The Lagoon 450 stands as one of the most sought-after bluewater cruising catamarans ever built, and this 2011 example represents a serious opportunity for buyers chasing ocean-ready capability without compromise. Stretching 13.98 metres on a commanding 7.8-metre beam, the 450 delivers liveaboard proportions that monohull sailors can only dream about — four private cabins, generous saloon volume, and a cockpit built for long passages and easy entertaining alike. Lagoon's reputation for producing well-sorted, production catamarans is well established globally, and the 450 sits at the sweet spot of the range: large enough to cross oceans in comfort, yet manageable for a couple to handle short-handed.
The shallow 1.3-metre draft opens anchorages and island chains that deeper-keeled vessels simply cannot access. Currently berthed in Wellington, New Zealand, this is a boat positioned and ready for Pacific cruising — the Marlborough Sounds, Fiji, Tonga, or beyond. Four-cabin layout suits either a cruising family or a charter operation with equal practicality.
At NZD $595,000, demand for quality Lagoon 450s in the Southern Hemisphere consistently outpaces supply. Inspections are strongly encouraged — boats like this don't sit around.
