Lagoon 60: Experiencing a Catamaran Icon Firsthand at the Miami Boat Show 2025
The Miami Boat Show is always a spectacle of innovation, craftsmanship, and pure luxury, but stepping aboard the Lagoon 60 in person was an entirely different experience. As we approached the vessel on display, we immediately understood why this catamaran has become a staple in the world of luxury sailing. Seeing it in photos and reading its specs is one thing—but running our hands along its sleek lines, stepping onto its wide, stable decks, and taking in the panoramic views from its expansive interiors gave us a whole new appreciation for what makes the Lagoon 60 an icon.
First Impressions: Spacious, Elegant, and Thoughtfully Designed
Walking up to the Lagoon 60, its modern silhouette was impossible to ignore. The design is as striking as it is functional, with clean lines, an impressive 14.75-meter (48’5″) length, and a beam that provides a vast deck space. The size alone commands attention, but what struck us even more was how inviting the yacht felt—even at a busy show, the deck layout encouraged effortless movement.
Stepping aboard, the aft cockpit instantly stood out as a natural gathering space. Designed with comfort in mind, the seating area wraps around a central dining table, making it the perfect spot for al fresco meals at sea. The flush deck layout creates a seamless flow between the interior and exterior, something we appreciated as we moved towards the main salon.
A Closer Look Inside: Luxury and Functionality in Harmony
Stepping through the large sliding glass doors, we entered the main salon, where the Lagoon 60’s 360-degree views truly came to life. Natural light flooded the space, illuminating the premium wood finishes, plush seating, and sleek modern design. From here, it was easy to understand how the catamaran’s open-concept layout makes it feel much larger than its specs suggest.
One of the standout features we noticed was the customizable galley layout—either positioned in the salon (“up”) or below deck (“down”). The chef onboard explained how this flexibility allows owners to tailor their space depending on whether they prefer to keep food prep as a central activity or tucked away.
We also got to tour the multiple cabin configurations available on this model. With the ability to accommodate 6 to 14 guests, the master cabin felt more like a private retreat than a yacht bedroom—featuring spacious storage, en-suite facilities, and beautifully appointed details that exude comfort.
Performance and Innovation: Built for the Ultimate Sailing Experience
A Lagoon representative guided us to the flybridge, where the elevated helm station provided an unobstructed 360-degree view of the surrounding docks. Sitting at the helm, we could easily imagine the confidence this design provides while sailing in open waters. The boat show setting didn’t allow for a test sail, but we got to feel firsthand the ergonomic layout of the controls and the ease of maneuvering that Lagoon owners rave about.
Another innovation we appreciated was the self-tacking jib and user-friendly sail controls, designed to make sailing the Lagoon 60 intuitive and accessible, even for smaller crews. The twin 57 HP engines provided a reassuring sense of power when wind conditions demand motor assistance, and the yacht’s shallow 1.40-meter (4’7″) draft makes it ideal for navigating both deep waters and secluded anchorages.
Final Thoughts: The Lagoon 60 Lives Up to Its Reputation
After exploring every inch of this remarkable catamaran, one thing was clear—the Lagoon 60 isn’t just a boat; it’s an experience. The perfect blend of performance, luxury, and practical design makes it a dream for those looking to embrace the cruising lifestyle.
Experiencing this yacht in person at the Miami Boat Show 2025 was a true privilege, and for anyone considering their next big adventure on the water, the Lagoon 60 is absolutely worth seeing firsthand.
