Lagoon 43 Buyer's Guide
Shopping used Lagoon 43s on the brokerage market means understanding a boat that replaced the Lagoon 42 in the current lineup and carries the same VPLP-and-Patrick-le-Quément design DNA, with Nauta interiors. Production began in 2025, and with roughly half of the built boats expected to go into charter service, ex-charter examples are common in the used channel alongside private owner versions.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The owner's version places a dedicated stateroom to starboard with a forward bed, home office desk, and large head, while the port hull carries equal-size fore and aft cabins with identical heads. A charter layout instead provides four double-berth staterooms, and in the aft double there is a high-rise single berth that folds down when not in use. The salon and cockpit have adjacent dining tables configurable in 12 ways, and with sliding doors open they pair for a dinner party.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Electric winches, hot water, a cockpit shower, and a chartplotter are commonly fitted. Often-seen equipment includes a bimini, autopilot, swim platform, solar, dinghy davits, radar, and an inverter. A generator and Raymarine instrumentation appear in period reviews, and the builder offers a Silent Package with lithium batteries, upsized alternators, and a large inverter. Less commonly seen are AIS, a watermaker, air conditioning, and a freezer, which tend to show up as owner upgrades. The standard galley holds a four-burner stove, two fridge drawers, and a 152-quart front-opening fridge, with fridges inside and outside.
What to Inspect
No documented structural defects or systemic failure modes are recorded for the Lagoon 43 in the available material; the verifiable ownership facts concern coverage rather than faults. The structural warranty runs seven years with exclusions, the general warranty three years with exclusions, and the engine warranty is five years but Yanmar only, so confirm the diesel make against the paperwork on any candidate. Because the side decks have a molded-in bulwark and the aft hulls carry cutouts for side boarding, check those entry structures and transom steps for impact or wear from dock and dinghy use.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Lagoon 43 typically appears in the United States, Croatia, France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. For a shopper, the practical checklist is short: verify whether the example is an owner or charter four-cabin layout; confirm the Yanmar-only engine warranty status; inspect the aft entryways, side boarding doors, and transom steps for wear; and note which of the less common upgrades (watermaker, air conditioning, AIS) are already fitted versus planned.
