Lagoon 38 – A New Era for a Legendary Model
Launch Date: March 12–15, 2025 (Lagoon Exclusive Days)
The Lagoon 38 marks the long-awaited successor to the wildly popular Lagoon 380, a model with more than 900 units sold over two decades. This updated version is inspired by the design and spacious concept of the Lagoon 43, offering enhanced comfort, functionality, and sleek aesthetics in a compact format.
Why It Stands Out:
- Exceptionally voluminous front hulls, enabling a layout with spacious cabins in the foredeck
- Easy, safe access to the cockpit and the dock via extended, adapted transoms that allow for side-boarding
- "In & Out" layout with sliding glass doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow from saloon to cockpit
- A spacious, modular interior with a table that can seat up to 10 people when combined with the cockpit area
- A galley that offers generous space for cooking and storage, including a full-height fridge/freezer.
- Ideal for families, owners, and charterers seeking performance, seamlessly connected living areas, and optimal comfort at an affordable price point.
- At just 37 feet, her design maximizes functionality, comfort, and smart storage solutions, creating the feeling of being on a much larger yacht.
Configuration: 4 cabin/2 bathroom
Lagoon 46 ICONIC – Refreshed Style, Enhanced Functionality
Launch Date: March 12–15, 2025 (Lagoon Exclusive Days)
An award-winning fan-favorite model receives an elegant style update and a few smart innovations under the new ICONIC designation. The updated Lagoon 46 now features refined design elements with a nod to Lagoon’s early heritage and a reimagined forward lounge area, complete with sun pads and forward swim ladders for direct sea access. While retaining the standout features that have made the Lagoon 46 a beloved favorite, the updated model introduces a series of thoughtful refinements, detailed below.
Highlights:
- Sleek and elegant visual identity developed in collaboration with Garage Yacht Design
- Bright and airy interior by Nauta Design with a combination of fresh and nostalgic design elements (honoring Lagoon’s early heritage from the 1980s)
- Redesigned forward cockpit with new, extended sun pads over the trampoline and easy access to the water with a forward swim ladder
- Revolutionary furling boom system (visible, not concealed), enhancing ease of sail management
Configuration: 4 cabin/4 bathroom
The model retains its core DNA: smooth sailing, optimized performance, and a bright, spacious interior, but now with a bold, contemporary twist that owners and charter guests will love.
The Lagoon 46 Iconic is available immediately for purchase through Navigare Yachting.

Flush-floor saloon with 360° sea views and customizable interiors - Offers a layout with a spacious downstairs galley in the port-side hull.
