The Lagoon 52 is a 15.8-meter fractional sloop catamaran, built by Lagoon since 2011, available in FlyBridge and Sundeck versions with 3 to 6 cabins. Designed by Van Peteghem, Prevost, Nauta Design, and Lauriot-Prevost, it displaces 26,037 kg with an 8.7-meter beam and 1.6-meter draft. The design prioritizes comfort and interior volume, featuring a large flybridge and a spacious saloon for stationary living. Aboard Lauren Landers Sailing, a Lagoon 52 chartered in the Exumas experienced mechanical issues, including a leaking starboard transmission and a non-starting generator, requiring underway repairs and engine use to maintain power.2:49 Compared to the performance-oriented Outremer 52, the Lagoon 52 is characterized as a high-volume coastal apartment, emphasizing amenities over responsive sailing performance.5:21
