The smallest in Lagoon’s current lineup, the 38 feels more like a 42-footer with an owner’s suite that occupies that whole port pontoon and clever sail controls for shorthanded crews.
This manageable 38-footer could be ideal for monohull sailors venturing into two hulls for the first time, or any sailor looking for expansive deck and living space with a more modest footprint. Photo, Lagoon Catamarans
We say this a lot, especially about catamarans, but the Lagoon 38 really does feel bigger than it is. Designed with warm-weather cruising destinations or summer weekends in mind, the main saloon connected to the aft deck via sliding doors is the social hub of the boat. To port, the owner’s suite includes a double berth, dressing area with cabinets and a dedicated desk, and head with separate stand-up shower. To starboard, there are two double berths and another head and shower. The helm station, to starboard and above the aft deck, is sufficiently out of guests’ way, and sail controls all lead to within arm’s reach.
