Lagoon 470 Catamaran Review – What Makes Her Popular for So Long?

The 470 is an update of the older Lagoon 47 that has withstood the test of time and numerous versions based on this original blueprint.

This Lagoon Catamaran 470 Review will go over the 470’s weak and strong points and concentrate on what has made this particular yacht popular for so long.

The yacht was designed with two things in mind: plenty of space and great performance. Combined, those two aspects have made for a boat that is a sailor’s favorite.

Table of Contents

Accommodations

Space and openness are the keywords when describing the 470. The cabins, saloon, and galley are all roomy and comfortable, while the design and color choices make this boat sunny and cheerful.

There is also plenty of headroom, making the sailing experience that much better for tall passengers. The decks are given the same wide, easy-to-navigate spaciousness as the rest of the vessel.

Typically, the Lagoon 470 has 4 cabins and 3 heads, all with plenty of space and comfortable furnishings.

There is a galley-up layout and a big saloon, both are easy to move around in, and the saloon has extra room for lounging and socializing.

The design of the interior was kept simple with lots of sunlight allowed in from the windows to brighten it up.

The decks are wide and allow sailors to come and go without feeling crowded or cramped. The bridge has an incredible view, but so does nearly every angle on the boat. The 470 was designed with clean lines and a sturdy, lightweight shell that makes sailing feel effortless.

As with all Lagoon catamarans , the boat is easy to control, and even novice skippers do not find an issue with the controls. The sails are good-sized and require more attention with fewer crew members on board.

The lightness of the boat makes for a sailing experience not unlike floating on air. If you are a sailor who appreciates a quick, light boat, the 470 should be your first choice!

Performance in The Wind

The Lagoon 470’s performance in the wind may be found just slightly lacking to seasoned skippers who notice everything, but most skippers and passengers would hardly notice any difference. The 470 performs well and doesn’t feel underpowered in the least, even if it struggles somewhat with its windward ability.

Twin engines give the 470 added power for situations that call for the use of an engine. The 470 powered up is easy to control, and maneuver, and sails smoothly, giving passengers a calm ride even if the weather or sea conditions are less than ideal.

Cruising while using power is made simpler with the ability to use only one or both engines, but the second engine shouldn’t be necessary for most circumstances. It’s still nice to have it there, just in case.

Lagoon 470 VS 410

The 410 is a serviceable boat, but many sailors with a 410 are upgrading to the 470. The 470 simply has more room than the 410. Headroom is increased on the 470, as well as a widened galley that is noticeably narrower in the 410.

The 470 is also superior in wind performance, even with its issues, and the 470 does better in bad weather conditions, whereas the 410 tends to sail choppily.

Why Sail the Lagoon 470

• Comfortable furnishings
• Well thought out, free-flowing interior and exterior designs
• Easy to control
• Handles well under power
• Sails are easy to rig with a good size crew
• Twin engines are good for extra power and a backup if needed

In Conclusion

The 470 is an update on an old favorite and has become a favorite in its own right. The 470 is not as big as some Lagoon catamarans, but not every sailor is looking for a big boat. This cat performs well, and there are not any serious complaints about its performance or design. If you want simple, easy, and comfortable, look no further than the 470!

12 thoughts on “Lagoon 470 Catamaran Review – What Makes Her Popular for So Long?”

Thanks for the Very interesting and thorough review. I really love the idea of extra head room, that is a very big advantage.

Would you recommend the 470 for a small crew with only one experienced sailor? I have the idea on how you describe it, it might be better with a bigger crew. Could you recommend any other options that are more suitable for a small crew? A couple of friends and me have the idea of sailing around the mediterranean next summer.. And need some information on this matter 🙂

Hi Marteen,

The Mediterranean is a wonderful place to sail , no doubt about it!

Of course you can take an experienced skipper , but then you will have to do all the job down by yourself. Which mean, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc..

If you want to relax and enjoy fully your sailing holiday, then I would suggest you and your friends to take a crewed yacht.

Don’t take me wrong a skippered yacht can be a great experience and you will improve your sailing skill:)

I hope it helped and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask, I’ll be more than happy to help!

