2018 Lagoon

2018 Lagoon 42 — An award-winning cruising catamaran with the space, style, and sailing confidence today’s buyers want. Designed by VPLP Design with exterior styling by Patrick le Quément and interiors by Nauta Design, the Lagoon 42 blends modern French catamaran innovation with the easygoing comfort that has made this model one of Lagoon’s most successful designs. With her distinctive coachroof, generous beam, open cockpit-to-salon flow, and efficient sail plan, she delivers a rare balance of liveaboard comfort, manageable handling, and true cruising capability.

At 43'4" overall with a 25'2" beam, the Lagoon 42 feels remarkably spacious for her size, offering wide decks, an inviting aft cockpit, and a bright panoramic salon that opens through large sliding doors. The low-step transition from the swim platforms into the cockpit creates effortless movement aboard, while the sheltered, well-ventilated cockpit is ideal for relaxed entertaining, sundowners at anchor, or easy watchkeeping underway.

Under sail, the 2018 Lagoon 42 is engineered for confidence and simplicity. Her mast is positioned further aft, paired with a self-tacking jib and centralized line handling, making her approachable for short-handed cruising without sacrificing performance. Standard twin 57 HP Yanmar diesels provide dependable maneuverability, while published specifications list a 4'2" draft, 67'7" air draft, approximately 26,681 lb light displacement, 1,011 sq. ft. upwind sail area, 160 gallons of fresh water capacity, and about 151 gallons of fuel capacity.

Inside, the Lagoon 42 emphasizes light, privacy, and contemporary comfort. Large windows draw the horizon into the salon, the galley and living spaces are arranged for sociable cruising. The 4-cabin layouts support everything from owner-operated voyaging to family adventures or premium charter use. Her accommodations can sleep 8, giving buyers exceptional flexibility in a proven platform.

Recognized with major multihull awards, including Cruising World’s 2017 Boat of the Year honors and Sailing Today’s 2016 Multihull recognition, the Lagoon 42 remains highly sought-after for good reason. She is modern, capable, elegant, and practical—equally appealing to couples planning extended cruising, families seeking a comfortable island-hopping platform, or buyers looking for a strong, marketable catamaran in the 42-foot class.

This 2018 Lagoon 42 represents the sweet spot of contemporary catamaran ownership: manageable size, impressive volume, proven design pedigree, and the comfort to turn every passage, anchorage, and weekend aboard into something memorable.

THE PERFECT BLEND

The Lagoon 42 affirms a distinctive style and personality. Performance combines with strength in a unique design and thoughtful construction. A generous catamaran, the Lagoon 42 is always at ease, while cruising and at anchor.

VERSATILITY AND EASE OF HANDLING

Under sail, the beautiful reaches of the Lagoon 42 demonstrate balance and high performance. They are the result of expert craftsmanship and organic design by VPLP Design and Patrick le Quément. Her unique style combines dynamic energy with smooth handling.

THE FREEDOM OF SPACE

Just two steps separate the swim platform and the cockpit. The ergonomic design guarantees space and fluid movement on board. Sheltered and well ventilated, the cockpit is an open invitation to relax.

ELEGANCE AND MODERNITY

Echoing her exterior lines, the interior design, by Nauta Design, combines elegance and softness with contemporary woodwork. Light, comfort, privacy… the style of the Lagoon 42 offers a wealth of benefits to share.
