Boat Description
S/V Elation: Premier 2016 Lagoon 52F Catamaran – Price Reduced to $629,000
As of June 20, 2025, S/V Elation is still available and now priced at $629,000 — the lowest price globally for a clean, safe, and professionally maintained Lagoon 52F. She is currently located in the stunning San Blas Islands of Panama, a top-tier cruising and charter destination known for consistent trade winds, protected anchorages, and year-round tourism demand.
Elation is already under charter contract for the full 2025 charter season through a highly respected, long-established charter management company operating in San Blas. A comparable (and older) Lagoon 52F in the same fleet generated over $300,000 USD in charter revenue in 2025 — and Elation, with newer systems, premium upgrades, and vibrant styling, is well-positioned to exceed that performance.
This vessel is ideal for both private luxury cruising and serious commercial revenue. Only ever professionally captained, crewed, and maintained, she is licensed, flagged, and ready for commercial operations in the Caribbean. She previously passed BVI government inspections in 2024 and is certified to operate in the British, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Panama. With only 6 months of charter bookings required to generate exceptional returns, the remaining months remain fully available for personal enjoyment with NO MANAGEMENT COMPANY restrictions on your personal usage (this is rare).
A substantial round of upgrades was completed in May 2025, including:
Generator fully rebuilt
Engines overhauled and fitted with brand-new turbos
Standing rigging passed certified inspection
Complete A/C system service
Bottom cleaned and hull professionally polished
Annual flag license and registration fees fully paid
Installation of over $15,000 in brand-new charter water toys for guest use starting January 2025
- Dinghy Honda outboard fully serviced May 2025.
The vessel features the sought-after 6-cabin, 6-head layout, making it perfect for hosting large families or lucrative crewed charters. The spacious saloon, sunlit interiors, and upgraded LED mood lighting (including underwater lights) create a warm and inviting atmosphere, both on anchor and underway. Amenities include multiple fridges/freezers, a high-capacity watermaker, clothes washer, icemaker, and a full suite of B&G electronics with Zeus chartplotter and autopilot.
The propulsion system includes twin Yanmar 80HP turbocharged diesel engines, currently at ~4266 hours — considered mid-life and within the expected performance window with proper care. Elation also features a Kohler 13kW generator, new house batteries, and 14 solar panels for efficient hybrid power and extended self-sufficiency. She also comes with a brand new dinghy and Honda 20HP outboard – both only a year old (relatively brand new).
With a March 2024 NAMS survey (available upon request) valuing her at $900,000, this price drop to $629,000 offers serious value. As a direct sale by owner, there are no broker commissions, and secure escrow can be opened using CatamaranSite’s trusted third-party service — making the transaction easy, transparent, and protected for both buyer and seller.
Elation is turn-key ready, currently located in paradise, under contract for profitable charters, and priced to move. She will not last long.
