Fresh from its global unveiling at the Lagoon Exclusive Days in Bordeaux, France, the all-new Lagoon 38 has officially arrived. Lagoon, known for their innovative and high-quality multihulls, introduced this exciting model in late February 2025 at an exclusive event attended by 500 select customers.

The Lagoon 38 builds on the legacy of the Lagoon 380. It’s the ideal choice for those looking to embrace a new way of living and working on the water. One of its standout features is the extended transoms, which make getting in and out of the water a breeze. Whether you’re swimming, snorkeling, or just dipping your toes, these redesigned platforms add extra convenience and safety.

Another great feature is the smart layout, designed to create an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. A retractable glass door seamlessly connects the salon to the cockpit, making the transition between lounging inside and soaking up the sun outside feel completely natural.

Despite its size, the Lagoon 38 feels incredibly roomy. There’s plenty of space for relaxing, socialising, and entertaining, with large windows letting in loads of natural light. The two hulls house up to four double cabins with queen-size beds and private bathrooms, giving everyone their own comfortable retreat after a day at sea. Smart storage solutions mean you’ll always have space for your gear, no matter how long the journey.

Designed for stress-free cruising, the Lagoon 38 is all about making life on board as enjoyable as possible. Massimo Gino from Nauta Design sums it up best: “The new Lagoon 38 is designed to offer owners and guests the highest level of onboard experience and lifestyle, above anything already on the market for a unit of this size.”
