Redefining the benchmark for big cruising catamarans

The Lagoon 60 has once again taken centre stage in the international yachting arena, adding another coveted award to its growing trophy cabinet. At the 2025 Yacht Style Awards held at Singapore’s ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, the Lagoon 60 was named Best Sailing Catamaran Above 15 Metres, a recognition that solidifies its reputation as one of the most refined cruising multihulls in the world.

With over 350 guests in attendance – from industry heavyweights and design leaders to yacht owners and international media – the event highlighted the best of innovation, elegance and performance across the global yacht scene. For Lagoon, the win was another testament to its ability to blend cutting-edge naval architecture with luxurious liveability.

Continuing its winning streak

This isn’t the Lagoon 60’s first time in the limelight. In 2024, the model captured Multihull of the Year at the British Yachting Awards, securing a commanding 44% of the public vote – a strong endorsement from sailors and multihull enthusiasts around the world.

What sets the Lagoon 60 apart is its unwavering focus on owner comfort without compromising on performance. This model represents a next-generation approach to catamaran cruising, offering spacious yet functional interiors, a standout deck layout, and a seamless connection between inside and out.

A yacht designed to inspire

From the moment you step aboard, the Lagoon 60 impresses with its expansive and open-feeling deck spaces. Wide transoms flow effortlessly into the large aft cockpit, offering an ideal setup for entertaining at anchor or enjoying time underway. The signature Lagoon forward cockpit adds another social zone, while the flybridge – a hallmark of the brand – provides panoramic views and commanding control.

Below deck, large glazing panels flood the saloon with natural light, making the interior as inviting as the exterior is striking. The layout offers multiple configuration options, including up to six cabins, allowing owners to tailor the boat to personal or charter use.

Much of the Lagoon 60’s appeal lies in its sense of balance. It’s a yacht that sails well, handles smoothly, and looks right at home whether berthed in the Med, island-hopping in the Pacific, or crossing bluewater routes.

Entirely open to the sea, the aft cockpit of the Lagoon 60 affords exceptional freedom of movement.

Proudly represented in New Zealand

Kiwis keen to see what the global buzz is about won’t need to travel far. The Lagoon 60 is proudly represented in Aotearoa by 36 Degrees Brokers, offering a direct connection to one of the world’s most celebrated catamarans. The team at 36 Degrees are no strangers to the Lagoon brand, and their presence ensures that New Zealanders can explore, test, and eventually take delivery of these yachts with the support of experienced local brokers.

As demand grows for larger cruising multihulls capable of long-range passage-making and luxurious coastal living, the Lagoon 60 hits the sweet spot. It’s an offering that combines brand pedigree with contemporary expectations – and the accolades prove it’s resonating with owners around the world.

“Experience the Lagoon 60 – where cutting-edge design meets world-class performance,” says the team at 36 Degrees. “It’s an exceptional yacht for Kiwi sailors looking to take the next step into true luxury multihull cruising.”

A rising star with staying power

While yacht trends shift and evolve, the Lagoon 60’s back-to-back awards indicate a staying power that goes beyond fashion. It’s a catamaran designed for the way people really live on the water – with ample space to relax, robust sailing credentials, and finishes that rival any five-star hotel suite.

For those considering a cruising upgrade or preparing for a life afloat, the Lagoon 60 offers an inspiring and capable option. Backed by international acclaim and supported by New Zealand’s own 36 Degrees Brokers, this is a boat that lives up to the hype.
