Lagoon 380 catamaran.

The Lagoon 380 is the smallest catamaran built by Lagoon at 38 feet and is known as the most successful cruising catamaran model. Introduced in 2000,  it was built to be a workhouse for the charter industry and an entry level-cruiser. It is a great entry level cruising catamaran that sails better than many other cats and provides lots of living space for the money.

Despite the small size the Lagoon 380 combines spacious accommodations normally reserved for much larger catamarans while still retaining decent performance. Charter versions of the Lagoon 380 have four staterooms and two heads. Owner versions have a master suite in the starboard hull that has a spacious bathroom with shower and head, in addition to a small office space. 

The Lagoon 380 has above average performance and can reach speeds up to 10 knots in strong winds. With the wider hulls, weight and low aspect keels, the Lagoon 380 performance significantly decreases as you get closer to apparent wind. It is also slow in lighter winds due and most sailors will prefer to motor. 

The main salon is spacious and provides 360 degree views of the world outside. It is fitted with the vertical windows that Lagoon is known for and a sliding  panel that opens up to connect the saloon and the cockpit. The saloon has able seating for a family or entertaining guests. However, it suffers from limited shelf space and a small navigation station that doesn’t have much room for charts or additional electronics. 

The Lagoon 380 has a single station helm on the port side with a raised platform that gives good visibility. Most of the sail controls including the main halyard, main sheet and port jib sheet are accessible at the helm.   The hulls are built of solid fiberglass below the waterline and a mix of foam and balsa core above the waterline. The hulls are rather wide to accommodate double births and the bridge deck has 2.65 feet of clearance.

Description

2015 lagoon 380 catamaran

Production Numbers in 4 Figures Lagoon delivered over 1000 boats over the production lifetime. Line her up against the Lagoon 46 catamaran or the 42 and she still comes out as the top seller although production has now ceased. The 42 might overtake her at some point. The entry level boat at Lagoon is now the Lagoon 40, although sister company Excess has a 37 footer on its books: the Excess 11.

Circumnavigator The Lagoon 380 is a proven ocean crosser. She’s a sturdy, safe little boat that saw off the Lagoon 39 (also no longer in production) and continues to attract fans. She holds her value pretty well on the 2nd hand market too – quite a feat when you think of how many 380s are out there.

A Classic Catamaran This is an economical boat that is comfortable and has an acceptable level of performance. She’s no Ferrari (read our Gunboat 68 review if that´s more your budget). I would say she’s more of a Renault Espace. A reliable, solidly built catamaran that’s roomy for her size. How many other boats have this many hull numbers under their belt to feed back into the design process?

I can only think of the Prout Snowgoose. The L450 comes close.

  • The Lagoon 380 is one of the best selling catamarans ever (with the Lagoon 42), so it is tried and tested. And some! 380s are well built and safe.
  • She is comfortable for her size with those beamy hulls.
  • She is great value for money.
  • That compact size means it is easy to dock this boat -they are highly manoeuvrable with the twin engines. This boat turns on a sixpence.
  • Those vertical windows keep the sun out at midday and give you more living and head space.
  • She is a proven ocean crosser, even a circumnavigator.
  • The aft cockpit fits 6 people comfortably and feels secure.
  • You can’t leave the helm in both directions.
  • It isn’t the quickest catamaran, she’s slow to get going in light airs.
  • She is not great going to windward with those fat hulls and fixed keels. 55-60 degrees to true is probably optimal, with leeway. At 45 degrees, the speed drops off and the leeway picks up.
  • The quality of the interior finish is acceptable but it doesn’t wear that well.
  • Many of the older boats still have the soft top bimini.
  • Lagoon 380s do suffer from hobby horsing . Remember, this is a 37′ 11″ boat! On longer passages, you might want to move the anchor back off the front. Try and centralise the weight.
  • It´s not that easy to clamber up that high coach-roof

Lagoon’s signature vertical windows mean that you get the maximum space possible inside the boat for her length. Open up the double sliding doors and you have a decent sized area up top and the forward windows open right up to let the breeze flow through the boat at anchor.

Acceptable Performance You can expect to sail at 6 to 9 knots in a decent breeze – perfectly acceptable for cruising. She won’t sail to windward like a dagger-board cat, but what were you expecting? You’ll probably be pointing at 55-60 degrees to true and doing 6 knots or so. Stick the leeward engine to get the speed up and head 10-15° or so higher.

