Experience and innovation

From the very beginning Lagoon has worked with the greatest names in naval architecture (VPLP) to ensure that our customers benefit from the talent and know-how of the best in the business. With each new model Lagoon uses its long experience in innovation to make cruising ever more safe and enjoyable. Here are a few examples:

1992, Lagoon produces its first infusion-moulded catamarans to:

• save weight
• optimize resin/fibre ratios
• protect workers (no contact with resin) and the environment (low or non-existent styrene emissions)
• ensure optimal heat and sound insulation and excellent impregnation of the balsa sandwich to produce a structure that is rigid, light and reliable.

1997, Lagoon 410 - Lagoon invents the vertically glazed saloon to provide:

• more natural light
• better protection against the sun (the windows are not directly exposed)
• substantial improvements in interior space, inside headroom and external surfaces.

2004, Lagoon 440 - Lagoon presents its first catamaran with a "gull-wing" bridge deck to provide:

• a smoother ride through heavy seas (slamming greatly reduced)
• a substantial reduction in water-generated noise while sailing
• a more naturally-rigid structure that helps save weight

The Lagoon 440 was also the first cruising catamaran to be equipped with a helm station on the fly bridge that:

• provides perfect visibility when manoeuvring in harbour and trimming sails
• allows all sail manoeuvres to be performed around the helmsman
• can accommodate the entire crew on the large transversal bench seat.

2006, since the launch of the Lagoons 440 and 500, all the models in the range come with four large hull windows as standard to ensure:

• plenty of light in every cabin
• privacy thanks to a special silk-screen print on the outside of the panels.

2007, Lagoon 420 - Lagoon presents the Lagoon 420 Hybrid, the first cruising catamaran with a diesel/electric engine.


2009, Lagoon 620 – The flagship of the range introduces numerous innovations, in particular:

• an immense lateral galley in the port hull that has direct access to the cockpit
• the owner's suite (starboard) also with direct and private access to the cockpit
• 2 helm stations on the fly bridge for perfect visibility during manoeuvres

2010, square-head mainsails are offered as an option for all Lagoon catamarans. This easy-to-use system:

• ensures better performance in light winds
• allows you to easily spill the wind in a breeze

2011

• Lagoon 450 – The boat's bimini is fitted with a large opening hatch to ventilate the cockpit in hot weather.
  
• Lagoon 560 – The boat comes with a multiplex tactile screen that manages the electrical circuits, batteries, water and fuel gauges, lighting, air-conditioning, stereo system, etc.
