Lagoon 42

Horizon Yacht Sales is pleased to announce this stunning 2025 Lagoon 42.

Lagoon 42 Catamaran – creative styling, strong performance, and beautifully finished.

The Lagoon 42 Catamaran Features:

Well-constructed and beautifully finished the purposeful Lagoon 42 Catamaran has all the elements of a great cruising catamaran. In 2017, she won Sail Magazine's Best Multihull between 41 and 50 feet. In the same year scooped Cruising World’s Boat of the Year in the multi-hull 41-50 feet category.

• The open-plan saloon and spacious cockpit combine with creative styling to make her feel bigger than her 42 feet.
• Her balanced rig, decent sailing performance, and great maneuverability under power are a winning combination.
• The raised helm position and great deck layout make communication and movement around the boat a breeze.
• Italian designed interior provides elegance and functionality for comfortable living below decks.

ACCESSIBILITY AND OPERATION

At the helm, all the Yanmar engine controls and the B&G instrumentation are ergonomically laid out and the sail controls are easily accessible. There is plenty of room for two people and the design makes sailing this boat shorthanded a joy. The power winch on the coach roof is perfect for hoisting the mainsail. It also comes in useful when operating the dinghy davit. Access up-to-the boom is via a couple of steps, the boom itself is low and makes stowing the mainsail and zipping the stack-pack straightforward.

Having the raised helm neatly integrated with the cockpit makes communication up to and down easily. This means the helm has great visibility – forward and importantly aft – so this is especially useful if docking stern-to. The composite bimini has sliding hatches, making seeing aloft and setting sails simple. Roll-down clear screens are available for protection should the weather not be cooperative.

PERFORMANCE UNDER SAIL AND POWER

Under sail, the Lagoon 42 Catamaran feels balanced. The sixty-seven-foot mast is set slightly further aft than on previous models, reducing pitching and as a result, allowing for a self-tacking genoa set on a curved genoa track. The mainsail is set on a shorter boom and is just under 600 square feet. It is slightly smaller than you might expect. As a result, it is easy to handle and balanced by the larger than usual foresail. The two sails work well together and off-wind delivered over 8 knots average in 17-19 knots true in a slight chop. With a gennaker or spinnaker, the Lagoon 42 will deliver mid-teens performance in the right conditions.

Under power, the standard Yanmar 45HP engines work well, and there is an upgrade to the 57HP option if desired. You can expect 8 knots at 2600rpm in fairly smooth water.

LIVING SPACE

The sliding door to the saloon opens wide and connects the cockpit with the saloon on one level. The U-shaped galley has a three-burner stove, extensive workspace, and storage. Fridge, freezer, and microwave are all neatly integrated. The central chrome-covered mast support provides a great hand-hold when on the move. Moreover, it also allows for a large forward lounge area with plenty of seating. The high vertical saloon windows provide great light and panoramic views and plenty of headroom. Two neat opening windows forward give generous ventilation at anchor. It is a very enjoyable and comfortable living space.

In the Lagoon 42’s hulls, the Italian Nauta Design delivers elegance and functionality, be it in the four-cabin or three-cabin version. Large fixed hull windows provide wonderful light and opening portlights add ventilation. In the four-cabin version, the aft cabins have double island berths and the bathrooms offer saltwater electric heads and a separate shower area. The forward berths are doubles with neat side access and have their own combined head/shower. Each cabin has AC plugs and optional USB charging points. Both versions offer extensive storage throughout.
