Introducing the new Lagoon 47

by TMG Yachts 28 May 15:47 PDT

With the launch of the all-new Lagoon 47, Lagoon continues its evolution of the modern cruising catamaran, introducing a model designed around the way owners truly live onboard.

Taking over from the Lagoon 46 in this popular size range, the Lagoon 47 brings together long-range sailing capability, practical innovation, and a stronger connection between life onboard and the surrounding environment. Rather than reinventing the formula entirely, Lagoon has refined and rethought the details that matter most, from movement throughout the boat to sail handling, comfort, and usability during extended time away.

The result is a catamaran that feels unmistakably Lagoon, while pushing the brand's next generation of cruising design forward.

Designed around real cruising

One of the most noticeable changes aboard the Lagoon 47 is the enhanced connection between the saloon and forward cockpit. A large opening creates a far more seamless flow between interior and exterior spaces, improving ventilation and allowing owners to move naturally throughout the boat while remaining connected to the water and surroundings.

The flybridge has also been completely redesigned, now offering improved access, better helm ergonomics, and more integrated social spaces without losing sight of the sailing experience itself.

Below deck, Lagoon introduces a brighter, more refined interior atmosphere. Larger windows bring in significantly more natural light, while new materials and finishes deliver a softer, more contemporary feel intended for extended cruising comfort.

Built for long-range capability

While comfort and liveability are central to the Lagoon 47, sailing performance and passagemaking remain at the core of the design.

An efficient hull shape paired with multiple rig and sail configurations allows owners to tailor the boat toward either simplicity or enhanced sailing performance. Standard in-mast furling keeps sail handling manageable for cruising couples and families, while optional square top slab reefing and downwind sail packages cater to those planning more ambitious offshore adventures.

Combined with improved onboard autonomy, generous storage, and easier service access, the Lagoon 47 has clearly been designed with real-world cruising in mind.

Key features of the Lagoon 47:

  • Seamless saloon-to-forward cockpit connection
  • Completely redesigned XL flybridge layout
  • Improved helm visibility and ergonomics
  • Brighter interior with larger windows and refined finishes
  • Standard in-mast furling mainsail
  • Optional square top slab reefing upgrade
  • Multiple downwind sail package options
  • Efficient hull design for passagemaking
  • Enhanced boarding and transom functionality
  • Designed for simplified long-range cruising

A new direction for Lagoon

According to Joe Fox, brand manager for Lagoon in Australia, the Lagoon 47 reflects a broader shift in how modern owners are using their boats.

"What stands out with the Lagoon 47 is how every space on board has been designed with intent. A versatile cabin layout, suiting both commercial and private use gives good flexibility for owners, and the new level of internal finish is one that will be well received in the marketplace," said Fox.

"Lagoon has clearly listened to owners. There's a real balance here between simplicity, comfort, and genuine offshore capability. It's a boat that feels equally suited to weekends with family or much bigger adventures."

Built in collaboration with VPLP Design and Nauta Design, the Lagoon 47 continues Lagoon's focus on creating cruising catamarans that are approachable, practical, and capable of supporting long-term life on the water.

For Australian buyers, the Lagoon 47 is expected to generate strong interest as owners continue searching for platforms that combine liveability, easy handling, and true cruising versatility.
