The Lagoon 400 is a production cruising catamaran built around volume, stability and straightforward charter usability. At about 39 ft overall, it offers the wide beam and open layout expected from Lagoon, with a practical four-cabin arrangement that suits mixed groups and family cruising well.
On the water, the boat is best described as confident and predictable rather than lively. Twin engines, autopilot and GPS make maneuvering and passage-making manageable, but the boat is more about steady cruising than high-speed sailing. Like many cats of this era, light-air manners and upwind performance are competent rather than standout.
Inside, the design is a strong point: the Lagoon 400’s saloon and cabins are known for brightness, headroom and usable space. The 4-head layout is a major advantage for chartering, and amenities such as air conditioning and Wi‑Fi improve comfort at anchor. For a 2010 model, condition matters a lot, so maintenance history and refit quality are key to judging real-world value.
