Lagoon Exploration: An Overview of PowerCats
The Lagoon Eighty3 powercat yacht is set to redefine luxury cruising, set to launch around late 2025. This impressive vessel, with a length overall (LOA) of approximately 24.4 meters (80 feet), is the power variant of the Lagoon Eighty 2 sailing catamaran.
Key features of the Lagoon Eighty3 include a spacious layout, optimized for charter and high comfort. The main deck offers an open-plan social space, combining dining, lounging, galley, and navigation station in one contiguous area. The owner’s suite, the central piece of the cabin, boasts a drop-down balcony for an enhanced outdoor experience.
The Lagoon Eighty3 is designed to accommodate 8 guests plus 3 crew members. It boasts a large 50-square-meter flybridge equipped with a hardtop and an optional spa pool. The lower deck is highly flexible, with four ensuite cabins, each with its own private staircase. For those seeking more space, the Lagoon Eighty3 can be spec'd up to six cabins for 16 people, with extra cabins for four crew in the forward sections of the hulls.
The Lagoon Eighty3's environmental credentials are strong, with hull construction using 40% bio-sourced resin, reducing its carbon footprint. This model is also equipped with uprated Yanmar 440s, allowing it to scoot along at speeds in excess of 20 knots.
The Lagoon Eighty3 draws on owner and crew feedback from previous Lagoon models, aiming to deliver combined luxury, performance, and charter suitability. It shares the same design approach as the award-winning Lagoon Seventy8, which is applied on a larger platform.
Lagoon, a global leader in the production of power and sailing cats, was founded as a multihull division of Jeanneau in 1984. Over the last 40 years, Lagoon has delivered over 7,000 boats, including the 'entry-level' Sixty7, a flexible platform suitable for ocean crossings and coastal cruising. Lagoon's modern-day fleet is dominated by sailing cats, but it also builds two powercat models, such as the Lagoon 630 and the Lagoon Seventy8.
The Lagoon Eighty3 has plenty of autonomy for long spells on board, with 5,500L of fuel and 1,000L of water. It also has lots of space for a powerful solar array, suggesting potential for solar-powered capabilities. The yacht also boasts a huge 240ft2 hydraulic aft platform, enabling extension of the cockpit space, relaxation at the water’s edge, or deployment of tenders and toys.
In conclusion, the Lagoon Eighty3 powercat yacht is a testament to Lagoon's commitment to delivering luxury, performance, and charter suitability in one package. With its spacious layout, environmental credentials, and impressive specifications, it is poised to set a new standard in the powercat yacht market.
