Fall in love with the Flybridge – Lagoon Reviews – Martin
Lagoon were to first catamarans to introduce the now highly sort after flybridge. So… with more people than ever opting for their own flybridge catamarans, we thought we ought to see why our customers are loving them…
Not only does the flybridge give you more fresh air and higher visibility but you will feel completely in control of your vessel at all times.
You’ll find that most of the time you’ll simply set the sails and cruise on autopilot but as many experienced sailors will attest, when you really need to be in control of your vessel in adverse conditions the flybridge is the place to be.
The Flybridge gives your catamaran another dimension and an additional place to socialise and enjoy, those that have it cannot imagine life without it…
Martin
Martin is currently sailing around the French Polynesian, Tuamuttos islands on his Lagoon 450F.
For Martin the purchase of his 450F was a first for many things; his first Flybridge, his first catamaran and the first time he had ever sailed on the flybridge.
He admits that at the beginning of his search, he was not completely aware of the big advantages of the flybridge.
The benefits he now has come to love is the big sundeck roof and that as a skipper, you have an area for complete control for trimming sails etc. Martin loves that this also gives him the ability to relax while the crew can do whatever they please upstairs or downstairs.
Martin cannot fault the flybridge and would always choose this option.
“I love the air on the flybridge, the overview when going into anchorages, harbours etc. Its’ like standing on the bridge of my own little ship.” Says Martin.

John
John Buist bought his first Lagoon in 2008 and along with his loving wife Jill he set off around the world. So in love with the adventures they had enjoyed, they decided to buy a new Lagoon 450F from TMG Yachts and do it all again!
For John the addition of the Flybridge is something he loves and will never regret…
“It’s all about space and comfort. It’s just so much more comfortable with the flybridge. Give me the flybridge any day!
The flybridge gives a new dimension, it gives you more space and you can actually get away from each other. You’re not in each other’s face.
It’s not just a little seat up here … it’s a nice big bench seat; I’ve even slept up here!”
LATEST LAGOON CATAMARAN TESTIMONIALS
Lagoon Catamaran Charter Boat Investment Journey – Mike
Six years after purchasing a Lagoon 40 for charter in the Whitsundays, Mike reflects on the decision that exceeded expectations.
“We approached the charter boat investment with a business mindset. We modelled everything conservatively, and honestly, it’s performed better than expected. Even through COVID, we averaged around 165 charter nights a year, and the boat held its value far better than we’d anticipated.
The Lagoon 40 hit the sweet spot, it’s the perfect size for the Whitsundays market. Less intimidating for first-timers, and a strong performer in bookings.
The boat was delivered basically ready to charter.
After six years, I’d absolutely do it all again. It’s been a positive experience from start to finish, and if we go again I’d be looking at the Lagoon 43.”

Lagoon 46 Favourite Features Real Owner Testimonial – Mike and Linda
After 2 seasons of sailing the Med on their Lagoon 46 Mike and Linda shared what they love most, “The Lagoon 46 has given us a whole new level of freedom and comfort. I love the Code Zero sail for light wind performance, and Linda’s favourite spot is the flybridge, it’s where everyone gathers when we’re sailing. With a watermaker and generator on board, we’ve been able to explore more remote places and stay cool during the heatwaves in Greece. It’s made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable.”

Customisations and working with Lagoon – SEVENTY 7 Premium Offering Review – Luke
Luke the skipper of TMG Yachts latest Lagoon SEVENTY 7 handover said, “We were looking for a boat that enables us to do long-range cruising in comfort in luxury but also still being run by a small crew. The owner came from a sailing background and was really keen to get back to it, so it kind of met all our requirements. The team running the SEVENTY 7 line do a fantastic job adding all the customizations, they were super helpful and always answer your phone call, the support’s been fantastic.”