Have a good day

Gosh what a gorgeous yacht! The Lagoon 470 Catamaran looks absolutely out of this world! I could stay in that for a week without it leaving the harbour!

Your review is very precise and honest and just makes me want to be on the yacht now! Does the price include the crew wages?

Yes the crew is included in the price, and if you want to spoil yourself, you can hire a cook and a hostess, but this will be as an extra

Thank you for passing by and for the comment.

I hope it helped, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions, I will be pleased to help

Have an awesome day:)

It’s really spacious and that rooms with the kids playing on the bed looked perfect. It’s been a while for me since I saw this kind of boats. It made me remember the “Water Worlds Movie’s boat”

I think those can only sail in calm weather, right? Also, liked the net a lot. It would be very funny to set on it looking underneath at the water 🙂

Yes it’s a wonderful boat for family and for couple of friends. There is a wide amount of space .It is not recommended to sail in a bad weather condition with any boat, and the catamaran is absolutely wonderful for cruising, not for racing. They can sail even upwind , but they will lose a little of they rapidity

Thank you for the comment and wish you a great day!

Its great reading about the 470, Actual new to this topic, but its obviously an area of interest.

This is absolutely an excellent review, giving every detail any one of interest will want to know about.

I will sure check in once in a while to the see what new stuff you have. Who knows just someday I should be able to afford the lagoon 470 for 7 days 🙂

Thank you for passing by and for the comment

I wish you a great day:)

I have owned sail boats myself and really enjoy sailing so chartering on the lagoon 470 catamaran would be a lot of fun. One of the best parts would be all the extra room compared to what I’m use to and the areas where you would be able to charter the boat would definitely be places worth seeing and sailing around.

Really nice post, gets one thinking about vacation.

Compared to monohulls , catamarans are much more spacious and faster. Many sailors have switched from a monohull to a catamaran and most of them wouldn’t go back to a monohull.

Maybe it will happen to you as well?

Thank you for the comment and wish you to sail soon:)

Reading your review, now I really want to visit Croatia and Greece. Well am fairly new to yacht sailings and would definitely consider this.

The pic and specs really indicate what you will be getting .

I really need a holiday, yacht sailing has made it on my top ten list.

I am happy this article awakens your desire to sail in Croatia:)

Thank you for the comment and I wish you to sail soon!

KATSINA HIGHLIGHTS

Rarely available Lagoon 470 - Owners' Version - Galley up

Spacious Catamaran ideal for family cruising 

Privately Owned from New / Never Chartered

Very lightly used. This boat has spent almost half her lifetime in dry storage.

Fully set up for long distance independent cruising

Volvo Penta 55HP regularly services and with very low hours at Pt. 2514  Stbd. 2649 only.

220-240V AC. Generous solar power supply and 3000W inverter.

Bulkhead meticulously inspected by shipwrights August 2022, no issues detected

Full Independent surveyed and engine report available on request 

Comes with impressive inventory, including scuba air compressor, numerous tools and spare parts, water toys, tender in excellent condition and everything on board to move in today.

Competitively priced and ready for immediate handover

------------------------------ 

Katsina  (Lagoon 470 hull number 37) has never been chartered and very lightly used.  She was unused and kept in dry storage for seven years before a French couple purchased her, carried out a refit and numerous upgrades in preparation for serious Bluewater cruising, and sailed her from the Caribbean to New Zealand, spending 3 years in French Polynesia.  

Since 2019 she has only been used a few months at a time in Northland NZ and always stored on land between use. 

Katsina is an ideal cruising boat for a family or even just a couple, as she is easily handled short or single handed.

This Lagoon 470 is very spacious compared to other 47 foot catamarans of this generation, with huge amounts of outdoor and indoor space.  Designed as world cruisers and live-aboard for family and large crews, storage abounds, and is in fact easily the best appointed catamaran design we have come across when it comes to storage.

Katsina's interior is in remarkable condition with the woodwork showing little, if any sign at all, of her 20 years of age. Floor, cabinetry, Corian counter tops, stainless steel fittings ect, could pass for near new. Similarly, her exterior is superbly maintained, there are no leaks anywhere, no mildew, and each and everyone of her lockers are clean and dry, including deck storage, sail lockers ect.

