Lagoon Seventy8

When Iinitally saw the Lagoon Seventy8 at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September I was floored, or should I say, decked.

The enormous decks of this long-range cruising cat stretch across both the cockpit and bow, and along the length of the sponsons, each a huge expanse dotted with large hatches—five on the port side, seven to starboard— that provide light to the spaces below, as well as air and emergency egress. Thanks to the Seventy8’s large flybridge— with four available configurations, including one with a Jacuzzi—and a 322-square-foot bow deck, the company considers the onboard space to be comparable to a 115-foot monohull yacht.
