The recent Paris boat show gave bareboat yacht charter lovers pause. Presenting the new Lagoon catamaran 39. It is an even more important milestone. In specific, the 30th birthday of Lagoon Catamarans.
The builder celebrated their shipbuilding birthday at the French show. Show dates spanned December 7 to 15.
When Did Lagoon Cats First Appear?
The first Lagoon #catamaran model was delivered in 1987. As a result, more than 3,000 Lagoon catamarans exist around the world.
Lagoon Catamaran for Caribbean Yacht Charter Vacation
DESIGN INNOVATIONS
For three decades, the company has been a leader in design innovation. For example,
1997
Lagoon invents vertical windows for the Lagoon 410 catamaran, adding welcoming light and a feeling of more volume.
2004
No one had ever seen or heard of a flybridge on a sailing catamaran. That is, until Lagoon installed one. Now, a decade later, all Lagoons 45’ and larger are equipped with a flybridge.
2006
The first hybrid-powered cruising catamaran is introduced. Specifically, the Lagoon 420.
2009
Welcome the Lagoon 620. It is the benchmark for crewed catamaran charters. Ask any charter broker their preferred vessels for a Virgin Islands yacht charter vacation. They probably point to Lagoon 620 sail catamaran AVALON. Also, luxury sailing catamaran CROCODILE DADDY.
2013
The new Lagoon 39 and 52 models, featuring innovation by VPLP naval architects, have the masts pushed back aft for comfort, performance, and easy handling.

Thanks for sharing the Lagoon catamaran model discovered year with brief information. Good Luck.
Our fleet consists of private luxury motoryachts and sailboats (including catamaran sailboats with crew, as you read in the blog, Builder of Boats for Crewed Catamaran Charters Turns 30). These yachts have full crew complements; for example, Captain, First Mate, Hostess, Stewardess (multiple stewardesses), Engineer, and often such things as professional masseuse, hair stylist, fitness instructor, yoga instructor, pilates instructor, scuba diving instructor, tour guide, sommelier, gourmet backup chef, etc.
Our fleet also contains bareboat (without crew) sailboats and powerboats that you captain yourselves (or can hire a captain and or cook for the charter).
The yachts (both bare and crewed) are located all over the world; for example, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Cuba, the Mediterranean, the Italian Riviera, the French Riviera, Ibiza, The Balarics, The Virgin Islands, the Spanish Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Greece, Florida, Turkey, you name it.
Please contact us when you are ready to charter. We’d love to plan your memorable vacation with you!

Yes, Ivy. The trampolines on catamarans are great places to relax and to watch dolphins playing on the bow of your catamaran as you cruise along! It’s so great that you have indoctrinated your kids to the enjoyment of boating! There’s nothing like it… 🙂
Thank you for your comment!
Smooth sailing,
