Crew & Forepeak Cabins on Lagoon 52


The Lagoon 52 also features two single forepeak cabins, perfect for a skipper and hostess (or tender storage), accessed via discreet deck hatches. This layout option means your charter crew has private quarters, leaving the main cabins entirely to your party. Whether you choose a bareboat charter with a skipper upgrade or a fully crewed package, the dedicated crew cabins keep crew traffic out of guest spaces.


Lagoon 52 Sailing Performance & Top Speeds


Under power, the Lagoon 52 maintains around 8–9 knots with its twin 75 HP diesels at cruising RPM, with noise levels kept to a minimum. Under sail, her square-top fully battened mainsail and self-tacking jib allow her to reach 12–13 knots in ideal conditions. The mast-aft rig and diamond bows reduce pitching, offering a smooth, stable ride even in chop—perfect for guests prone to seasickness.


Lagoon 52 Exterior Design & Sailing Performance

The Lagoon 52 catamaran charter delivers a striking exterior profile, with its mast stepped further aft to improve balance and reduce pitching—even with a small crew. A shorter boom, self-tacking jib, and electric mainsail winch make sail handling effortless.

Drawing on VPLP’s offshore racing heritage, the Lagoon 52 features a powerful square-top mainsail and generous forward sail area, allowing for a wider choice of downwind sails and enhanced speed. Improved helm visibility ensures precise control, whether you’re reaching or running.

Sporting bold, diamond-shaped vertical bows, the hulls slice cleanly through waves while mini-keels provide solid lateral resistance and open up interior space. This technical design strikes the perfect balance between performance and comfort.

Available in both Sport Top (52S) and Flybridge (52F) versions, the Flybridge adds a luxurious vantage point with multi-position helm controls and electronics displays. A broad, shaded deck area offers ample room for lounging, making the Lagoon 52 an exceptional choice for a private yacht charter.


Lagoon 52 Interior Layout – Luxurious Comfort for Charter Guests

The Lagoon 52 offers an interior that matches its exterior elegance, with bright, modern finishes and generous natural light flooding through fixed hull windows, deck hatches, and portholes.

Choose from 3, 4, 5, or 6-cabin configurations—each cabin comes with its own en suite bathroom and shower, ensuring privacy and convenience for every guest. The owner’s suite is particularly spacious, designed as a serene retreat, while the remaining cabins provide comfortable accommodations ideal for family or friends.

The main living area features hardwood flooring, a gourmet galley outfitted with high-end appliances, and a large dining table perfect for shared meals. An open-plan layout connects the cockpit and saloon via sliding doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that’s perfect for entertaining or relaxing in style.

Whether you’re planning a skippered, fully crewed, or bareboat charter, the Lagoon 52’s thoughtful interior design makes it an outstanding choice for groups seeking both luxury and functionality.
