Lagoon 50 Buyer's Guide
The Lagoon 50 entered production in 2018 as part of Lagoon's catamaran range, designed by VPLP with exterior styling from Patrick Le Quément. On the brokerage market she draws owner-operators who have outgrown a 45-footer yet still want to voyage without hired crew, and her three-to-six-cabin flexibility means both private and ex-charter boats turn up. Charter four-cabin layouts are more common, but other arrangements are available and ex-charter examples are common.
Layouts on the Used Market
The boat was conceived for family cruising, friends, private use, or charter, and the used fleet reflects that spread. A four-cabin configuration is the more common find, though three-cabin and six-cabin, six-head versions also appear. The starboard hull can hold an owner suite with island berth aft, forward double, walk-in dressing space, and abundant lockers, while the port hull may carry fore-and-aft cabins with en-suite heads or a storage bay that converts to another double. The saloon wraps a full-beam settee around a table that becomes a cocktail lounge, and a flybridge adds gathering space above. Ex-charter boats will typically show heavier wear but the same core volumes.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most used Lagoon 50s carry the systems a voyaging couple expects: electric winches, chartplotter, bimini, air conditioning, watermaker, teak decks, autopilot, and inverter are commonly fitted. Often-seen additions include a self-tacking jib, freezer, AIS, radar, cockpit shower, swim platform, solar, and life raft. For buyer consequence, the power and energy cluster matters most — a commonly fitted watermaker and inverter, often-seen solar, and the optional 11 kW Onan genset seen on some boats define off-grid range; a bow thruster is only a sometimes-or-owner upgrade despite its help with crosswind docking given the flybridge windage. Canvas and sail handling center on the electric winches and self-tacking jib, while navigation is built around the networked plotter and autopilot. Comfort items like air conditioning and teak decks are common and shape liveability in warm markets.
What to Inspect
The helm sits on centerline, so a driver seated directly behind the wheel looks straight into the mast — verify the helm seating and sightlines work for your steering posture anchor. In a bouncing seaway the companionways on each side would be safer with retrofit grab rails, so check whether any were added. Engine-room hatches open up and aft to keep checks safe from the cockpit, and their hinges and gas struts should be exercised underway-style if possible.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats are typically found in Croatia, Greece, the British Virgin Islands, the United States, Martinique, and Italy. For a shopper, the short checklist is: confirm the cabin count and whether it is ex-charter; verify the genset, watermaker, and solar provisioning for your cruising plans; test the helm sightline and stair handholds; and confirm the bow thruster if you expect tight marina work in wind.
