Verdict
The Lagoon 50 is a spacious, well-sorted cruising catamaran with strong liveaboard appeal, easy systems handling, and good charter versatility. It trades some sailing sharpness for volume and stability, but remains a capable and comfortable platform for family cruising or charter use.
Pros
- +Large beam and raised flybridge create excellent usable space
- +4 cabins, 4 heads, air conditioning, and Wi‑Fi suit charter or liveaboard use
- +Twin 57 hp diesels and autopilot simplify docking and passagemaking
- +Fuel and water capacities are generous for extended cruising
Cons
- −Length in the query is understated versus official LOA of about 48'5"
- −Sailing performance is oriented more to comfort than speed
- −Wide catamaran platform can require attention in tight marinas
- −Owner/charter layouts vary, so cabin counts and berth counts are not uniform
The Lagoon 50 is a modern cruising catamaran with the brand’s emphasis on volume, visibility, and easy circulation. Its official LOA is 14.75 m, with a very wide 8.10 m beam and shallow 1.40 m draft, which makes it practical for anchoring and coastal cruising while delivering the kind of deck and interior space buyers expect from a large charter catamaran.
On the water, the boat is set up for straightforward handling rather than performance sailing. The standard twin Yanmar 57 hp engines, autopilot, and GPS support low-stress maneuvering and passages, while the sail plan and broad hull form favor stability and predictable behavior over lively upwind performance. It is a capable cruiser, but not a sport-oriented multihull.
Comfort is one of the Lagoon 50’s strongest points. The 4-cabin, 4-head layout in this unit, plus air conditioning and Wi‑Fi, makes it well suited to families or charter guests. The 1040 L fuel capacity and substantial water capacity also support longer stays away from shore, though actual tankage can vary by layout and fit-out.
In value terms, the Lagoon 50 makes sense for buyers prioritizing space, charter appeal, and easy operation. It is less compelling for sailors seeking a sharper, more performance-focused catamaran, but it is a balanced and proven choice in the cruising segment.