Bear Away Off the wind, she’s a great little mover! You will see the low teens in decent conditions from time to time.

She does have a reputation for being a bit of a hobby horse when the waves get up, but we are talking a 38 foot boat, right? You might need to focus on getting weight off the nose and away from the stern for longer passages: try to centralise the weight as much as you can. All in all though, she’s a compact, cosy boat.

Construction

The 380 is not the lightest boat for her size- it is a production boat after all, but it does pack a decent sail plan with an SA/D ratio of 22 (square top mainsail option) which is higher than many of Lagoon’s current models.

The hull is solid fiberglass below the waterline and is cored with a mix of foam and balsa above the waterline. Lagoon use a vinlyester resin in the outer layers of the laminate to protect against blistering. The deck is balsa-cored with solid laminate under the areas that need more strength.

Interior bulkheads are bonded to the outer sides of the hulls.

lagoon 380 salon

Cosy with Guests The saloon table and seating area is really cosy- great for entertaining, and you have a nav station, fridge and galley all in here. Pretty impressive!

The cabins are spacious for a 38 footer and the heads are functional.

The finish is not the highest quality, but it is acceptable at this price point and easy to fix. They are known to look tired quickly as the veneer damages easily, so you will need to look after her. The other big downside is the soft top bimini on older versions: you´ll just have to live with it at this price point, or dust off your wallet and add a hard top bimini and dodger.

The Hard Top Bimini Came Later Later versions have the hard top bimini as standard, with a neat sliding sunroof to poke your head out of. The mainsheet traveller remained on the aft beam.

Lagoon 380 S2

This being a yacht with such a long production run (1999 to 2019), the Lagoon 380 molds went through a few modifications. For example, Hull #35 (Serenity Now) was built in 2000, still almost 1000 hulls off the final production run tally. Barit is hull number 509, launched 2008.

The main upgrade (although owners of the original design would probably say it was a downgrade) was with the launch of the Lagoon 380 S2 in 2003.

The main changes they made were:

  • New shelves over the engine compartments
  • They moved the bulkhead of the shower forward in the Starboard Hull (more space inside, less in the forward locker).
  • Larger windows in the hulls
  • Sliding door for privacy in the owner’s hull (on the owner’s version of course)
  • Improved galley, sink and countertop
  • Improved helm dash (on later S2s)
  • Double helm seat (a good addition this)
  • Additional winch on the port side.

2015 lagoon 380 catamaran

Good Clearance Bridgedeck clearance is good and the sail plan will happily cover you from anything from 9 knots of wind to 35. You should be averaging 7 knots SOG most of the time giving you 150 nm a day- perfectly acceptable for safe long distance cruising.

The other thing is that it is difficult to see and trim the mainsail on a starboard tack given that the helm is on the port bulkhead. But this is not an issue that is unique to the 380.

Well Organised The running rigging is well thought out for short handed sailing. With an electric winch for the main halyard, she’s easy to handle on your own and Lagoon have over spec’d the standing rigging on this boat. She´s a safe little mover.

2015 lagoon 380 catamaran

You Won’t Overtake a Gunboat Upwind At 55 to true, she will sail. At 45-50 degrees, the speed drops off and you will be pushed sideways.

In light to moderate winds when close hauled, set the traveler to windward a couple of feet from centre & ease the main sheet a bit. Keep the momentum up before a tack and move the boat through the wind cleanly and steadily and she won´t stall.

At the end of the day, you´ll need dagger-boards to sail well to windward and that means less space and comfort. An older Catana would probably do it. The speed will drop off if you are sitting at 50 degrees or less to apparent, and in anything under 10 knots of wind you will need the engines on unless you have a bowsprit fitted and a Code 0 or gennaker to fly.

Put the first reef in at around 18 knots depending on your angle of sail & second reef when it blows over 25.

The 380 does hobby horse, so make sure that you move the weight back on longer passages (including the main anchor, for example). In a moderate to rough sea you may notice some slamming, especially going into the weather, but no more than comparable sized cats.

