The Lagoon 52 is a 15.8-meter fractional sloop catamaran, built by Lagoon Catamaran 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. Aboard *Lauren Landers Sailing*, a Lagoon 52 chartered in the Exumas experienced a starboard transmission oil leak and generator failure, requiring underway repairs. *Ale & Max - Y2K Sailing Adventure* sailed a Lagoon 52 named *Idra Terza* through Croatia, noting it was their first time sailing a catamaran.3:16 A Lagoon 52 Sport Top, seen by *Igor Stropnik*, transited 2,000 nautical miles from Amsterdam toward the Mediterranean, utilizing a Code Zero sail for light-air downwind performance and a digital "Shiber" control panel for systems. *Practical Sailor* compared the Lagoon 52 to the Outremer 52, noting the Lagoon prioritizes interior volume and comfort with a large flybridge and spacious saloon, contrasting with the Outremer's performance focus. *sailing vessel reality* observed a Lagoon 52 anchored in Cala San Vicente, Ibiza.0:36
