About the LAGOON 46
Replaces the 450. Exterior design: Patrick Le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Available with optional 2x 57 HP engines
The Lagoon 46, designed by VPLP Design and built by Lagoon starting in 2019, is a modern catamaran with a displacement of 34767.0 lb and a beam of 26.12 ft. While the exact hull count is unspecified, the fleet is characterized by high adoption of solar panels (289 mentions) and watermakers (113 mentions), reflecting its role as a comfortable, self-sufficient cruiser.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers seeking spacious living quarters and modern amenities, particularly those prioritizing energy independence given the high prevalence of solar panel installations.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.2 and a D/L ratio of 164.66, the Lagoon 46 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, supported by owner reports of extensive offshore equipment like watermakers and bow thrusters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other modern performance catamarans from the late 2010s, the Lagoon 46 shares its fractional sloop rig and twin keel configuration with contemporaries, though its specific VPLP design offers distinct interior volume and beam characteristics.
