The Lagoon 450 is a fractional sloop catamaran designed by Van Peteghem-Lauriot Prévost and built by Lagoon, with production records indicating a start year of 2014. This model features a beam of 25.82 ft and a displacement of 32981.0 lb, offering a spacious layout typical of modern performance catamarans.

Best for:

This vessel is well-suited for coastal cruisers and tropical island hoppers who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over heavy offshore capability. The high frequency of solar panel (432 mentions) and watermaker (190 mentions) installations suggests owners often equip the boat for extended, self-sufficient cruising in developed anchorages.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 3.22 and a displacement of 32981.0 lb, the Lagoon 450 is designed for coastal and protected waters rather than heavy bluewater passage-making. The twin keel configuration provides stability in shallow drafts, but the hull form and rigging are optimized for performance in moderate conditions rather than extreme offshore durability.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Lagoon 42 and Lagoon 440, which share similar design philosophies and target markets. The Lagoon 450 distinguishes itself with a wider beam and fractional rig, offering a balance between the stability of earlier models and the performance of newer generations.
