A four-cabin Lagoon 39 with a 2024 electrical refit, off-grid systems, and creature comforts — ready to point at the horizon.
The 2014 Lagoon 39 S/V Cecil is presented as a genuinely turnkey cruising catamaran — a four-cabin, two-head layout that has been methodically brought up to modern off-grid standards. For buyers weighing the jump from coastal sailing to extended cruising, this boat’s story is really about the systems behind the layout.
A 2024 Electrical Refit Built for Off-Grid Life
The headline upgrade is a comprehensive 2024 electrical overhaul. Lithium batteries, bifacial solar panels, high-output alternators, and a full suite of Victron electronics work together to keep Cecil self-sufficient at anchor. Add a Northern Lights generator and a Rainman watermaker, and the boat has the redundancy cruisers actually rely on when the marinas thin out.
Comfort Onboard
Living aboard is the easy part. Three air-conditioning units keep the cabins comfortable in warm anchorages, an LG washer handles laundry, and Starlink covers connectivity for anyone working remotely or simply staying in touch. The four-cabin, two-head arrangement gives couples plenty of space and makes the boat viable for family cruising or the occasional charter guest.
Mechanical Readiness
Under the hulls, twin Yanmar engines received new sail drives in 2023, and the boat was freshly hauled in May 2024 for new bottom paint, sail drive service, and a full topside and hull detail. The rig is ICW-friendly — an important detail for U.S. East Coast cruisers — and a 2024 Highfield tender rounds out the package.

Listed by Will Miller, S/V Cecil is the kind of boat that lets a new owner focus on planning the passage rather than the punch list.
