From beginner sailor to 2,041 nautical miles through Europe. ⛵🌍
When Long collected his new Lagoon 43 in France, he wasn’t simply starting a Mediterranean holiday.

He was beginning the first stage of an 18,000-nautical-mile journey home to Australia.
Stage One was all about building experience, and what a way to learn.
Long Story sailed from France across the Bay of Biscay to Portugal, continued along the Spanish coast and into the Mediterranean, before exploring Formentera, Ibiza, Mallorca and Cabrera.

Along the way came dolphins at sunset, night watches, Code 0 sailing, challenging conditions, quiet anchorages and plenty of lessons.

Long also went from being terrified of docking to completing more than 10 dockings himself, while developing his skills in weather analysis, passage planning, anchoring and sail handling.
And this is only the beginning.

Next comes the Atlantic, the Caribbean, Panama Canal, French Polynesia and eventually the Pacific crossing home to Australia.

Big things are happening on the Lagoon 38 and Lagoon 43. ⛵

Lagoon has announced a series of exciting new upgrades for 2026, designed around how owners are actually using their yachts.

On the Lagoon 38, a completely reimagined saloon layout introduces more lounging space, smarter storage and even greater comfort for extended time onboard.

The Lagoon 43 is getting more choice too, with owners now able to select between two different master cabin configurations, including a more traditional aft-berth layout alongside Lagoon’s progressive forward-berth design.

And then there’s something particularly exciting coming to BOTH models...
🤫 Lagoon Silent Mode.

The new energy management system is designed to deliver silent air conditioning and power key onboard systems with less reliance on constant engine or generator use.

That means quieter nights at anchor, reduced fuel dependency and a more sustainable way to enjoy life onboard, without sacrificing comfort.

More choice. More comfort. Smarter energy management.

Welcome aboard the incredible new Lagoon EIGHTY 2. ⛵

At 82 feet, this is Lagoon’s most ambitious sailing catamaran yet, and almost every part of it has been designed to make life on the water feel extraordinary.

Some of our favourite features?
🌊 A hydraulic swim platform that transforms into an approximately 20m² waterfront terrace
☀️ More than 50m² of flybridge space, complete with dining, sun lounges, wet bar and barbecue
🛏️ A spectacular owner’s suite with king-size bed, walk-in wardrobe, oversized ensuite and its own private opening terrace over the water
🥂 Multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, including a clever day galley in the saloon
🛥️ Flexible accommodation for owners, guests and professional crew
🌍 Genuine bluewater capability for owners dreaming of exploring well beyond their home waters

At this scale, it feels less like stepping aboard a traditional sailing yacht and more like entering your own private waterfront residence.

But behind the luxury is a yacht designed for a serious purpose: extended cruising and exploring the world in exceptional comfort.

What do four seasons sailing the Mediterranean actually teach you? ⛵

For Lagoon 46 owners Mike and Linda, the biggest lesson has been surprisingly simple:
Don’t be afraid to give things a go.

When they first began cruising aboard Jabulani, Mediterranean mooring felt confronting, overnight passages were a major milestone and Mike never imagined he’d one day be servicing the generator himself.

Four seasons later, their confidence has completely changed.

Along the way, they’ve picked up plenty of practical lessons worth sharing:
⛵ Take your time when Med mooring, no matter who is waiting
🌙 Reef before sunset when preparing for an overnight passage
🌤️ Compare multiple weather forecasts before making passage decisions
🪢 Carry longer, genuinely floating lines for Mediterranean mooring
🔧 Learn your yacht’s systems gradually rather than expecting to know everything from day one
🌊 Choose a yacht you’re genuinely comfortable managing with your regular crew

Perhaps most importantly, they’ve learned that confidence comes from experience.

The more capable they’ve become, the more freedom they’ve had to explore.

After four seasons aboard their Lagoon 46, Mike and Linda share their best sailing tips and the lessons they wish they knew when they started.