Under Power

The Twin Volvos 30s (well 29s) are more than enough to power you through the chop. Cruising speed with one engine is around 5 and a half knots, using around 2.5 litres per hour. Stick the other engine on and you will hit 7 knots comfortably, with 8 knots at Full Steam Ahead.

Very Manoeuvrable And with twin engines manoeuvering a relatively small cat, you’ll start to feel like you are an old hand in the marina in no time.

The engine rooms are well deigned as well, and easy to access.

Lagoon 380 Blogs

2015 lagoon 380 catamaran

Because the 380 is such a popular boat, there are quite a few good sailing blogs out there which are useful if you want to get a better feel for the catamaran.

From the Horse’s Mouth A good one is Sailing on the Sunnyside which all about a couple living the minimalist life on their 380: Sunnyside. She´s hull number 322, made in 2005.

You should also check out the blog archive of Seth from the Sailing Family. They circumnavigated on a Lagoon 380 called Honeymoon : that is worth a read.

They have now upgraded to an Outremer 51 (well, you would if you could, wouldn’t you?)

SV Straycat is another 380 blog on a 2000 Lagoon (hull # 24). There’s a great description of the boat on the blog.

Then there’s the Phase 2 Catamaran vlog. These guys are really out there enjoying themselves.

Lagoon 380 Plan

Lagoon 380 Brochure

The stand out fact about the Lagoon 380 is that they have sold so many. You get what you pay for, of course, and with the 380 you get a lot for your money. Lagoon deliver exactly what they promise. These catamarans are great value for money and are easily able to stand up to regular private use, but make sure you keep on top of that ‘job list’. But that´s the same for any boat, right?

It’s a Clever Design The Lagoon 380 is a  clever compromise on volume versus performance, and she has a very good load-carrying capacity for a boat that is less than 40 feet.

She’s a classic catamaran.

Is the Lagoon 380 still in Production? No, Lagoon stopped making the 380 in 2019. Originally, it was going to be replaced by the 39, but they stopped production on that boat as well. The smallest Lagoon cat is now the 40. You might want to check out the Excess 11 which is part of the same Group – it’s a similar sized boat, but has aft helms.

How many 380s did Lagoon produce? They made around 1000. It is one of their top selling models behind the 42.

How much does a Lagoon 380 cost? There are plenty on the second hand market, but good examples hold their price and they remain popular. You can pick one up from €120,000 to €200,000 on the second hand market, we´d say you need to spend from 150-180k for a decent, well looked after boat. There are a lot of ex charter boats out there on the market – that’s fine, but they might need some money spent on them.

What are the Main Differences Between a Lagoon 380 and a Lagoon 380 S2? The shower bulkhead was moved forward in the S2 to create a bigger shower/head. Larger windows were used in the hulls and a sliding privacy door was installed in the owner’s hull. They improved the galley and remolded the helm station. These were all minor changes, more of a marketing update if anything, and many prospective buyers prefer the older boats which have more storage, better quality interior finishes and easier access to the engines. The first 380 S2 launched in 2003.

Lagoon 380 S2 Catamaran Review – Fooling the Eye!

Lagoon 380 S2

The Lagoon 380 S2 is a remodeled version of the original 380 design. I always find it interesting to explore new designs of older models and pick out the differences between the yachts.

The 380S2 had many differences, but it was also a boat that can stand on its own. In comparison to other yachts, the 380S2 could be considered small, but that depends on the sailor and what they think is small.

I found the S2 comfortable without a lot of wasted space, which is a change in many Lagoon catamarans.

Table of Contents

Accommodation

I have never felt that just because a boat has a lot of space, that it is a better design than other boats. I found the 380 S2 comfortable but compact and cozy.

The galley and saloon have plenty of room to prepare meals and dine as a group without climbing over each other, and the cabins are equipped with beds that you can stretch out on and there is a good amount of storage space throughout the vessel.

Under Sail 

Under sail, the 380 S2 does a fantastic job windward but tends to struggle in other conditions. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you are simply cruising around.

I enjoyed the slower pace and didn’t feel the need to speed it up unless we had to anyway. If you are looking for something more powerful, look at a bigger cat, but if power isn’t a concern, try the 380 S2.

I do feel I need to warn potential sailors that the 380 S2 has a flybridge design that is a bit high, which is not everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I don’t have any issues with a high flybridge, but if you are sure a flybridge isn’t for you, move on to the next cat .

