wide beam and open living spaces that define the model. The 4-cabin arrangement makes it especially suitable for charter use or large-family cruising.
On the water, the boat is generally known for predictable, relaxed handling rather than lively performance. Twin 29 hp Yanmar diesels provide practical low-speed control in harbors and help compensate for the boat’s size, while the shallow draft supports access to many anchorages. Sail performance is respectable for a cruising cat, but owners looking for faster acceleration or sharper upwind ability will find more performance-oriented designs elsewhere.
Comfort is the Lagoon 400’s main strength. The combination of four cabins, four bathrooms, air conditioning, and Wi‑Fi creates a strong liveaboard and charter profile, and the layout is well suited to shared cruising. The downside is that this comfort comes with the compromises common to production cruising cats: moderate sailing performance, older-vintage design, and a layout aimed more at space than at handling finesse.
In value terms, the model remains appealing because it is a proven platform with broad charter-market support and practical systems. It is a sensible choice for buyers prioritizing space, comfort, and easy cruising over speed or premium performance.
