A quick dockside glimpse of Lagoon's newest cruising catamaran, straight from its French debut.
Will Miller of The Multihull Company sends a brief but noteworthy dispatch from Bordeaux, France, where Lagoon has just unveiled the all-new Lagoon 38. While the video itself is little more than a first-look teaser, the moment matters: a fresh entry-level cruising catamaran from one of the most recognizable names in multihull sailing is stepping into the spotlight.
The Lagoon 38 slots in as a compact, approachable cat aimed at owner-operators and charter-minded sailors who want the space and stability of two hulls without moving up to a much larger platform. As with the rest of the current Lagoon range, buyers can expect the brand’s familiar priorities — livable volume, a bright saloon, and easy sail handling from a raised helm.
A New Model, Fresh to Market
Because the 38 is brand new, market data on the model is understandably thin. At the time of writing, there is a single active Lagoon 38 listing tracked on YachtSite, asking $593,855. That gives early shoppers a useful reference point as the model settles into the marketplace and more hulls are delivered.

Worth Watching
Bordeaux unveilings tend to set the tone for a Lagoon’s reception around the world, and the 38 arrives with the pedigree of a builder that has helped define the modern cruising catamaran. For sailors who have been eyeing the segment between the older 380 and the larger 40, this new hull deserves a closer look as more information, sea trials, and owner impressions come to light.
