Verdict
The Lagoon 570 is a spacious, well-established cruising catamaran with strong liveaboard appeal and easy shallow-water access. It is not a light, performance-first multihull, but it offers a proven balance of comfort, range and manageable sailing for cruising crews.
Pros
- +Large beam delivers excellent interior volume and deck space
- +Strong liveaboard comfort with 4-cabin/8-guest layout
- +Shallow draft suits coastal cruising and anchorages
- +Proven cruising design with twin diesel auxiliary power
Cons
- −Not as quick or responsive as lighter performance cats
- −Older 2006 example may need refit and maintenance attention
- −Wide beam can make marina berthing and docking less convenient
- −Sail handling can be demanding for short-handed crews in stronger winds
The Lagoon 570 is a large cruising catamaran from CNB/Lagoon that emphasizes space and easy accommodation over outright speed. Its wide 30-foot beam and broad hull form create a stable platform with generous saloon, cockpit and cabin volume, making it well suited to family cruising or charter use.
On the water, the boat is known more for steady passage-making than racing performance. Public reviews describe it as a heavy catamaran for its size, which helps comfort in a seaway but limits acceleration and close-wind liveliness compared with lighter modern cats. Twin diesels and shallow draft improve maneuvering and access to shallow anchorages, though the wide stance still requires care in tight marinas and docking situations.
For livability, the Lagoon 570 remains a strong point-to-point cruiser. The 4-cabin, 8-guest layout gives it practical charter or family appeal, and the design typically offers good storage, decent headroom and a social deck plan. As an older 2006 model, value depends heavily on maintenance and refit quality, but it remains attractive for buyers prioritizing comfort, volume and proven cruising credentials over speed.
