The Lagoon 380, a 38-foot production catamaran designed by VPLP and built between 1999 and 2019, offers an accessible entry point into multihull ownership for under $200,000.1:26 The vessel features a 21.5-foot beam, a 3-foot 9-inch draft with fixed mini keels, and a displacement of approximately 16,000 pounds.1:59 Owners can choose between a three-cabin owner’s version or a four-cabin charter layout.2:45 While the boat lacks high-end upwind performance, it cruises comfortably at 7 to 10 knots off the wind and provides exceptional maneuverability under power due to its twin-engine configuration.3:40 Construction utilizes foam sandwich above the waterline and solid fiberglass below, with balsa coring in the deck and bridge deck.4:50 Prospective buyers should prioritize inspecting sail drives for corrosion, checking for moisture intrusion in cored areas, and assessing the vessel's weight, as overloading significantly degrades performance.5:50 The Lagoon 380 remains a popular choice for couples and families seeking a stable, predictable platform for coastal cruising and island hopping.9:23
