Lagoon Catamarans launches latest model Lagoon 55

by The Multihull Group 26 Apr 2021 22:02 BST

Without imposing on Lagoons recognisable features Patrick le Quément has softened the exterior profile. A slimline, floating impression is achieved through the new levitating coach roof and the integrated handrails, the over emphasise of the sculptural elements of the bows adds to the lines and silhouette of the vessel.

In line with VPLPs next generation rig design the mast is set back to provide a higher aspect ratio mainsail with a total sail area of 186m2 with the jib and 266m2 with the Code Zero resulting in a faster and more enjoyable passage.

Experience the on-water terrace, a fresh concept whereby Lagoon has moved the stairs inward to allow for an outdoor galley and folding seat on the transoms, extending into the hydraulic platform, creating a new space to enjoy the outdoors. This area seamlessly opens into the cockpit which is now a stunning 25m2, featuring an integrated bar, seating for up to 12 guests and large storage compartments under the deck and lounges.

Aloft, the flybridge offers multiple areas for entertainment and relaxation. A fully functional wetbar, two sunbeds, forward and aft and a large dining area in the centre. The helm station is set to starboard and has seating for the captain and guests.

On the bow you can hide out in your own private cocoon, this cozy lounging area offers multiconfigurational opportunities. With various shade options, a teak table and access to the storage and windlass beneath.

Moving into the saloon a retractable window diminishes the boundaries from inside to outside, increasing ventilation from the bow and the fully opening sliding doors seamlessly flow into the cockpit. Inside you will find 27m2 of pure luxury; a dining table with electric table, TV which appears from the ceiling, chart table and fully equipped galley and bar. Revel in the scenic sky with the introduction of overhead windows, supplying luminosity and volume to the space.

Clients will enjoy the unique owner suite featuring plenty of storage, lounging space and an on-water office. Each spacious cabin has a stylish ensuite with high-end finishes and beds ideally positioned for an ocean view.

Key Features (new to Lagoon design) include;

  • levitating coach roof
  • integrated handrails
  • overemphasise of the sculptural elements of the bows
  • on-water terrace (new step position on transoms to include outdoor galley)
  • private cocoon (multiconfigurational bow lounge)
  • overhead windows (in the saloon)
