The Lagoon 400 is a popular catamaran designed by Van Petheghem/Lauriot-Prévost and built by Lagoon between 2009 and 2012, with a total production of 264 hulls. It represents a significant era in Lagoon's history, bridging the gap between earlier models and the subsequent 42/44 series, known for its spacious interior and fractional sloop rig.

Best for:

This vessel is ideally suited for coastal and near-shore cruising couples or small families who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over extreme performance. Its moderate displacement and beam make it a comfortable liveaboard option for those who do not require heavy bluewater certification.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 22531.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.37, the Lagoon 400 is generally considered suitable for coastal and protected offshore passages rather than extended open-ocean expeditions due to its relatively light displacement and wide beam.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Lagoon 42 and 44, which share similar design philosophies and interior layouts but offer updated hull forms and rigging. It also competes with the Fountaine-Pajot Astrea 42 and Beneteo First 40.7, which offer similar beam and interior space from the same era.
