Lagoon 60 first look: New catamaran with several innovations

The new Lagoon 60 features hull sides that hinge down offering an extremely wide area for entertaining and relaxing at anchor

This full flybridge design fills a big slot that previously existed between the Lagoon 55 that was launched in 2021 and the more lavishly appointed Sixty 5. The new Lagoon 60’s huge aft cockpit can be fully opened out onto the water, including hull sides that hinge down like butterfly wings, creating an area even wider than the yacht’s generous 32ft beam allows.

There’s also a large forward cockpit on the same level as the saloon, and with direct access, making this an ideal yacht for larger parties.

Layout options include five cabins with a bridgedeck galley, or four cabins with the galley in the port hull, accessed by its own stairs. This version also has a smaller bar area on the bridgedeck, along with a larger saloon.

As with the 55, the rig is stepped further forward than on earlier models and is fitted with overlapping headsails. Naval architect VPLP says these offer more flexibility and efficiency on a boat of this type than the near ubiquitous non-overlapping jibs of today’s yachts.

The towering air draught of almost 100ft (30m) allows a generous sail area, even though the flybridge means the boom of this multi-story vessel is several metres above the waterline. Despite an unladen displacement of 32 tonnes, if the Lagoon 55 and 51 (launched 2022) are anything to go by, the Lagoon 60 will sail a lot better than the enormous windage suggests.

It’s a format that’s now well proven – Lagoon celebrates 40 years in business this year and has built more than 7,000 yachts. The first Lagoon 60 is already complete and will initially premiere at an open event at the yard in Bordeaux, rather than at La Grande Motte. It will feature Lagoon’s innovative new furling boom system for easier sail handling.

The Lagoon 60 catamaran, launched in 2024, sits comfortably between the Lagoon 55 and the Lagoon 65, offering an enticing size of balance of size, comfort, and performance.

Living Area

One of the standout features of the Lagoon 60 is its spacious and well-thought-out living area. The saloon is open and airy, thanks to large panoramic windows that allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a sense of space and connection with the surroundings.

The layout is practical and elegant, with a large U-shaped sofa that can comfortably seat a group, making an ideal space for socializing or relaxing. The galley is seamlessly integrated into the living area, featuring modern appliances, ample storage, and a large countertop.

The use of high-quality materials and finishes throughout the living area speaks to Lagoon’s commitment to luxury and comfort. The color scheme is neutral and sophisticated, enhancing the overall sense of calm and relaxation.

Catamaran Tour from the Cannes Yachting Festival

The Lagoon 60 is designed not just for comfort but also to sail. It features a powerful sail plan that gets this yacht moving through the water when the wind freshens. Granted, she won’t accelerate as quickly as a performance cat with all of that space and weight, but with a powerful sail plan, she is no slow coach either.

Following the design of the 55, the rig is stepped further forward compared to previous models and she comes with an overlapping genoa for more power upfront giving you more flexibility versus a self-tacking solent. The flip-side is that there is more work when you tack.

She comes with either a high roach mainsail (135 m² /1,453 sq. ft.) or a square top mainsail (143 m² / 1,539 sq. ft) and a 87 m² / 936 sq. ft overlapping genoa giving you an upwind sail area of up to 230 m² / 2,475 sq.ft. Add the optional Code 0 and gennaker for maximum power in lighter winds. There is also a staysail for feistier conditions.

The yacht is equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation and control systems.

Pros & Cons

Main features.

The Lagoon 60 is packed with features that set it apart from the competition. Lagoon have enlarged the flybridge with 360-degree views and a spacious lounging area, which is perfect for sunbathing, enjoying a sunset cocktail or helming.

Another highlight is the hydraulic platform at the stern, which doubles as a tender lift and a private beach when lowered.

Outside Living Space

The outside living spaces on the Lagoon 60 are as impressive as the interior. The aft cockpit is a continuation of the saloon, a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. It’s equipped with a large dining table and plenty of seating, making it a great spot for alfresco dining.

The forward cockpit offers another outdoor area to relax, complete with comfortable seating and sun pads. This area is ideal for enjoying the breeze while under sail in calmer conditions or for quiet moments at anchor.

The huge aft cockpit opens fully out onto the water at anchor with hull sides that hinge down to create an even bigger platform, wider than the yacht’s already generous 32ft beam.

The Lagoon 60’s hulls house the sleeping quarters, with several layout options available. Layouts include five cabins with a bridgedeck galley, or four cabins in a “galley-down” set up in the port hull, accessed by its own stairs. This version has a small bar area on the bridgedeck, and a larger saloon. The cabins are spacious, with large windows that offer views of the sea.

Storage space is abundant, with plenty of lockers and wardrobes to keep belongings organized and out of sight. The design of the hulls maximizes space.

The Lagoon 60 catamaran is an impressive blend of luxury, performance, and innovative design. Its spacious living areas, both inside and out, will make it a top choice for those who value comfort while cruising. The sailing performance is strong, with the yacht offering both stability and speed. The trade off for all of that space is the weight, so you will need the engine in light winds, but once the wind picks up she will sail well, especially if you have the Code 0.

There is a reason that Lagoon have the largest market share in the global catamaran market, and that is because they understand their market. This yacht is another evolution that will add to the success of the French manufacturer.

It’s been six years since Lagoon launched a range of sailing yachts (and its powercat variants). The SIXTY 5, with its 67’5” (20.55 m) overall length, now coexists with the SEVENTY 7, which is almost 10 feet (3 m) longer. At the same time, the historic range stopped at the 54’4” (16.56 m) Lagoon 55.

It was therefore only logical for the world’s leading manufacturer of cruising catamarans - 7,000 examples built over the course of almost 40 years - to launch a larger model: the Lagoon 60 was announced at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Overall, this next model, for which production has just begun, has a silhouette relatively similar to that of the 55, except that the sail plan uses the overlapping genoa of the latest 51. The main innovation concerns the aft cockpit, literally transformed into a beach club by eliminating the traditional bench seat. This enormous surface area is further enlarged by an aft platform and fold-down bulwarks. As for relaxation space, the forward cockpit and huge flybridge, equipped with a full galley, are not to be outdone. The first Lagoon 60 is due to be presented at Bordeaux in March 2024. We’ll be there, of course!
