1.A Worthy Successor
How The Lagoon 450 Improved On The Popular Lagoon 440
We thought that the popular Lagoon 440 could never be better but its successor, Lagoon 450 proves that it is a very worthy successor.

In fact, the demand for this boat is so high, that you will seldom see it available especially if you're doing last minute sailing.
So, why do people go gaga over Lagoon 450? We compiled its key features and our client's feedback that will tell you why this catamaran was hailed SailChecker's Boat of the Year!
2.Space And Interior
Three Or Four Double Cabins, A U-Shaped Galley And Clever Storage
Lagoon 450 is a large comfortable boat, making it an ideal choice for a charter. With 3 or 4 double-cabins, this ensures that there is enough room for a family or group charter.
The three-cabin version is more popular than the charter-style (4 cab) model. The main cabin comprises with suites with large head compartment, a comfortably-sized shower, spacious settee and plenty of storage. Inside its two guest cabins- you will find two berth, head and a separate shower.
To show its French heritage, you will see a U-shaped galley with lots of counter space. You will be impressed how thoughtful the makers were when designing this boat for including dish drainers built in a cabinet and storage rooms in self-latching cabinets and drawers. There is also a second fridge that can be doubled as a freezer.
The interior decor nicely compliments the layout. Usually, the light wood and fabric accents insinuate a clean and inviting appearance. It is an epitome of contemporary design with excellent and elegant taste.
3.The Flybridge
A Raised Helm 15 Feet Above The Waterline For Visibility And Sun
One of Lagoon 450's notable feature is its raised flybridge. This is a classic build that experienced sailors have loved for many years. Its located 15 feet above the waterline, just over the interior cabin. Aside from giving great visibility, it also can be used as an additional sunbathing spots with the trampolines and the foredeck.
