Lots and lots of "relaxing" spots but it's a fucking ugly boat. A stinkpot with a couple of sails.
I wonder if its going to have the delamination and seperation issues that the 42 had??!??
a priced boxer with a glass jaw……..
overpriced, overweight, underbuilt junk
The bow was getting buried in light seas. Imagine bad weather. Boat would be flipped…
Buying/ putting a deposit a new Lagoon now is in reality buying a lottery ticket betting on if the company exists in 3 years. Will they file bankruptcy to get away from the lawsuits of 1000 angry Lagoon 450 owners?
If lagoon goes bankrupt while they have your deposit money, you can kiss your $100K goodbye. I would avoid Lagoon new boats until they emerge from this dark cloud.
Gorgeous !
As a sailor with my fair share of sailing in rough conditions I think this boat would be a death trap.
Hodges! You have the best job in the world!
Ok i watched 5 seconds of the vid.. i saw the rigging and flybridge.. and my first thought was… its going to turtle upside down in 20knot winds lol.. mind you.. it would be safer upside down anyways… did a 2 year old design this thing?
They sold fifty to charter company’s, no private owners are buying this 💩
So what do you do if you have a problem with your boom? Moving the sail area up apart from massively lowering your performance especially in light winds just makes the boat top heavy. I suppose you don't have to worry about the boat flipping though, you're permanently reefed lol. Fly bridges on sailing boats has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
No door to the front cockpit. Silly omission. I much prefer the Leopard 50.
nice charter boat. would never take it off shore.
Definitely in need of railings around the bridge
On a windy and rainy day Sailing will be really wet
Seems like a lot of hobby horsing for a 55 ft boat in relatively benign seas.
Hobby horsing at its best. These are not reviews.
Is this a paid advert?
How’s the bulkheads?
Isn't this the company that had all those boats split almost in half and they refused to warrantee them?
If you're after a Lagoon 45 there's a billion of them for sale right now. I wonder why 🤔 😂
The design just makes me wonder how practical the top deck and helm station is with bad weather. There is nowhere else to steer the boat from and I doubt you want to be out there in a rain storm or even in really large waves during a passage…
I’m not sure if it was an optical illusion or not but the bow seemed low in the water while the stern was high? Seemed to be nosing into the shallow waves? Obviously a day trip boat? No solar provision? Open exposed to the weather top cockpit? 50 sold before making production? Hmmmm. Not for me. I think lagoon needs some new designers?
Look at the hobby horsing even in light breeze, not enough boyancy in the bows!
No owners version with 3 cabins?
Pretty nice cat…except for that fly bridge. Delete that completely, drop the main sail boom (and requisite mast height) by 10 feet, and cover the remaining roof with solar and you'd have something. As is, it's just another condo-maran. Cannot understand why people like that sort of thing, but apparently they do with 50 preproduction purchases on the books.
We get it … A lot of space
gorgeous!
I prefer the Privilege 580 😉
Great review Toby, but you should have addressed the bulkhead issue. Are they now carbon reinforced? They should be.
Bulkheads?
I dont know about you but a 55 ft. cat with out a forward facing inside nav area were one can steer ,Do watches , relax out of the weather sun or rain . Im afraid i find this high , ugly & badly thought out , Pity because Lagoon was in the for front of design a few years ago for comfortable long term living cats ( Not so mush build quality )
She's a beauty. Imagine having the terrible job of sailing her around the world to give Lagoon recommendations.
WARNING: Some idiot mentioning bulkheads in 5…4…3…
impressive !
that’s a houseboat
"Perfect size for a couple" -Half the new owners, probably
Hotel Cat.
I wouldn't even get on a lagoon boat. Let alone buy one. Serious structural and build quality issues..
Great peek. Thanks. These cats are not for exploring the North Atlantic in harrowing winds, which is fine cause I don't want to do that. People report they spend most of their time at a warm-water anchorage anyway. Might as well have a floating condo. I was on a Bali 5.4 this summer and the wife fell in love. The Lagoon is nice, but lacks the living space of the Bali. People buy these big cats for the lifestyle, not hard-water crossings (which they can do, albeit uncomfortably). Might as well get the most lifestyle for the buck. For the money I think we're still aiming at the Bali, though maybe the 4.8.
Have they built any more like the 67 sport lagoon . Made with a lot of carbon fiber as one was, indigo.

Very well shown….simply beautiful!
