The Lagoon Eighty 3 is the first motor catamaran of this size from Lagoon and marks a strategic step for the brand into the segment of large power catamarans over 24 metres. At around 24.4 metres long and around 11 metres wide, the Eighty 3 consistently exploits the advantages of the catamaran concept: enormous deck areas, high dimensional stability and a significantly larger amount of space compared to monohull yachts in this class.
The exterior design remains true to the Lagoon line, but has a more functional and less playful look than the sailing models. The striking superstructure with large windows and the spacious flybridge, which functions as a second living area, are characteristic features. Aft, a spacious bathing platform connects the saloon with the water; the transition between the cockpit and the interior is almost seamless. Overall, the focus is less on the classic yacht feeling and more on the idea of an open, functional living space, according to the shipyard. Inside, Lagoon favours plenty of light and clear lines. Panoramic windows ensure good all-round visibility, while the interior is modern and designed for long-distance cruising.
Further news:
Depending on the layout, four to six guest cabins are possible, plus separate crew areas. The owner's version has a spacious suite with plenty of storage space and a separate bathroom. The Eighty 3 is powered by two diesel engines, which are primarily designed for range and economical cruising, not top speed. What is special here is that the engines come from John Deere and not, as usual, from Yanmar or Volvo Penta. The shape of the hull promises smooth running behaviour and good efficiency at moderate speeds.
All in all, the Lagoon Eighty 3 presents itself as a spacious, technically sophisticated motor catamaran with a strong focus on space, stability and long-distance capability. She is less of a sporty motor yacht and more of a comfortable platform for long-term living on board and extended voyages with plenty of space for guests and owners.
