Bareboat Catamaran Lagoon 450 (2012)

The Lagoon 450 is a purpose-built cruising catamaran that combines the design pedigree of Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost with Lagoon's proven platform. This bareboat offers five cabins across dual hulls, with the flexibility to sleep up to ten guests across a mix of double and single berths plus the convertible salon arrangement. The catamaran design delivers shallow draft anchorability without sacrificing the stability and volume expected of a serious offshore vessel.

Four distinct living zones make this yacht exceptionally liveable for larger groups. The raised flybridge seats six comfortably and provides commanding views; the forward cockpit offers an alternative entertaining space; the aft cockpit connects directly to the saloon; and the air-conditioned interior removes the sting of tropical heat. Full electrical winches, a 100-litre-per-hour water generator, and an 11kW generator ensure true self-sufficiency. Snorkelling equipment and a tender with outboard motor are included, along with all linen and towels.

Based in Phuket, this catamaran opens access to the Andaman Sea's protected anchorages, limestone archipelagos, and coral reefs. Five-day minimum charters suit focused island hopping; seven days or longer allow for deeper exploration of Thailand's quieter cruising grounds. The bareboat model suits experienced skippers who value autonomy; alternatively, arrange a professional skipper or cook/hostess through the charter broker to elevate the experience further.
