Welcome to the world of Lagoon

Since 1984, Lagoon has been opening up the world of the seven seas and giving free rein to humanity’s irrepressible curiosity.

Your dream destination

With our elegant, comfortable and reliable catamarans, you will cross oceans and reach your dream destinations. As a Groupe Beneteau brand and the market leader in sailing catamarans, we share your longing for the open sea, for exploring rocky coastlines or hidden white-sand beaches after a long passage.

Our history

1984

It all began in Jeanneau’s “competition” department. Named Jeanneau Techniques Avancées (JTA), the unit grew out of close cooperation between Jeanneau’s management, Fleury Michon, Philippe Poupon and Jean-François de Prémorel. The first Lagoon 55 was unveiled in 1987.

1987

On the right bank of the Garonne, the former ACSO shipyard (Ateliers & Chantiers du Sud-Ouest), also known as Forges & Chantiers de Gironde, began operating under the name Construction Navale Bordeaux.

1992

Groupe Beneteau, the world leader in sailing yacht construction, acquired Construction Navale Bordeaux. The first Lagoon 55 was built in epoxy, glass, carbon and Kevlar, vacuum-moulded using the same technology as the finest racing boats of the time. Around twenty boats were built before the Lagoon 57 was introduced, followed by the Lagoon 37, 42 and 47, and in 1994 by the Lagoon 67.

1997

Lagoon introduced the brand’s first production catamaran: the Lagoon 410, with innovative vertical hull windows (giving more interior space and avoiding the greenhouse effect created when sunlight shines in through sloping windows).

1998

The Lagoon 380 made its world premiere in La Rochelle. Comfortable and reliable, it is still unrivalled in its category. Nearly 1,000 boats have been sold to date, sailing all seven seas of the world: a sales record for a sailing catamaran!

2004

Lagoon sets the trend! The launch of the Lagoon 440 brought a wealth of innovations that broke with the conventions of the day: a fully equipped flybridge on the coachroof, huge hull windows, a forward cockpit, a wing-shaped, wave-piercing nacelle, an owner’s cabin with a central island berth, a dressing room and a separate shower… more than 100 boats were sold before the model was first shown at the Miami Boat Show in 2004!

2007

Lagoon kept on innovating and launched the Lagoon 420 Hybrid, the world’s first production catamaran available with a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system.

2009

Lagoon introduced the Lagoon 620: a seaworthy, luxurious catamaran and the archetype of today’s Lagoon flagships. A world leader in its category, with more than 100 boats sold to date.

2016

The Lagoon 42, unveiled at the Düsseldorf Boat Show, raised comfort and performance to unrivalled levels for a 41-foot boat. That same year, the brand expanded its range with the largest catamaran ever built at the shipyard: the SEVENTY 7, a luxury catamaran almost 24 metres long.

2017

Lagoon continued to grow with the launch of the SEVENTY 8 motor yacht. It premiered in Cannes alongside two new models joining the Lagoon yacht range: the Lagoon 40 and the Lagoon 50. A new generation was born.

2021

The latest model, the Lagoon 51, was unveiled. This innovatively designed catamaran is the result of a sustainable building process, with on-board equipment designed to protect the environment and a layout for a new generation.

2024

Lagoon celebrates 40 years of expertise and innovation. Since 1984, Lagoon has been making its owners’ dreams come true. By 2024, 7,000 Lagoon catamarans were sailing the world.

Owners’ testimonials

Lange family and “Spirit of Ponta Preta”

There was a time when my whole being turned into a trance as soon as the leaves were moving in the trees, as I was thinking about the potential windsurf session that I was missing.
