The Lagoon 440 helped shape the modern catamaran design by being the first production catamaran with a flybridge and a forward cockpit. Designed by the legendary naval architects, Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot-Prevsost, the Lagoon 440 helped make VPLP Design firm a household name in the catamaran world. Originally launched in 2004, the Lagoon 440 was an instant success and ultimately over 400 units were built between 2004 and 2010.
The original design brief was to design and build a catamaran that would work well for both private use, as well as the charter industry. The majority of the Lagoon 440’s built were the 4 cabin charter layout, which means finding a nice, non-chartered owner’s version, is a bit of a challenge today.
While challenging, it isn’t impossible and the 2006 Lagoon 440 Utopia, is the nicest example of a Lagoon 440 we’ve stepped onboard in the last year or two.
