Lagoon’s designers have surpassed themselves with the 440 model, proving how well the space can work on a catamaran platform. The raised, central flybridge on the Lagoon 440 provides the helmsman with a clear all-round view, whilst keeping the outdoor living space clear of lines. The aft cockpit is very well protected by a solid bimini that forms part of the deck moulding. A third cockpit in the bow is a great place to sit in the breeze and enjoy a sundowner. The saloon is typical of the Lagoon Catamaran range – plenty of rich woodwork with a modern galley facing the stern cockpit. Panoramic, clear views while under way or at rest can be enjoyed through the vertical acrylic saloon windows and sliding door. The Lagoon is a joy to sail with a light, responsive helm and bags of auxiliary power from twin 40 or 55 hp diesel saildrives. 2010 models feature a more comfortable raised and padded backrest for the helm station and a stainless pillar for more secure access to and from the flybridge.
