The Lagoon 77, also marketed as the Lagoon Seventy 7, is a French sailboat that was designed by Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost with the exterior design by Patrick le Quément and interior design by Nauta Design. It was intended as a cruiser and for the yacht charter role and first built in 2017.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The design has won numerous awards and is the largest boat built by Lagoon.[6]
The design has been built by Lagoon catamaran in France, since 2017 and remained in production in 2023.[1] [2] [5] [7] [8] [9]
The Lagoon 77 is a recreational catamaran, built predominantly of vacuum infused polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. The design is solid fiberglass below the waterline, with a balsa core above the waterline and in the deck. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, three sets of swept diamond spreaders and aluminum spars. The forestay is stainless steel rod, while the shrouds are Kevlar. The hulls have plumb stems, reverse transoms with swimming platforms and a central boat lift, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by dual wheels on the flying bridge and twin fixed fin keels. It displaces 1396580NaN0 and would norally be sailed by a professional crew.[1] [2] [10]
The boat has a draft of 6.25feet with the standard twin keels.[1] [2] [5]
The boat is fitted with twin Swedish Volvo D4-175 diesel engines of 1750NaN0 or twin John Deere N5 2300NaN0 diesel engines for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2] [5]
The design is highly customizable and may fit four to six cabins, each with a private head, and providing sleeping accommodation for eight to twelve people. When a "owner's" cabin is fitted, it is located in the starboard hull and may include an optional fold out "veranda" with a swim ladder. The port hull can replace cabins with a massage room, a movie theater, a playroom, or a full conference room. Cabin maximum headroom is 860NaN0.[1] [2] [10]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a code 0 sail of 2207square feet or an asymmetrical spinnaker of 4820square feet.[1] [2]
A catamaranreviews.com review noted, "in conclusion, the Lagoon 77 catamaran with its optimum performance, extravagant living areas and exquisite facilities on board is one majestic catamaran to take to the sea – the worth of which is reflected in its price tag!"[6]
Katamarans reported, "what I particularly like about this design, is how VPLP have created a sleek looking yacht while sticking to that Lagoon winning formula: comfortable, safe sailing platforms that use every inch of space available. Having a yacht like this at the top of their range can only help the Lagoon brand in the long run."[11]
In a 2017 review for boats.com, Zuzana Prochazka wrote, "hull number-one of Lagoon’s new 77-footer, the SEVENTY 7, dominated the Miami boat show this winter. She rested at the dock, pulsating, almost breathing, as fingers pointed and mouths gaped open. Between her size and stand-out features, she commanded attention and sprouted lines of spectators wanting to inspect this newcomer. A big beastie, she’ll be the coveted domain of a lucky few enjoying crewed luxury whether in private ownership or on charter."[10]
The topRik Team in their review of the yacht highlighted such advantages: "After all of our testing, we can tell you about the impressions that we received on the basis of our own experience and conversations with customers. A number of strengths of this model can be identified.
