Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by Van Peteghem & Lauriot Prévost and built by Lagoon, the Lagoon 500 was produced from 2005–2012, with a total of 150 hulls built. This catamaran is characterized by its fractional sloop rig and twin/triple keel configuration, offering a displacement of 38808.0 lb and a beam of 28.0 ft.

Best for:
This vessel is well-suited for coastal and offshore cruisers seeking spacious accommodations, evidenced by the high prevalence of watermaker (24 mentions) and bimini (22 mentions) installations. The frequent addition of davits (18 mentions) and solar panels (9 mentions) suggests owners prioritize extended cruising comfort and self-sufficiency.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 38808.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 3.31, and a comfort ratio of 14.32, the Lagoon 500 demonstrates solid offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics suitable for bluewater passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include other large production catamarans from the mid-2000s, such as the Lagoon 440 or Fountaine-Pajot Astrea, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and twin-hull layouts. These models appeal to buyers looking for the same balance of performance and interior volume found in the Lagoon 500.
