S/V Best Day Ever is a 2008 Lagoon 420, for sale by owner. There are no other Lagoon 420 Owner Versions on the market in such great condition! Located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
These last several months my family and I have created unforgettable memories. Myself, my wife, and our two kiddos age 10 and 5 have had the chance to experience what most spend their lives just dreaming about. Sailing into the blue, discovering places we didn’t know existed, meeting amazing people in the boating community and seeing some of God’s most beautiful creations. We’ve caught tons of fish and some lobster, and have enjoyed many for dinner. The sunsets we’ve seen have been priceless and experiencing the adventure of nothing but water as far as the eye can see, while a little intimidating at first, in just a couple short weeks time became freeing and full of excitement!
The Lagoon 420’s are large and spacious. This is an owner version with 3 Cabin with queen beds and 3 separate private heads with electric freshwater toilets with large enclosed showers (no wet heads). The cockpit is slightly below deck level to allow for movement around the perimeter of the boat. The helm sits high and has almost 360 degrees of visibility, a crucial feature severely lacking in many catamarans.
The inside of our catamaran has the volume of a much larger boat. The doors to the saloon open wide enlarging living space. The galley looks out into the cockpit so the cook never has to feel left out and snacks can be served easily.
Outside, the stern platforms are wide with safe access to the dingy. There is plenty of space to walk around the boat with hand holds strategically placed where needed. The hard bimini will allow you to easily tuck in the sail after anchoring.
A great boat for family living and comfortable sailing. Turn key and ready for cruising!
