A well-equipped owner's-layout Lagoon 42 that ticks nearly every box on a cruising cat buyer's wish list.
In a quick walkthrough for The Multihull Company, Conor Dugan introduces S/V Sweet Sweet Life, a 2020 owner’s-version Lagoon 42 that arrives on the market with what he describes as “pretty much every option ticked.” For anyone shortlisting a cruising catamaran under 45 feet, this hull deserves a close look.
Equipment That Matters
The Lagoon 42 has become one of the most popular mid-size cruising cats of the past decade, and this example leans into that reputation with a genuinely useful equipment list. Highlights called out in the walkthrough include the upgraded twin 57-horsepower Yanmar diesels — a meaningful bump over the standard engines for anyone planning heavier cruising loads — and a 13 kW Onan generator to keep the air conditioning, appliances, and systems running comfortably at anchor.
Creature comforts continue with a washer aboard, freshwater heads, a teak deck, and a dedicated cockpit refrigerator for al fresco living. Combined with the owner’s-version layout — which trades one hull’s guest cabins for a full-beam private suite — this is a boat clearly configured for extended cruising by a couple or small family rather than charter service.
