THE HISTORY OF THE BRANDLAGOON - A STORY BASED ON INNOVATION

1984

The creation of Lagoon, which was originally the direct extension of JTA (Jeanneau Technologies Avancées), Jeanneau's "competition" department (Pierre Ier, Fleury Michon, etc).
Lagoon also answered to unusual requests, such as the construction of the trimarans for the film Waterworld.

1987-1996

A first generation of catamarans was born with the Lagoon 55, 47, 57 and 67: owners' boats for offshore cruising.
The Beneteau group took over the Jeanneau shipyards in 1996 and handed over the development of the Lagoon brand, a legacy of its acquisition, to Construction Navale Bordeaux. The use of high-tech composite was implemented in the shipyard.

1997 – 2003

Lagoon established its identity, building more and more spacious and comfortable boats, while enhancing construction methods. During that period, the Lagoon models 380, 410, 440, 470, 500, and 570 were launched.

1997

The Lagoon 410, the first catamaran of this generation, innovates the market with her vertical glazing. This type of design was to be followed by all large multihull shipyards.

1998

Lagoon POWER - The first foray of Lagoon into the world of Motor Boats with the arrival of the Lagoon Power 43 - 113 units produced. A record in the world of multihull motor boats.

2009

Lagoon launched the Lagoon 620: luxurious, seaworthy and fast, the Lagoon 620 was then the archetype of "large" contemporary Lagoon boats... With than 60 units launched, she was also the world champion in her category.

2010

Lagoon 450 marked the first partnership between Lagoon and Nauta Design: a new dimension in design and interior comfort.
