Wonderful winter pick up…
Taking hand of your Lagoon for a magical Mediterranean summer sounds spectacular, however, it may actually not be the best time for you.
There is something so romantic about a French winter. You could gift yourself a new boat and change things up with a white Christmas onboard your water home.
Slots and costs
With so many like-minded adventure goers with the same exact idea as you, wanting to pick up their dream boat in summer may mean a slightly longer wait. Sometimes Lagoon delivery slots are limited and to get a hold of your yacht ASAP, winter may be your best option.
An added bonus is that you are travelling in the off season which means cheaper flights, accommodation and berthing!
Chilly is chilled
Winter is a quiet time, many clients who are wishing to travel by sea do so to avoid the rush and the crowds. Both Bordeaux and Les Sables d’Olonne are peaceful in the winter. Avoiding any unnecessary stresses, taking hand of your vessel in your own calming environment may be what you need.
Not only this but the chilly weather is just made for chilling, thinking of winter you think of wrapping up, snuggling and all the good feelings that come along with that.
Take is easy
The greatest advantage is being able to take the setup process slowly, making sure everything is perfect before setting off.
You will get to know your boat inside and out without the panic that you are “missing out” on summer in the Mediterranean.
When the time is right you can cruise down the coast and into the Med making sure you are really seeing everything.
TMG Yachts recently handed over “Sabella” and “Trim” in the European winter, to their happy new owners who were thrilled to take the setup process slowly, spending a great deal of time in France preparing their boats and then being able to take full advantage of the summer season as it rolled in.

Why The Lagoon 43 is the Best Catamaran for Liveaboard Cruising – Long
Long, a first-time catamaran owner, spent years researching before choosing the Lagoon 43 for his global sailing adventure starting in France.
“It has fully met my expectations. The size is just right for me, spacious but manageable, and very livable. After two months and over 2,000 nautical miles of sailing, I’ve been very happy with its performance. The interior layout, saloon design, semi flybridge, and included configurations perfectly suit my family’s lifestyle and the way we entertain friends on board.
If what you really want is a valuable, challenging, and rewarding life experience, then absolutely go for it. This kind of journey is absolutely worth it.”
Lagoon Catamaran Charter Boat Investment Journey – Mike
Six years after purchasing a Lagoon 40 for charter in the Whitsundays, Mike reflects on the decision that exceeded expectations.
“We approached the charter boat investment with a business mindset. We modelled everything conservatively, and honestly, it’s performed better than expected. Even through COVID, we averaged around 165 charter nights a year, and the boat held its value far better than we’d anticipated.
The Lagoon 40 hit the sweet spot, it’s the perfect size for the Whitsundays market. Less intimidating for first-timers, and a strong performer in bookings.
The boat was delivered basically ready to charter.
After six years, I’d absolutely do it all again. It’s been a positive experience from start to finish, and if we go again I’d be looking at the Lagoon 43.”

Lagoon 46 Favourite Features Real Owner Testimonial – Mike and Linda
After 2 seasons of sailing the Med on their Lagoon 46 Mike and Linda shared what they love most, “The Lagoon 46 has given us a whole new level of freedom and comfort. I love the Code Zero sail for light wind performance, and Linda’s favourite spot is the flybridge, it’s where everyone gathers when we’re sailing. With a watermaker and generator on board, we’ve been able to explore more remote places and stay cool during the heatwaves in Greece. It’s made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable.”
