Lagoon 37 Sailboats for Sale

Layouts on the Used Market

The 37 was offered in two-, three-, or four-cabin versions, but on the used market the charter four-cabin arrangement is the more common, with both layouts still available. Ex-charter examples are common, so buyers should expect the wear patterns of fleet use even on privately spec’d boats. The main saloon fills almost all of the central nacelle’s volume and holds an aft-facing U-settee with good light, while the chart table and galley are pushed partly into the middle of the hulls. Sleeping typically means two queen forward doubles plus a smaller aft double in the starboard hull, with an optional walk-through second head amidships.

Equipment and Common Upgrades

Well-equipped boats commonly carry lithium batteries and a watermaker, and air conditioning with solar is commonly fitted for tropical use. For power and energy, that combination means a buyer can expect long anchor stays without generator run time if the lithium bank is healthy. In sail handling, a short-handed setup is common and often seen with a self-tacking jib plus asymmetric spinnaker for downwind ease; the forward trampoline is a safe launch point for the kite. Navigation gear often includes autopilot, chartplotter, radar, and AIS, and comfort upgrades such as a hardtop or bimini and teak decks show up often. Some boats often carry a circumnavigation or transatlantic completion, a useful signal of structural endurance.

What to Inspect

The monocoque hull-and-deck structure uses an inward flange bonded with two-part urethane, and mechanical fasteners at stanchions and cleats are not part of that primary bond — check those penetrations for movement or leakage. Rudders are glassed stainless webs on solid stocks with neoprene donut bearings; side-loading wear in the donuts is the failure mode to confirm. Bilge evacuation relies on an automatic electric pump and a manual pump in each hull, so verify both operate. The port engine is accessed only through a bulkhead opening in the head, which complicates service compared with the starboard hatch under the aft berth.

Availability and Buyer's Takeaway

Typical market availability is in the United States. For the buyer, the checklist is short: confirm the lithium and solar health if live-aboard range matters, inspect rudder bearings and hull-deck bond penetrations, verify both bilge pumps in each hull, and accept that a four-cabin ex-charter layout is the likely find. A deep stub keel (1.24 m) model sails closer to the wind than the 0.93 m shallow version if upwind performance is a priority.
