2002 Lagoon 43 PC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam gives this 43-footer the stance of a much larger yacht. The aft cockpit flows naturally into the saloon, so everyone stays connected underway or at anchor. High, secure side decks and stout handholds make moving forward safe even when the chop builds. At the helm, sightlines are excellent, with throttles and engine gauges placed where you can actually use them in sloppy conditions. Storage is generous throughout, with deep lockers for cruising gear, toys, and provisions. Sound-insulated engine rooms are easily accessed for daily checks without tearing the boat apart, and the swim platforms sit just right for boarding the tender, diving, or landing a big fish without drama.

This power cat really shines in warm, shallow cruising grounds where long distances and skinny water often go hand in hand. The efficient twin-hull design lets you cover serious miles between islands or anchorages without constantly hunting for fuel docks. When afternoon breezes kick up a short, steep chop, the tunnel hulls soften the ride and keep drinks on the table. With plenty of deck space and a stable platform at rest, it’s ideal for snorkeling stops, beach runs, and lazy days on the hook. Good ventilation, shade in the cockpit, and easy dinghy access make everyday life aboard comfortable in this sun-soaked region.
