Welcome aboard the Lagoon 42
A simple, guest-friendly guide to what life is like on board
You don’t need to be a sailor to love the Lagoon 42. Think of it less like a “boat” and more like a floating seaside villa that moves you effortlessly between stunning bays, beaches and harbours.
Here’s what you can expect as a guest.
🌴 Space & comfort (the big reason people love it)
The Lagoon 42 is designed for relaxing together without feeling on top of each other.
Huge shared areas
The back deck (cockpit) and indoor lounge flow together into one big social space. It’s where you’ll eat, drink, chat, laugh and watch sunsets.
Bright & airy inside
Big windows mean lots of natural light and sea views even when you’re inside.
Very stable
Because it has two hulls, the boat stays flat. No dramatic leaning over like in movies. Great if you’re new to boats or get seasick easily.
🛏️ Cabins & bathrooms (yes, real ones)
Most Lagoon 42s used for charters have:
4 private double cabins
4 private bathrooms (one per cabin)
That means:
Couples get privacy
No queues for the toilet
Hot showers on board
Plenty of storage for clothes and bags
It feels much closer to staying in a small hotel than camping at sea.
🍽️ Eating, drinking & hanging out
Large dining table outside for group meals
Comfortable seating inside for coffee, cards or planning the day
Well-equipped kitchen with fridge, freezer, cooker and oven
(You’ll be surprised how normal life feels onboard)
Whether you’re having breakfast at anchor or a late-night drink under the stars, this is what the Lagoon 42 does best.
🌊 Swimming, sun & water fun
This is where the Lagoon 42 really shines for guests:
Easy access to the sea
Wide steps at the back make getting in and out of the water simple.
Perfect swim platform
Ideal for swimming, snorkelling, paddleboarding or just dangling your feet in the water.
Shallow draft
The boat can anchor closer to beaches and calm bays than many other yachts.
Expect lots of swim stops, floating around with a drink, and jumping straight into clear water.
🧭 Moving between destinations (no sailing knowledge needed)
You don’t need to understand sailing at all:
The skipper handles everything technical
The boat is designed to be easy and relaxed, not fast and aggressive
Guests can sit with the skipper, sunbathe, read, nap or enjoy the view while moving
Most people say they’re surprised by how quiet and peaceful it feels underway.
🎉 Why it’s perfect for groups & holidays
For groups of friends, couples or mixed ages, the Lagoon 42 works brilliantly because:
Everyone has their own private space
There’s loads of room to socialise
It’s stable, comfortable and forgiving for first-timers
It feels luxurious without being intimidating
Life onboard is easy, relaxed and social
It’s why the Lagoon 42 is one of the most popular charter yachts in the world.
