The Lagoon 52 is a 15.8-meter fractional sloop catamaran, built by Lagoon since 2011, designed by Van Peteghem, Prevost, Nauta Design, and Lauriot-Prevost. It is available in FlyBridge and Sundeck versions, offering 3 to 6 cabins and 6 to 14 berths. With a displacement of 26,037 kg, the Lagoon 52 prioritizes comfort and amenities, featuring a large flybridge and a spacious saloon for stationary living, contrasting with performance-oriented catamarans like the Outremer 52.4:33 Aboard "Lauren Landers Sailing," a Lagoon 52 chartered in the Exumas experienced mechanical failures, including a leaking transmission and a non-starting generator, requiring underway repairs and reliance on engine power.3:35 "Ale & Max - Y2K Sailing Adventure" planned a two-week charter in Croatia aboard a Lagoon 52, noting its Maltese flag and the need for specific MMSI identification.2:28 An "Igor Stropnik" tour of a Lagoon 52 Sport Top highlighted its lower boom height for easier mainsail access and a digital "Shiber" control panel for electrical systems, though a failure of this unit could disable critical functions.22:11 This vessel maintained 4.5 to 5 knots in 11–12 knots of true wind using a Code Zero sail and navigated shallow North Sea channels with depths down to 1.6 meters.44:17
