Vessel Description:

The LAGOON POWER 43 offers advantages only a catamaran can deliver. Speed and Efficiency. Speed thanks to the design expertise of Naval Architect Philippe Subréro, recognized specialist in the area of fast passenger ferry catamarans achieved with high performance hulls and very narrow water entries.

Efficiency provided by the use of powerful, yet economical diesel engines, balanced with inherently efficient catamaran hulls. The ratio of power to speed for this size powerboat, allows for offshore cruising and long passages that were reserved for displacement boats until now.

From the broad aft swim platform to the cozy forward cockpit, from the commanding fly bridge to the large aft cockpit, life and movement onboard is comfortable, simple and secure, thanks to wide passages and stainless steel stanchions, which surround the deck.

The LAGOON POWER 43 is incredibly maneuverable and easy to operate, even single-handed! The great distance between the two propellers makes her extremely manageable in docking and close-quarters maneuvering. Imagine being able to turn 360° within her own length! The balance of twin hulls delivers excellent, stable handling even in turbulent seas, at low or high speeds. The gentle passage of the hulls through the water makes ocean-going navigation simple and pleasant.

From Florida's canals to the blue waters of the Pacific, the LAGOON POWER 43 is as comfortable and stable for daylong escapades as for long passages. Thanks to her shallow draft, venturing through canals or tropical lagoons is easy and safe.

Enjoy the excitement of discovery without the stress. Cruising becomes pleasure as you explore beautiful anchorages from the New England coast to the Florida Keys, the Bahamas to the Virgin Islands, the Caribbean to the Gulf Coast, the Pacific North West to Mexico and beyond.

The 43’s hulls are a semi-displacement design with a deep forefoot and A V-shape central wedge to help displace water and reduce pounding and a chine above the waterline displaces spray.  A long keel protects the props, and the 43 can actually sit on her bottom if needed.

With a central covered cockpit, forward sun-cockpit, flybridge seating area under a canvas bimini and aft sun-loungers there are many spaces to enjoy the water views.

There is plenty of on-deck stowage for toys. A compartment forward of the house is nearly 5 feet deep and can easily absorb dive tanks, water toys, fenders and lines. Two additional forepeak lockers and two lockers on the afterdeck should help keep the 43 self-sufficient for weeks. Another compartment in the cockpit sole contains a liferaft locker.The galley includes a front-loading 12-volt refrigerator and good counter space. Again, stowage is everywhere, including a three-quarters height pantry, a bottle locker, a pot and pan drawer, and a dish locker. A four-burner range is under an opening hatch for added ventilation.

One of the 43’s most impressive features is her after cabin, which spans both hulls. The berth is in the middle, where standing headroom is not required. Ports surround the area, and an opening hatch is over the foot of the berth. There are his-and-her hanging lockers as well as a third locker, great for linens. The head is split, with a sink and MSD to port, as well as a shower, if needed. To starboard is a commodious shower stall with sink. The head is at the foot of the stairs to the stateroom’s private entrance, which means a shower after a day at the beach won’t require trenching water through the interior.Two identical staterooms are forward, both with wet heads.

Two opening ports and an overhead hatch funnel in fresh breezes, and the clearance over the berth provided an open feeling not found in many forepeak staterooms.

Additional stowage is in the passageway, which also houses the AC/DC panel.

Lagoon power range is known for its incredible use of space, both inside and out.  The main benefit, without doubt however, is the fuel economy, even with her upgraded powerful 320 hp twin diesels, at 7kts of speed, she is burning 1.2g/hr, which can save a significant amount of fuel consumption in comparison to a conventional motor yacht. With these big engines, she can reach speeds over 20kts and cruise at 15-18kts, from slow and leisurely, burning about as much fuel as a sailboat and fast enough to get out of the way of weather or make the anchorage before nightfall. Jumping on Caribbean passages nothing is more than a half day away for this boat, and turning on her own length making her easy to manage, even in the tightest places.

The catamaran hull also offers a far greater range, making long distance cruising a breeze. Her 1600 ltr capacity will give her a range of over 1300 nm!