Other than some flaking paint on the aluminium crossbeam (painted aluminium always wants to shed its paint), we found Katsina to be simply stunning, with a gelcoat in excellent condition.

The Lagoon 470 is a large boat, but still capable of a good turn of speed when required in spite of her sturdy build. She is capable of sailing speeds in excess of 10 knots, and if the weather turns bad, she can take pretty much anything in her stride in a well-behaved manner.  

Katsina comes equipped with an excellent sail inventory, water maker, dive compressor, and everything on board you need to make yourself instantly at home, as well as a large tender in excellent condition and lots of safety equipment and spare parts.  

Docked at the popular international cruising hub of Whangarei Marina, about 3 hours drive north of Auckland,  Katsina is enviably located to explore the stunning NZ coastline, or to join the hundreds or so other boats for the winter exodus towards the South Pacific islands from Tahiti to Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, ect. 

Katsina's owner is on board and ready to welcome you should you wish to organise an inspection. As per Nautilus Yacht Management company policy for any yacht over the age of 10 years old, the boat was fully surveyed by an independent NZ marine surveyor. The survey report is available on request.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER: 

" Katsina  has been such a wonderful, fun and comfortable boat for us.  My Friends and I have enjoyed many holidays on board since I purchased her in early 2019.  

We’ve sailed every season here in Northland NZ and experienced all kinds of weather.  I’ve been so happy this boat was my choice, both when we were sailing down wind, wing-on-wing, at over 5kts in 12kts of breeze, and when we’ve motor-sailed comfortably into 2.5 meter swell.  

I was attracted to her for her superior sailing ability when compared to more recent builds of the same size. 

 In 2003, Lagoon designed these boats with comparatively narrower hulls as well as more strength throughout.  

Additionally, the layout of this particular vessel hits the nail on the head.  The galley-up and L-shaped settee, which converts to a bed, were “must haves” for me.  

Some aftermarket improvements also, are spot on.  A walkway between the hulls at the stern gives easy access to the dinghy, which sits on custom stainless steel davits/ solar arch.  And the lightweight hard top bimini functions as a rainwater catchment system.  

They say the best two days of owning a boat are the day you buy and the day you sell, but that will not be the case for me here.  I am sad to let her go and hope the new owner loves her as much as I have."

BROKER'S NOTE: 

In 1998 Lagoon introduced the Lagoon 470 and built only 51 hulls between then and 2005, citing that their costs to build were not yielding a high enough return percentage to continue production. Subsequent models were therefore built more towards a price point, and increasingly so post the 2010 GFC.

Some indicators you will find of a higher quality build are the use of nylon locking nuts rather than a dab of lock tight, thoughtful routing of electrical and plumbing rather than large holes through the bulkheads, and strong, fine finish work and cabinetry throughout.

-----------------------

ACCOMODATION DETAILS:

Katsina'  spacious interior offers one entire hull reserved for the owner's use, which in itself is the size of a veritable apartment. The owner's hull has a king size bed, writing desk, huge amount of storage including various hanging lockers, and direct access to it's own head area. Midship, a lounge area / settee, has been slightly modified to easily convert, when needed, into bunk beds, complete with lee sheet, and which can be set up at a moment's notice If more beds are needed. These bunks will fit a small adult easily, but are ideal for children who wish to share their parent's cabin if needed.

Katsina's large cockpit with teak flooring is perfect for daily living and can accommodate a lot of guests.  The varnished teak table is in lovely condition and is kept protected beneath a fitted clear cover. 

The integrated hardtop over the entire cockpit is an essential feature in keeping the cockpit dry and comfortable and also provides the additional advantage of being designed with a gutter and hose fitting to bring clean rain water directly to your water tanks.

Located in the cockpit, the helm is easily accessed, has excellent 360 visibility, and boasts a comfortable Captain’s bench which can sit two people.

There is also a removable section in the hardtop to protect the helms person from the elements when required. Once removed, the visibility around the boat and to the mast and sails is excellent.

Beneath the curved, comfortable sitting is a huge volume of storage space, including a large fridge.

The batteries, unlike other catamarans where they are hard to reach under the beds, are conveniently houses in a waterproof box designed for this purpose beneath the cockpit floor. 