The interior of the 380 S2 is attractive and serviceable. There are touches of color here and there to please the eye, but I don’t really mind the interior design as long as it isn’t boring.

I thoroughly enjoyed the saloon booth and could sit for hours reading or chatting with my passengers. The below deck is a welcoming environment that puts everyone at ease and invites conversation.

The 380 S2 fools the eye by appearing to be a very small vessel from the exterior, but the boat is, in fact, bigger than you would guess.

There is plenty of room for all passengers to lounge around and spend time together, but this space is at the expense of the cockpit.

The cockpit on the 380 S2 is small, and I found it cramped. The good thing about it is that the cockpit was the only place on the boat I felt was lacking in space, but it was still a little unpleasant.

Comparisons with 380

The greatest differences between the original Lagoon 380 and the 380 S2 seem to be mostly cosmetic.

Both vessels are very similar, right down to their faults. If pressed, I would choose the 380 S2 because the design is more modern and the boat itself is an updated design, but overall, they are not drastically different.

Why Sail the Lagoon S2

  • Though it looks small, there is a good amount of space on board
  • Performs well in windward conditions
  • Safe and stable even in poor weather
  • Comfortable accommodations for yourself and your passengers

In Conclusion

I enjoyed my trip out on the 380 S2 and would recommend the boat to anyone wanting a small boat with just the right amount of space. Yes, there are a few issues with the 380 S2, but they are mostly based on the personal preferences of the sailor.

If it wasn’t for my gripe with the cockpit, I would say that the 380 S2 is the total package! The cockpit can be overlooked in light of all the other positives the 380 S2 has to offer. I’d charter a 380 S2 again in a heartbeat, and you should, too!

That seems like a lot of fun, especially if you want to get the family together and go out and enjoy the water and the sun. It will definitely make a lot of good memories. Are you able to sail around the world in one or just a local area.

Best Wishes

Yes , of course you can sail with this yacht around world, but I would suggest you to sail with a new one:)

Thank you for the comment and wish you the best

I had no idea how beautiful the Lagoon 380 S2 Catamaran is on the inside. I think it would be so fun to sail away on a long and relaxing cruise. Your pictures on your website are absolutely gorgeous. I’ve never gone on a cruise of any kind, but this looks like it would be so much fun to do.

Isn’t? Yes you right , a sailing vacation a board a catamaran is something not to miss out 🙂

You can relax and sun bath on the net, jump into the water, do some diving ,fishing, kayak, etc.. There are enough spaces to store the equipment on a catamaran.

Thank you for the comment and have a beautiful day!

What sort of sailing skills and abilities make a catamaran easier or more difficult than a regular simple boat charter? I’m not a sailor but want to get into. What areas do you recommend for chartering? I’m looking to plan a vacay soon and would appreciate any ideas. This option you’ve recommended does look excellent.

There is a lot to say about catamarans:) I’ve written a nice article about this subject. A catamaran is spacious, and comfortable due to its two hulls, thus making it easier to control the boat.

Catamarans are popular everywhere, especially in the BVI and the Caribbean due to the number of coral reefs and shallow waters. The Catamaran has also shallow draft, which allows you to anchor near the shoreline. Like many sailors I am in love with catamarans:)

If you are interested to become a sailor, I would suggest you have a nice sailing getaway first to see if you like it and if you do, then you can take some sailing courses while being on a sailing vacation:)

I hope it helped and if you need any to know further information, feel free to contact me, I’ll be more than happy to hear from you!

Thank you for the comment and I wish you all the best

I had no idea you could rent those for vacations, what a great idea. And there is surprisingly a lot more room that what you would think. I can’t believe there is actually 2 bathrooms on there!!!! Personally I am scared of the ocean, but I suppose if we were to stay close to a shoreline I could handle it!

I was also scared of the ocean when I started and today I am able to sail long distances. How did I do? I was staying really close to the beach and slowly I’ve moved away from the shoreline and believe it, I didn’t even realize how far I was and how great it was!

I would suggest you this technique:)

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

Sounds like a fun time to me 🙂 Loved the review and for a family or a couple, the Lagoon 380 s2 catamaran would be perfect. What a great European vacation. That is a great price for a seven day trip too. The problem with water tanks seems to be easily fixed.

