Used Sail Catamaran for sale Lagoon 52F Vessel Summary

Boat Description

We just launched a new direct booking engine for Elation Charters, and all current photos of the vessel can be viewed there:

New price: $498,000 USD — priced for a quick sale.

Let me be very clear: Elation is in great condition. The lowered price is not a reflection of problems with the vessel. It reflects an aggressive and deeply personal family situation involving a losing fight with cancer. If not for that heartbreaking reality, we would be keeping Elation.

No trades. Financial settlement only. Business included with sale for $1. Owner motivated due to family health reasons.

S/V Elation is a 2016 Lagoon 52F, one of the most desirable catamarans in her class, with the highly sought-after 6-cabin / 6-head layout. She is offered at $498,000 USD for a fast, clean sale, and this pricing is intentionally aggressive solely because of personal family circumstances and the limited bandwidth they have created. This is a genuine opportunity for the right buyer to acquire a well-kept Lagoon 52F at a price designed to move quickly.

Again, Elation is not being discounted because she is worn out or neglected. She is in very good shape, and all of the photos on the booking website are recent. If our family circumstances were different, this boat would not be for sale at this price — and very likely would not be for sale at all.

Elation is currently based in Nanny Cay, Tortola, BVI, and is being cared for by Three Virgin Yacht Charters, who have done an excellent job keeping her maintained and ready. She is BVI-flagged under her own charter company, and the buyer has flexibility: purchase the vessel alone for private ownership, or acquire a turnkey operating setup including the business and active social media accounts. The charter business goes with the sale for $1. For a buyer who wants immediate continuity, that creates a rare plug-and-play opportunity in the BVI market.

She recently completed a crewed New Year’s charter in the BVI and generated approximately $39,000, demonstrating real-world earning capability. That makes Elation compelling not only as a private cruising or liveaboard platform, but also as a business-minded purchase with revenue potential already proven.

The 6-cabin layout is ideal for larger groups, and Elation is equipped with the comfort and utility buyers want in a modern cruising catamaran: air conditioning, multiple refrigeration, watermaker capability, onboard laundry, quality navigation electronics, and the spacious layout that has made the Lagoon 52F such a popular and enduring model.

Since October 2025, significant money has been invested in meaningful upgrades that improve safety, reliability, and buyer confidence, including: new standing rigging, new engine starters, new helm controls, fresh polish/buff/wax, new water pumps, a new hot water heater, new inverters, two new AGM batteries, a new Starlink ocean-passage router, and approximately half of the running rigging replaced. These are the kinds of upgrades that matter — the kinds that help a boat show well, survey better, and give a buyer greater confidence whether they plan to cruise privately or continue charter operations.

We welcome a professional survey and sea trial and will cooperate fully to make access easy and the process efficient. Elation is being sold as-is in a straightforward transaction at a price intended to close.

If you are looking for a Lagoon 52F with the right layout, recent meaningful upgrades, strong presentation, recent photos, and the option to acquire a turnkey charter business for $1, Elation deserves serious attention.

Serious inquiries only. Aggressively priced at $498,000 for a quick sale.
