LAGOON SEVENTY 8: The yacht of tomorrow is already under way…

test

The design of the SEVENTY 8 allows an optimized passage through the water to achieve a good average speed in the greatest comfort. Her semi-planing hulls give a very advantageous speed/fuel consumption ratio.

The exterior design shows a strong affiliation with the rest of the range. Its fluid form provides elegance and the door / balcony of the owner's cabin provides private access to the water and invites you to escape

The flybridge is ripe for conversion. A jacuzzi can be fitted, but also sun-loungers, a large table and another sofa can be selected from the catalog

The aft cockpit and saloon. Multiple living areas, which allow for a party or in contrast, an intimate space, are skillfully arranged within the boat

The owner’s suite occupies an area of 25 m² in the starboard hull. The door opens onto the anchorage and offers an incredible terrace to enjoy the surroundings. In this suite you’ll also find a large dressing room, a desk and a real bathroom. It’s

The guest cabins are also very spacious with the bed athwartships and at a particularly good height! They can all be equipped with television, stereo, and have a toilet separate from the bathroom

The galley has direct access to the cockpit and very discreet access for the crew. The crew cabin is adjacent and is very comfortable for use over long periods

The forward cockpit is accessible from the saloon by a forward door. A removable deck with teak covering allows for organizing sizable receptions

The central helm station on the flybridge is very well-equipped. On each side is a joystick that allows you to perform the necessary maneuvers with all the required visibility

The 70 m² saloon has several living areas. There is all-round visibility even when you are comfortably installed on the sofas. The décor is customizable with a 96-page options catalog

The forward saloon allows you to be alone should you wish. It leads directly to the owner’s cabin below, but also onto the forward cockpit thanks to a reinforced door

With seven examples sold in just a year, the Lagoon SEVENTY 8 is affirming the caliber of her origins, which we’ve already seen with her sailboat "baby" brother, the SEVENTY 7. A very upscale finish characterizes this model which is setting the standards in big-boat leisure.

Discovering the SEVENTY 8, you’d think the first impression would be that you’re boarding a boat you know, in this case the Lagoon SEVENTY 7, but just one with the mast unstepped. But as soon as you get aboard, you discover a very different high-end unit. First off, the traditional trampoline found forward on the sailboat version has disappeared and is replaced by a removable deck covered with teak. The platform offers 250 m² on the main deck, with fore and aft cockpits, 15 and 35 m² respectively, and a 70 m² panoramic saloon. Add a flybridge of 35 m² and you have an area where a jacuzzi can be installed. Then in the hulls, a 20 m² galley with adjoining crew quarters, a 25 m² owner’s suite with retractable terrace (the “must-have” of this boat) and two VIP cabins at 20 m² each. In all, more than 350 m² of this boat can be used as living space, and it seems to be doing away with many of the heavy regulatory constraints, and therefore also the financial ones, associated with models over 24 m. Well played!

The decor and finish are comparable to the most prominent superyachts on the market. But that's not all. This yacht is capable of a speed of 20 knots thanks to a semi planing hu...
