Used Lagoon Catamarans - Expert-Inspected Selection by Sailoe

Sailoe offers a selection of expert-inspected used Lagoon catamarans, drawn from its own charter fleet. As exclusive Lagoon dealer in Brittany and Corsica, our technical team inspects every boat before it goes on sale: hull, engines, rigging, electronics. The buyer can count on advice and support from purchase to resale.

Why buy a used Lagoon from an exclusive dealer?

An official Lagoon dealer knows every model down to the finest detail: maintenance history, points to watch by model year, real options versus catalogue options.

At Sailoe, exclusive Lagoon dealer in Brittany and Corsica, the used boats put up for sale come largely from our own charter fleet. Each Lagoon has sailed under our direct supervision, maintained by our technical teams at our bases (Brittany, Seychelles, Caribbean). The history is reconstructed, documented and handed over. No middleman, no unknowns: you know exactly what you are buying. This is a fundamental difference from buying from a private seller or a general marketplace, where the technical history remains opaque.

How does Sailoe assess each catamaran before putting it up for sale?

Every used Lagoon put up for sale by Sailoe is inspected by our technical team before any listing.

This inspection covers the critical areas of an offshore catamaran:

The main checkpoints

Our inspection covers:

1. Hull bottom - watertightness, osmosis, condition of the keels
2. Hulls - structural integrity, mast bolts, through-hull fittings
3. Engines - hours, oil changes, condition of connecting rods, impellers
4. Transmission and propulsion - propellers, shafts, seals
5. Running rigging - halyards, sheets, winches, jammers
6. Standing rigging - turnbuckles, stays, spreaders
7. Sails - mainsail, genoa, condition of battens and reinforcements
8. Navigation electronics - VHF, autopilot, AIS, GPS, depth sounder
9. Onboard electrics - batteries, solar panels, wiring
10. Safety equipment - liferafts, harnesses, EPIRB, fire extinguishers (service dates)
11. Auxiliary power - generator, windlass
12. Interior and comfort equipment - galley, heads, berths, ventilation

At the end of the inspection, our team shares its observations with the buyer: condition, work carried out, points to watch. You can also commission an independent marine surveyor if you would like external validation.

How does Sailoe support you after the purchase?

Sailoe assists you with the administrative procedures: bills of sale, registration under the French flag, registration, removal from a previous flag if the boat comes from a foreign fleet. We also arrange delivery of the boat to the base of your choice, and offer a technical handover on board on the day the keys are handed over. For those considering a future resale, our knowledge of the Lagoon market lets you anticipate the resale value at 5 or 10 years. Lagoons hold their value well: between 75 and 82% of their original price after 5 years.

Which used Lagoon models are available right now?

Sailoe permanently offers around twenty used Lagoons, mainly Lagoon 380, 40, 42 and 450 - models with 4 to 8 cabins suited to offshore cruising.

The selection changes with fleet rotations and new acquisitions. The most sought-after models are the Lagoon 42 (versatility and living space) and the Lagoon 380 (value for money on the 2010-2018 model years). The Lagoon 450 and 500 represent the top of our used stock, prized for circumnavigation projects or long-term cruising. You can sign up to our stock alert to be notified first as soon as a model matching your search becomes available.

What budget should you plan for a used Lagoon catamaran?

The price of a used Lagoon ranges from 150,000 EUR to more than 550,000 EUR depending on the model and the year, with average depreciation of 18 to 25% over 5 years for Lagoons.

These ranges are indicative and vary with the condition, equipment and history of the boat - based on observation of the used market. If you are planning financing, several institutions specialising in marine credit offer solutions over 10 to 15 years for this type of acquisition. We can point you towards our usual partners. As for an independent survey, its cost is generally between 1,200 EUR and 2,500 EUR excluding haul-out - a worthwhile investment before any significant purchase, even with a trusted dealer.

How does buying a used Lagoon with Sailoe work?

From the first contact to delivery of the boat, Sailoe supports the buyer at every step: viewing, negotiation, administrative procedures and handover.

Our process in 4 steps:

1. Defining the project - A Sailoe advisor talks with you about your needs: sailing area, number of cabins, budget, use (family cruising, circumnavigation, charter investment). We present the models matching your project from our current stock and alert you as soon as a relevant boat becomes available.

2. Viewing and sea trial - You view the boat at our base, accompanied by a member of our technical team. If you wish, a sea trial can be arranged. You have access to the complete inspection file and may commission an independent marine surveyor (between 1,200 EUR and 2,500 EUR excluding haul-out) for additional validation.

3. Sale agreement and administrative procedures - Once the agreement is reached, Sailoe handles the drafting of the bill of sale, the formalities of registration under the French flag, registration and removal from the previous flag if necessary.

4. Delivery and handover - Handover of the keys at the base of your choice. Our technical team accompanies you on board to take in hand the equipment: autopilot, navigation electronics, engine management, sails. You leave with a boat you have mastered.

Frequently asked questions about buying a used Lagoon

What is the difference between buying from a dealer and from a private seller?

An exclusive dealer like Sailoe offers a documented maintenance history and a structured inspection by its technical team. With a private seller, the history is often partial and the maintenance data rarely tracked. For a purchase between 150,000 EUR and 550,000 EUR, the difference in security is significant. The cost of an independent survey (1,200 EUR to 2,500 EUR) remains worthwhile in both cases.

Should an ex-charter catamaran be avoided?

No, provided that the maintenance has been carried out by an in-house technical team. Sailoe boats come from our own charter fleet, maintained by our technicians at each base. The number of sailing hours is high, but each boat has been kept up to standard according to our operational standards. A poorly maintained ex-charter, on the other hand, can cause problems: that is why traceability of maintenance is the number 1 criterion to check, whoever the seller.

Should you commission an independent marine surveyor even with a dealer?

This is a step we recommend for any significant purchase. Sailoe shares its inspection findings with the buyer, but an independent marine surveyor brings an external view and commits their own professional liability. Their intervention costs between 1,200 EUR and 2,500 EUR excluding haul-out. We never object to it, on the contrary, it reinforces mutual trust.

Which Lagoon models are the most sought-after used?

The Lagoon 42 is the most sought-after model on the used market, for its versatility (4 to 6 cabins, generous cockpit, cruising performance). The Lagoon 380 is the solid entry-level option for budgets between 150,000 EUR and 250,000 EUR. The Lagoon 450 attracts buyers looking for maximum living space and offshore range. The Lagoon range benefits from a stable resale value, with 75 to 82% of the original value retained at 5 years.

Is it possible to finance the purchase of a used catamaran?

Yes. Institutions specialising in marine credit offer financing solutions over 10 to 15 years for used catamarans. Sailoe can point you towards its usual financial partners. Some buyers combine a personal contribution with credit; others place the boat in a managed charter programme to generate rental income. Our team can present both approaches based on your situation.
