Lagoon 380 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used Lagoon 380 means choosing among the most prevalent cruising catamarans of its size ever built, with production running from 1999 to 2008 and well over 760 hulls afloat. Both private owners and ex-charter fleets have turned her into a common sight on the brokerage market, and her manageable 38-foot length makes her a realistic step-up for couples or families moving from monohulls.
Layouts on the Used Market
Two interior plans dominate the listings. The charter four-cabin, four-head version maximizes berths for six to twelve people, while the owner’s three-cabin, two-head version converts the starboard hull into a private mini-suite with a queen aft, extra storage and a separate shower forward, closed off by a sliding door. The port hull keeps a queen aft and a double forward with ample lockers. Ex-charter examples are common, so buyers will routinely choose between a higher-cabin-count boat with heavier use and a lower-mileage owner version.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry a chartplotter, solar, bimini, autopilot and inverter as standard fitted gear. Often-seen additions include air conditioning, a watermaker, lithium batteries, electric winches and dinghy davits, all of which materially shape ownership: davits and a solar array support independent anchoring, while a watermaker and lithium bank extend time off the dock. Less common owner upgrades might include a spinnaker or a freezer. The 380 is built with built-in davits, a hidden bow windlass with plow anchor, and an easily reached stern cavity for a safety raft, so a buyer’s priority is judging the condition of the installed systems rather than adding structure.
What to Inspect
Writing in Practical Sailor, a reviewer with extensive bareboat experience recommends checking the bow chain guide structure or rail, which sits exposed below the furler and would benefit from a fitted cover for safety. The rudder deflection limiter on the linking rod is a worthwhile detail to confirm present and functional in the engine bay, and the bright, carefully arranged installations there should be inspected for any amateur modification.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the 380 include the United States, Martinique, Spain, Greece, Italy and France, giving a transatlantic shopper broad geographic choice. For a buyer, the short list is: decide between owner and charter layouts; verify the presence of commonly fitted navigation and power gear; confirm the davits, windlass and rudder limiter are intact; and plan to add a chain-guard cover at the bow. The 380 remains a sensible, liveable catamaran whose popularity ensures continued support and available examples.
