Verdict
A practical, volume-forward cruising catamaran with strong livability and easy short-handed sailing, but only moderate pace and the usual trade-offs of a production 40-footer. The 4+2 cabin layout suits charter use well, though it is less private and performance-oriented than some rivals.
Avantages
- +Spacious beam and large interior volume for a 39–40 ft catamaran
- +Self-tacking jib and simple sailplan aid short-handed sailing
- +Good charter layout with 4+2 cabins and multiple heads
- +Shallow draft supports coastal cruising and anchorages
- +High comfort level for guests in port and at anchor
Inconvénients
- −Not a high-performance catamaran; speed is adequate rather than lively
- −Wide platform can feel exposed in stronger wind and chop
- −Charter-oriented 4+2 layout reduces privacy compared with owner versions
- −Large beam can make marina berths and docking more demanding
- −Systems and options can materially affect handling and build cost
The Lagoon 40 follows the brand’s modern design brief: maximum interior volume, a broad beam carried well aft, and an easy-to-manage sail plan. The 2022 4+2 cabin version is clearly aimed at charter and family cruising, with a layout that prioritizes berths and social space over sporty sailing character.
On the water, it is best described as steady and accessible rather than fast. The self-tacking jib simplifies tacking, and the catamaran’s shallow draft makes it well suited to coastal cruising and anchorages. Like many production cruising cats in this size range, it will be more comfortable and efficient in moderate conditions than in steep chop or strong upwind work.
Comfort is a major strength. The wide saloon, good separation between hulls, and multiple cabins and heads make it suitable for larger groups, and the 12-guest charter configuration is especially practical. The trade-off is that the 4+2 layout is more about capacity than privacy.
In value terms, the Lagoon 40 remains competitive if the goal is space, simplicity, and charter-friendly utility. Buyers who want sharper sailing performance or a more owner-focused arrangement may prefer alternatives, but for relaxed cruising and charter operations it offers a sensible balance.