Great to see you again:))

Yes, the price is very attractive for a Lagoon catamaran. It’s a great boat! If you hire a skipper you won’t need to deal with this small point.

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

I’ve never been on a catamaran before, but the pictures make it look fabulous. I can see why they are so luxurious. I plan on going traveling next year, and who knows, maybe I’ll be lucky enough to meet someone who has one and would be willing to take me on a quick ride. I’m kinda shy, so I’m going to have to really get out of my comfort zone., because I’ll be traveling alone. But this would sure be a cool way to sail the seas.

If you are interested in sailing for free, there are forums like Crewbay, Sailing Networks where you can find boat’s owners who look for people to exchange services. This could be a wonderful way to travel and make new friends!

I hope it helped:)

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

Seller's Description

More info and video walkthrough coming soon!

2015 Lagoon 380 Wild Rice is located in Croatia. The owners began to outfit her for long-term cruising, but their plans changed and they’ll have to return to dry land for the next few years. The opportunity is yours to take stewardship of one of the best-kept examples of a 380 on the market today. Wild Rice spent her first couple of years as a charter cat, managed by a certified Volvo Penta service center, which is also an official Lagoon Catamaran dealer and service center. She has been maintained incredibly well since new, and her most recent owners, a family of three, took stewardship a year ago and turned her into a comfortable cruising home and (remote) office. Wild Rice is an incredibly clean example of a 380 with the condition of gel-coat more commonly found on a 2018 or 2019 boat. I often use Wild Rice as an example for clients to demonstrate how nice a Lagoon catamaran can be. She is a four cabin, two head version, with an additional 2 compartments for crew at the bow (which also serves as generous storage space). She’s equipped with upgraded Volvo Penta engines (that sound and look like new), hardtop, solar, and Webasto heating system in each pontoon. Her owners have recently had the engines services by a certified Volvo Penta Service center (less than 100 hours ago), applied International Micron 350 antifoul (August 2021). Additionally, they’ve added a Rocna 33kg anchor, AMEC Widelink B600 Class B AIS transponder, Pepwave MAX Transit Category 18 LTE Router, Navionics 2021 Maps Update, Voltage Rectifier, Main Power safety breaker, Magma BBQ, liferaft, and more. The Lagoon 380 is the world’s most sought after small cruising cat. Very forgiving, stable, and easy to mange single-handedly; it’s easy to recognize their popularity after a day on the water with one. If you’re interested in buying one of the most looked after 380’s on the market, look no further. Engine hours:

- PORT: 3270
-STARBOARD: 3270

Recent upgrades included AIS, 33kg Rocna anchor, safety main electricity breaker, voltage rectifier, peplink wifi router, antifouling done last month, last engine service by certified Volvo Penta mechanic 100 hours ago.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

2015 lagoon 380 catamaran

Jump to Lagoon 380 Catamarans For Sale

The Lagoon 380 is known as the most successful cruising catamaran model. Introduced in 2000,  it was built to be a workhouse for the charter industry and an entry level-cruiser. It is a great entry level cruising catamaran that sails better than many other cats and provides lots of living space for the money.

Despite the small size the Lagoon 380 combines spacious accommodations normally reserved for much larger catamarans while still retaining decent performance. Charter versions of the Lagoon 380 have four staterooms and two heads. Owner versions have a master suite in the starboard hull that has a spacious bathroom with shower and head, in addition to a small office space.

In 2004 the Lagoon 380 was reintroduced with some fantastic changes. After hull No. 300 it would be called the Lagoon 380S2. There have been 17 improvements including large hull side windows that allow for more natural light, a sliding door that isolates the owners cabin giving total privacy from the rest of the guests and there is better refrigeration and counter space in the galley.

S/V Misha is a 2000 Lagoon 380 catamaran, for sale by owner. Misha is hull number 15, which if you check the reviews, was better built than later models.

This catamaran has had only 2 owners, NEVER chartered, and is in excellent condition. Only 700 hours on the engines. Custom interior upholstery and curtains. A joy to sail, super easy and fun. The reason for the low engine hours is due to the fact that the original owner lived in Arizona and only used the catamaran in the summer on the San Francisco Bay. This boat has been babied from day one.
