A Spectacular Lagoon Showcase at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival
September 30, 2024
As the sun sets over the French Riviera, the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 kicks off with Lagoon’s impressive fleet of catamarans taking center stage at Port Canto. Held from September 10 to 15, the festival is the ultimate gathering of the yachting world, and Lagoon once again proves why it remains a titan of innovation and luxury on the water. This year’s display is not just about elegance and design—it’s about the future of sailing catamarans. And for the Philippine boating community, these Lagoon models represent the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and cutting-edge technology.
Lagoon 43: A World Premiere That Redefines Compact Luxury
One of the festival’s most anticipated unveilings was the brand-new Lagoon 43, making its world premiere in Cannes. This sleek, compact and versatile catamaran is designed for those who want to embrace life at sea without compromising comfort or flexibility. Its hallmark feature? The ability to effortlessly transform spaces, with seamless integration between the indoor saloon and outdoor cockpit areas. Whether you’re hosting a sunset dinner for 12 or lounging with family on a weekend getaway, the Lagoon 43 adapts to your every need.
For boaters in the Philippines, the Lagoon 43 brings a fresh perspective on compact cruising. With its additional aft entryways for each hull, moving between the dock and boat is a breeze—a feature that is especially practical for our local marinas. Inside, the spacious cabins with enlarged berths redefine what’s possible in this size range. The owner’s cabin, complete with a forward berth and en suite, rivals the layout found in much larger yachts. It’s a true game-changer in its category.
Lagoon 60: The Perfect Balance of Space and Sophistication
For those seeking the ultimate in freedom and luxury on the water, the Lagoon 60 is a masterclass in yacht design. Officially unveiled earlier this year in a private event, the Lagoon 60 made its grand public debut at Cannes, captivating festival attendees with its expansive outdoor living spaces and sleek, modern aesthetic.
The Lagoon 60’s aft cockpit, open to the sea, offers an unparalleled sense of freedom, with wide terraces providing easy access to the water for swimming and diving. Whether cruising through the islands of Palawan or enjoying a leisurely day anchored at Tubbataha Reefs, the Lagoon 60 is designed for relaxed, carefree living. Inside, the saloon connects both the forward and aft cockpits, creating a spacious, light-filled hub perfect for entertaining. With options for a galley or a bar, and vertical windows flooding the area with natural light, life aboard the Lagoon 60 is nothing short of a dream.
The Crown Jewel: Introducing the EIGHTY 2
The pièce de résistance of Lagoon’s display this year is undoubtedly the announcement of their new flagship, the EIGHTY 2. This catamaran represents the pinnacle of Lagoon’s design prowess—an awe-inspiring vessel that pushes the boundaries of luxury and performance.
Although details are still under wraps, what we do know is that the EIGHTY 2 promises to set a new standard for flagship catamarans. With even more expansive living spaces, cutting-edge technology, and Lagoon’s signature style, this model is poised to become a top choice for yacht enthusiasts worldwide. It’s a bold statement from Lagoon, and we can’t wait to see how the EIGHTY 2 will elevate the experience of yachting in the Philippines and beyond.
A Strong Fleet Presence
Alongside the world premieres of the Lagoon 43 and Lagoon 60, visitors at the Cannes Yachting Festival had the chance to explore a selection of Lagoon’s most iconic models. The Lagoon 46, Lagoon 51, Lagoon 55, SIXTY 5, and SEVENTY 7 were all on display, showcasing the brand’s renowned commitment to luxury, innovation, and performance.

Lagoon’s display at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 was nothing short of spectacular, and the future looks incredibly bright for the brand’s presence in the Philippines.