Another key feature, ideal for families with children or people with pets, is that the cockpit doesn’t have walk-throughs at floor level, adding a layer of security from slipping overboard. 

Lastly, a retro-fitted teak walkway was added to the back of the cockpit transom, which is a truly wonderful addition, adding more space for such things as jerrycans or other equipment, but also providing direct access to the dinghy. 

Salon and Galley

The main Salon has a wonderful open feel with lots of room to move around.  In the centre is a navigation area, complete with autopilot remote control.

The galley is just superb, divided in two sections and offering a very generous surfaces for food preparation. The stove / oven is in great condition and directly situated beneath an opening deck pothole, which complements the salon's great cross ventilation features and keep everything cool and airy.

The cold storage capacity is once again incredibly generous, and suited to a large family needing to stock large ship's stores before heading out for a few weeks at sea. Both fridge and freezers are front opening, hidden beneath tastefully crafted timber doors.

The salon offers a fantastic area to relax and hide way from the elements while keeping a 360 degrees view over the sea. The versatile table, of a very unique design we have previously not seen on other yachts, is a large coffee table, which converts into a dining table with an adaptable base and extra leaf to suit more guests, or lastly, to convert into a very comfortable bed or lounge. The settee is of lovely grey leather is good condition, facing a large flat screen smart TV.

Loved by both owners and guests alike are the luxurious and spacious cabins with lovely woodwork, great ventilation and extensive storage space. The Master stateroom is located in the aft starboard hull and is the size of a veritable apartment, providing complete privacy with a sliding door separating the areas from the salon and the rest of the boat. Moving forward from the big size bed aft,  the owner's lounge area has an almost 6' long couch which converts to two bunk beds, with the backrest of the lounge lifting up to make a top bunk. Both bunks have proper mattered and the top bunk is fitted with a lee sheet. They can accomodate small adults but is ideally used for children.

Owners Berth has CD stereo system and USB/USBC charging port with voltmeter, 2x Reading lights, and computer desk with reading light.  Each berth has a cabin fan, abundant storage and hanging wardrobe. 

Forward again is the positively immense head area (bathroom), with completely separate shower cubicle, large basin and abundant storage, well ventilated with several deck hatches as well as portholes.

On the port side, there are two additional cabins, with the aft cabin offering a queen size bed, settee, ect, and the forward cabin a little smaller with a double bed. Both have plenty of storage, great lighting and  ventilation, beautiful wood fit out and a dry, pleasant feel. 

Both heads have dedicated shower with detachable hand-held shower head, bench seats, overhead lights.  The owners side has storage under sink, guest head storage is in double medicine cabinet. Both have manual toilets which process paper and require little maintenance.  

1x40L Hot Water System runs on engine heat exchange or electric power

LED lighting throughout the boat

Option to install washing machine (previously installed) in a dedicated port side cupboard. The plumbing is still there and a new machine can easily be installed. 

Ducted heating will keep you warm in the winter months, with each cabin able to control their own temperature.

We take pride in our happy customers

Andrew, and Andrew are both fantastic. Transaction was smooth and professional highly recommend the team over at Multihull.

— Paul Fosler

I just purchased my first large boat (my dreamboat) and Michael Streng and the rest of TMC was amazing! I really felt like I was a VIP customer because they were fast and easy to communicate with and worked ahead of me. It really was a treat and I would use them again any day!

— Collin Simmons

Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company have done an extraordinary job facilitating the sale of our catamaran. There were a couple of challenges (geography and timing) that made this sale a little tricky, but, as usual, Andrew was amazing. I’ve been buying and selling cruising boats for over 12 years and Andrew is, without a doubt, the best broker I’ve worked with.

— Mort Orlov

Andrew Hodgdon at TMC-St. Augustine kept us thoroughly informed during the sale of our boat and took the extra steps necessary to complete the deal. His knowledge of the process made a complex deal very easy. Needless to say, we are extremely happy and satisfied with the job that Andrew did.

— David Baxter

A shout out to Andrew Holland at the TMC main office, who handled the closing transaction of the sale of our boat. Very professional and thorough. Thank you!!
