Avis sur le lagoon 380

The Lagoon 380 is a classic cruising catamaran design from VPLP that prioritizes usable space and easy living over outright speed. At about 38 feet long with a wide beam and shallow draft, it delivers the kind of volume and access that made the model a long-running charter favorite. The 2017 example with 6 cabins and 10-guest capacity fits the boat’s well-known role as a flexible family or fleet yacht.

On the water, the 380 is best described as steady and manageable rather than lively. It benefits from twin engines for low-speed control and tight-space handling, while under sail it is generally adequate for cruising but not especially fast, particularly in light winds. The shallow draft helps in anchorages and island waters, though the boat’s broad hull form and charter-oriented setup mean it is more about confidence and simplicity than sportiness.

Livability is the main strength. The layout offers generous accommodations for its size, with the bridgedeck and saloon arrangement giving good social space and practical day-to-day comfort. Value is strong on the used market because the model is widely known, easy to understand, and supported by a broad service and charter ecosystem, though buyers should expect a design that reflects its era rather than modern luxury or performance standards.
