2009 Lagoon 440 | 45ft

The 2009 Lagoon 440 is one of the most successful and highly respected cruising catamarans ever produced by Lagoon Catamarans. Designed by the renowned naval architects Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prévost (VPLP) with elegant interior styling by Nauta Design, the Lagoon 440 quickly became famous for combining exceptional offshore capability, luxurious onboard comfort, impressive living space, and reliable long-distance cruising performance.

This particular Lagoon 440 Owner’s Version is an outstanding first-hand example that has been meticulously maintained and continuously upgraded since construction at the Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie shipyard. Never used for charter and sailed exclusively by her passionate owner on private family voyages throughout the Atlantic and Caribbean, she presents in exceptionally rare condition for her age and is fully equipped for serious offshore cruising or comfortable long-term liveaboard life.

Purpose-built for autonomy, safety, and comfort at sea, this Lagoon 440 offers everything required for extended ocean passages, transatlantic crossings, or even a round-the-world adventure. With extensive equipment upgrades, modern electronics, renewable energy systems, and luxurious accommodation throughout, she is a turnkey cruising catamaran ready to sail immediately.

Design & Construction

The Lagoon 440 was designed to deliver a balance of comfort, safety, and performance rarely achieved in cruising multihulls of this size. Its wide beam, elevated bridgedeck, and stable catamaran hull design create enormous interior living space while maintaining excellent offshore capability and stability underway.
