Verdict
A spacious, well-finished cruising catamaran with strong liveaboard appeal and easy short-handed sailing, but its weight and cruising focus limit speed and sharp handling. Best for owners who prioritize comfort, volume, and range over performance.
Avantages
- +Large beam and generous interior volume for a 46-footer
- +Flexible layout options from 3 to 6 cabins and up to 12 berths
- +Shallow draft suits anchoring and coastal cruising
- +Twin engines aid maneuvering in marinas
- +Strong tankage and cruising-oriented systems support longer trips
Inconvénients
- −Not a performance catamaran; pace is moderate under sail
- −Wide beam can make docking and tight berths less forgiving
- −Higher comfort-focused weight can soften light-air speed
- −Guest-capacity layouts may feel busy for private ownership
The Lagoon 46 follows the brand’s modern cruising-catamaran formula: broad saloons, large cockpit-to-salon flow, and a voluminous platform optimized for family cruising and charter use. At 46 feet, it offers a lot of usable space for the length, with the 2023 version typically seen in 4-cabin or larger charter-oriented layouts. Its proportions make it feel more like a floating apartment than a minimalist sailing boat.
On the water, the Lagoon 46 is best described as steady and forgiving rather than fast. The wide stance, moderate sail plan, and cruising-biased hull form favor stability, easy sail handling, and predictable behavior in normal conditions. Twin engines improve low-speed control, which is useful in harbors, though the beam and size still demand care in tight marina spaces.
Comfort and livability are among its strongest points. The large beam creates excellent saloon and cabin volume, while the shallow draft helps access anchorages that deeper-keel monohulls cannot reach. For owners planning relaxed coastal cruising, charter service, or extended stays aboard, the boat’s practical systems and space are a major advantage.
Value is solid if the priority is accommodation, brand support, and charter appeal. It is less compelling for sailors seeking lively performance or precise helm feel, but as a cruising catamaran it delivers the core Lagoon strengths with broad market recognition and strong usability.
