2019 Lagoon 380 S2

The Lagoon 380 S2 is a 38-foot fiberglass catamaran powered by twin Yanmar diesel engines of 58 horsepower each. Built in 2019, this design has earned recognition as one of the most respected production cruising catamarans, valued for combining comfortable living spaces with efficient twin-engine handling, stable catamaran form, and accessible systems suited to owner-operator management rather than requiring professional crew.

The boat's appeal rests on genuine manageability at its size. The broad 21.4-foot beam creates interior volume and stability, while the catamaran form provides the kind of platform that supports extended cruising without demanding oversized systems or complexity. The dual engines and straightforward design make the boat handleable in close quarters and straightforward to operate and maintain.

This 2019 example carries real-world bluewater credentials. It participated in the World ARC 2024–25 circumnavigation rally, covering approximately 30,000 nautical miles through the Panama Canal, across the Pacific to Australia, through the Indian Ocean and around South Africa, and back across the Atlantic. The boat operated successfully in that context as the smallest vessel in the fleet, confirming the practical capability built into the design itself.
