Avis sur le lagoon 46 (2024)

The Lagoon 46 follows the brand’s familiar emphasis on volume, visibility and easy living aboard. Its broad beam, raised helm and large social areas make it feel larger than a typical 46-footer, and the 4-cabin layout is well suited to charter or family cruising. The design is clearly optimized for space rather than sleek aesthetics or outright speed.

On the water, the boat is best described as stable and manageable rather than sporty. Sail area and twin engines provide practical cruising capability, and the shallow draft is useful for island-hopping and anchoring in less depth. Like most production cruising catamarans in this class, it is easier to handle than a monohull of similar length, though the wide footprint can make marina maneuvering more demanding.

Comfort is a major strength. The Lagoon 46 offers generous headroom, good separation between cabins, and ample storage and lounging space, which supports longer stays aboard. For buyers prioritizing liveability, the layout is a strong match, especially in the 12-guest charter configuration, though the added charter-oriented features can make the experience less private and less refined than a custom cruising cat.

In value terms, the Lagoon 46 remains competitive for a mainstream cruising catamaran because it combines strong accommodation, proven systems and offshore approval. It is a sensible purchase for owners who value space, ease of use and resale recognition, but those looking for sharper sailing performance or a more premium finish may find alternatives more appealing.
