Lagoon was founded in 1984 as a subsidiary of Jeanneau Technologies Avancées, Jeanneau’s “racing department”. JTA gained a reputation for producing single and multihulled offshore racing boats (Pierre 1er, the Fleury Michon series, etc.) that won an unequalled string of victories. Lagoon has also been involved in more unusual projects such as building trimarans for the film Waterworld.
Lagoon is now part of CNB, a division of the Beneteau Group, the world leader in pleasure sailing craft construction. CNB offers a full and well-structured range of cruising catamarans designed by naval architects Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost who have notched up an incomparable record of victories in multihull events. One of their most recent designs was the famous trimaran Oracle, winner of the 2010 America’s Cup.
They make at the moment two famous models, present almost at every yacht show around the world, the 630MY and the 40MY.

They don’t come cheap at all. I’ve seen a 630MY with over £1.5Mil and one 40MY with £250k, both without VAT, which is shitty. It is said on the vendor’s (or agent, or broker, whatever) site that the 630MY has an autonomy of 2,000 nautical miles, which is impressive. The only thing which is not the best in the world is that one needs the sea to be crystal, no waves for catamarans, as you know. Otherwise, a catamaran is a house on water, nothing better to wish, isn’t it?
