2014 Lagoon 620 ‘S/V Phoenicia’: A Custom, Never-Chartered World Cruiser

A heavily upgraded owner's-version 620 with in-boom furling, six cabins, and a galley built for serious passages.


Among Lagoon 620s on the market, S/V Phoenicia stands apart for a simple reason: she’s never been in charter. Broker Caroline Laviolette makes the point up front in her walkthrough, and the details that follow bear it out. This is a privately owned, custom-optioned 2014 boat that has clearly been built up for long-range cruising rather than turned over week to week.

Sailing systems built for shorthanded miles

The headline upgrade is in-boom furling paired with a carbon canoe boom — a rare setup on a 620, and one that transforms mainsail handling for a couple or small crew. Sail inventory is generous: two spinnakers (one socked, one bagged), a light-air sail on a continuous-line furler, and two electric furlers. Folding props reduce drag under sail.

Twin helms mirror each other with chart plotters and bow-thruster control on both sides, and the hardtop bimini with full zip-in enclosure keeps the working cockpit usable in any weather.

Deck and entertaining spaces

The aft cockpit is set up as a proper entertainer’s space: a custom wooden table with integrated drink holders seats at least six, backed by an exterior sink, grill, ice maker, and drink fridge. A top-loading beverage fridge saves trips below. A dedicated crane handles a kayak or canoe, a hydraulic passerelle takes care of Med mooring, and the Highfield aluminum dinghy rides on a hydraulic lift that drops to (or just below) water level — or raises to form a between-hulls beach platform.

A galley and layout that rewards long trips

Inside, the L-shaped salon flows seamlessly to the cockpit, with tables that convert from coffee to dining height and a TV on a televator built into the countertop. The galley reads more like a shoreside kitchen: Miele induction cooktop and oven, microwave, dishwasher, twin stainless sinks, a fridge/freezer, and abundant storage.

The port midships cabin is where Phoenicia really deviates from the standard 620. Instead of a guest suite, it houses an upright Liebherr freezer alongside side-by-side refrigerators, a full-size pantry, hanging lockers, a washing machine and separate dryer, a broom closet, and a daybed — a provisioning and utility zone purpose-built for extended cruising.

The remaining accommodations still offer four queen cabins with en suite heads and separate showers. The starboard aft cabin serves as the primary, with direct access to the sugar scoop.

Systems and power

Propulsion comes from twin Volvo D1-50s. House power is handled by 2,000 watts of lithium batteries backed by a 17 kW Onan generator in the forepeak technical locker, with an international step-down converter for shore-power flexibility abroad. An upgraded CZone system at the nav station consolidates tank monitoring, lighting, and switching, alongside an oversized chart plotter.

Against that backdrop, a never-chartered 620 with in-boom furling, lithium house bank, and a custom provisioning layout is a genuinely differentiated boat.

I learned how to walk on a boat. I’ve cruised, raced and lived aboard in my youth. I too share your dream of perfect afternoon sails and secluded anchorages. I started as a yacht broker in 2000 and have had the opportunity to work with clients in the purchase and sale of almost every type of cruising catamaran on the water today. I have helped hundreds of clients purchase yachts new and used from 30’-77’ and have come across every type of situation and problem that may arise in a transaction.
