The Lagoon 42 is a proven cruising platform with a 6.91 m beam that delivers the kind of stability and spacious cabin feel that makes daysailing comfortable and overnight passages relaxed. Its modest 1.35 m draft opens up shallow anchorages across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Pacific bases where our fleet operates—useful when your charter takes you to less-developed islands or tight harbor entrances.
With 103.96 m² of sail area and a manageable 12.95 m length, this model balks less at short-handed sailing than larger catamarans do. The displacement of 7507 kg keeps motion predictable in a seaway. Handling is forgiving enough for sailors new to cats, yet responsive enough that experienced crews can extract real performance when conditions favor it.
We have 322 Lagoon 42s spread across 87 bases—more than enough local knowledge, spares availability, and proven setup wherever you choose to depart. That fleet density also means you'll find returning crews who know exactly what works aboard this hull.
The Lagoon 42 has been a mainstay of our catamaran fleet since its introduction. With 322 boats currently operating across 87 bases in 17 countries, you'll find this model available year-round and across most of our sailing destinations—from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and beyond.
Model years in our fleet range from 2000 to 2026, meaning you can charter either a newer boat with contemporary systems or a well-proven older version. Availability varies by base and season, so check your preferred location and dates for exact options.
The Lagoon 42 works for groups and families who want a catamaran with proven stability and room to move. At 12.95 m long with a 6.91 m beam, it offers the kind of space that makes shared time on deck comfortable rather than tight. With 103.96 m² of sail area and a draft of just 1.35 m, you get capable sailing performance without the restriction of deep keels—useful when you're exploring shallow anchorages across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, or beyond.
Our fleet of 322 Lagoon 42s spreads across 87 bases in 17 countries, so availability is strong across the regions where this model thrives. Whether you're chartering in the Greek islands, the Dalmatian coast, French Polynesia, or the Caribbean, you'll find this catamaran ready to go. It suits sailors who value accessibility—easy to handle, predictable to sail, and built for the kind of cruising where you're comfortable anchoring overnight in protected bays rather than running down big ocean miles.

The Lagoon 42 gives you real choice. With 322 boats across our fleet, you'll find one available at one of 87 bases worldwide—from the Mediterranean and Caribbean to French Polynesia. That availability means you're more likely to get the model, dates, and location you actually want.
Bareboat makes sense if you and your crew have the experience to handle a catamaran this size. At 12.95 m long with a 6.91 m beam, she's substantial enough to feel capable in open water, yet manageable for a confident skipper who knows how to work her 103.96 m² of sail. The shoal draft of 1.35 m opens up shallow anchorages others can't reach.
Skipper charter is worth considering if your group wants to focus on enjoying the boat rather than operating it, or if you want local knowledge and someone who knows this exact hull. Either way, you're looking at a proven platform—the Lagoon 42 is established across our global bases, which means good availability and consistent conditions wherever you choose to sail.
