Cat’Leya is well known to the Multihulls World community, as we’ve followed this Lagoon 52’s round-the-world voyage through our Postcards and Cruising sections. We’ve got to say that for having been cruising for nine years, this catamaran has aged extremely well.
Tested in MW130 - Second-hand test in MW189
The backstory: Late 2012, Lagoon went all out by presenting two models with the rig stepped far aft on the coachroof: the 39 and the 52. The larger of the two understandably featured more harmonious lines thanks to a better integrated superstructure. As for the “diamond” shape bows at the stemhead, they offered a welcome sporty touch...
The Lagoon 52 was available in a SporTop version (without flybridge) from 2016, and this is the version we’re presenting here, but one with a customized layout – Owner’s version + additional crew cabin.
