Lagoon 46 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Lagoon 46 means choosing among a design that replaced the Lagoon 450 in 2019 and has since become a common sight in cruising fleets. Both owner three-cabin and charter four-cabin versions are well represented, with ex-charter examples are common, so buyers can weigh private layouts against higher-cycle charter hulls without scarcity concerns.
Layouts on the Used Market
The three-cabin owner layout concentrates comfort in a starboard-hull master with island queen berth, amidships desk, and a head sized for simultaneous use. The four-cabin version spreads four heads with separate showers across the hulls, suiting families or charter history. Lagoon used pronounced chines flaring above the waterline to add hull living space, and the saloon sits level with the cockpit through a sliding forward window to the foredeck. Blackwater tanks sit under the sole rather than on hull sides, a detail that lowers center of gravity and frees locker space.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most used 46s carry a chartplotter, autopilot, AIS, electric winches, inverter, solar, air conditioning, watermaker, and bimini as standard cruising kit. Often-seen additions include radar, lithium batteries, dinghy davits, and a cockpit shower. Less common are hardtop, furling main, and self-tacking jib upgrades. For a buyer, the energy cluster of solar, lithium, and inverter means longer anchor stays without generator runtime, while a watermaker and autopilot define serious passage-making readiness; davits and cockpit shower speak to already-outfitted liveaboard or charter use.
What to Inspect
The hardtop aft supports double as ladders to the mainsail, but testers found them awkward and slick, so check for scuffing or retrofit tread. With mast height at 76 feet, confirm no prior owner attempted ICW modifications. The construction uses vacuum-infused balsa above the waterline, aft-opening engine hatches, and under-sole blackwater tanks.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets include the United States, Croatia, Greece, Spain, Italy, and the British Virgin Islands. When viewing, run this short checklist: confirm layout match (owner three-cabin vs charter four-cabin), verify solar and lithium energy suite, test electric winches and autopilot, inspect hardtop ladder wear, and note mast height against intended cruising grounds.
