New Lagoon 47 Makes Its Debut in Australia

Introducing the All-New Lagoon 47 A New Benchmark for Cruising Catamarans in Australia

The all-new Lagoon 47 marks the next chapter in the evolution of modern cruising catamarans. Replacing the highly successful Lagoon 46, this exciting new model has been designed to meet the changing needs of today’s sailors. It delivers a refined balance of comfort, performance, practicality and liveaboard functionality.

Created for owners who spend extended periods on the water, the Lagoon 47 combines proven offshore capability with innovative design features that enhance everyday life onboard. It delivers improved comfort and usability, from enhanced social spaces to simplified sail handling and a greater connection with the surrounding environment. Every element has been carefully considered to elevate the cruising experience.

As Lagoon continues to lead the global catamaran market, the Lagoon 47 represents a significant step forward in cruising yacht design. It retains the qualities that have made the brand a favourite among Australian sailors.

Designed for the Australian Cruising Lifestyle

One of the standout features of the Lagoon 47 is its enhanced indoor-outdoor living concept. A newly integrated opening between the saloon and forward cockpit creates a seamless transition between spaces, encouraging natural airflow and allowing crew and guests to remain connected to the ocean at all times.

Whether you cruise the Whitsundays, explore the coastline of New South Wales, or embark on a longer offshore passage, this improved layout creates a more open and social atmosphere onboard. In addition, it enhances movement throughout the yacht. Furthermore, it encourages interaction between guests and crew. As a result, life onboard feels more connected and enjoyable. Meanwhile, the open design supports easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Ultimately, it improves comfort across all cruising conditions.

The redesigned flybridge is another major advancement. Offering easier access, improved helm positioning and better visibility, the space has been optimised for both sailing and entertaining. Owners can enjoy panoramic views while maintaining complete control under sail.

Below deck, the Lagoon 47 introduces a brighter and more contemporary interior. Designers refine the layout for improved liveability. Larger hull and saloon windows flood the living areas with natural light. As a result, the space feels open and strongly connected to the outdoors. Meanwhile, upgraded materials and finishes elevate the onboard experience and deliver a premium feel suited to long-term cruising and extended liveaboard adventures. Ultimately, every detail enhances comfort and usability onboard

Built for Offshore Sailing and Extended Cruising

While onboard comfort remains a major focus, the Lagoon 47 still delivers strong bluewater cruising performance. In addition, its efficient hull design supports impressive performance under sail. Furthermore, it maintains excellent stability in a wide range of conditions. At the same time, it preserves the easy handling that Lagoon owners value. As a result, sailors enjoy both comfort and confidence at sea. Moreover, the design supports efficient passage-making. It ensures responsive, controlled sailing in real-world cruising conditions.

The yacht offers a range of rig and sail configurations to suit different sailing styles. Standard in-mast furling provides straightforward sail management for couples and family crews, while optional square-top mainsail and slab reefing packages offer increased performance for sailors planning longer offshore passages.

Additional storage capacity, improved service accessibility and enhanced onboard autonomy make the Lagoon 47 particularly well suited to extended cruising throughout Australia and the Pacific.

From coastal cruising to serious passagemaking, this versatile sailing catamaran has been engineered to deliver confidence and comfort wherever the journey leads. It is designed for reliability and long-range capability, ensuring ease of handling in a wide range of conditions.
