Lagoon Catamarans Croatia – Models, Prices & Availability

When guests tell me they want a comfortable catamaran for island hopping in Croatia, Lagoon is usually the first brand they mention. Over the last decade Lagoon catamarans have become one of the most common multihulls in our charter fleets, from compact 40-footers to large family boats with five or six cabins.

On this page I will walk you through what Lagoon catamarans feel like in real life, which models you will see most often in the Adriatic, and how to choose the right Lagoon for your crew, route and budget. You can always jump straight into live availability via Search by Brand or browse similar options on the main Catamarans page.

Why Sail a Lagoon Catamaran in Croatia

Lagoon builds catamarans for people who value space and comfort as much as sailing. Wide cockpits, safe walkarounds and bright saloons work perfectly with the Croatian way of cruising: short daily legs, lazy lunches at anchor, swimming off the stern and long evenings in quiet bays or lively marinas.

Because Lagoon is so popular, you will find a large choice of models and base marinas in Croatia. That means more flexibility on dates and prices, easier matching of cabin layouts and a good supply of both bareboat and skippered or crewed options.

Lagoon Design – Space, Comfort and Easy Handling

When you step aboard a Lagoon, the first thing you notice is how much usable space there is. The cockpit and saloon connect into one level, with large windows that keep the inside bright even on cloudy days. Wide transoms make it easy to board the dinghy or help children in and out of the water.

From a skipper’s point of view, Lagoon catamarans are designed to be easy to handle in typical Adriatic conditions. Twin engines help with manoeuvring in narrow marina berths, and the rig is set up for relaxed coastal sailing rather than racing. For more experienced sailors, a Lagoon offers enough sail area to enjoy good speeds without demanding constant trimming.

Popular Lagoon Models in Croatian Fleets

The Lagoon range in Croatia covers everything from compact three-cabin boats to large five- or six-cabin multihulls. Availability changes from year to year, but you will almost always find these core models in our fleet:

• Lagoon 40 – ideal for smaller families or two couples who want a modern catamaran without going too big.
• Lagoon 42 – one of the most popular models in the Adriatic; very comfortable for 3–4 couples or a family with friends.
• Lagoon 46 – more volume, bigger cockpit and flybridge, often chosen by larger groups or guests who want extra comfort.
• Lagoon 50 & 51 – bigger platforms usually offered with professional skipper and sometimes hostess or full crew.
• Lagoon 52 / 55 and larger – high-end Lagoon catamarans often configured as luxury crewed yachts.

Each base may have a slightly different mix of Lagoon models and build years. When you send us an enquiry, we check active availability and suggest the best-kept boats with transparent pricing and equipment lists.

Where You Can Charter a Lagoon Catamaran

Lagoon catamarans are present along the whole Croatian coast. The strongest concentrations are around Split and Trogir, but you will also find good fleets in Zadar, Sibenik and Dubrovnik.

If you are planning to explore the Kornati area, we will usually look for Lagoon catamarans around Zadar or Sibenik. For Hvar, Brac and the central Dalmatian islands, Split and Trogir are the best starting points. If you dream about Mljet, Korcula and the southern route, Dubrovnik is ideal.

Lagoon Catamarans for Different Crew Types

One of the strengths of the Lagoon range is how flexible it is for different types of crews:

• Families with children – wide decks, stern platforms and safe guardrails make it easy to move around. Cabins are usually similar in size so there are fewer arguments about “who gets the big cabin”.
• Groups of friends – plenty of seating in cockpit and on the bow, good separation between cabins, and comfortable fridges for long evenings at anchor.
• Couples looking for privacy – some Lagoon configurations offer an owner’s hull with a large cabin and bathroom, plus guest cabins on the other side.
• Corporate or celebration trips – bigger models like Lagoon 50+ provide enough space for host or chef, making it easier to run a smooth, hosted week.

If you are not sure which layout works best, tell us your crew structure in the enquiry form on Get a Quote. We will send you Lagoon options that match your sleeping arrangements and comfort expectations.

Bareboat, Skippered or Crewed Lagoon Charter

Lagoon catamarans in Croatia are available in all three charter formats:

• Bareboat Lagoon charter – for skippers with the required licenses and experience. You handle navigation and manoeuvring, while we support you with route planning and local tips. More about requirements in our guide Skippers Licenses and Certificates.
• Skippered Lagoon charter – the most popular choice. A professional skipper takes care of the boat and safety, while you decide how involved you want to be. Perfect if you want to relax and still learn a bit of catamaran sailing.
• Crewed Lagoon charter – selected larger Lagoons operate as fully crewed yachts with hostess and sometimes chef. This is the closest Lagoon experience to a small boutique hotel on the sea.

Our team will always check skipper availability for your dates and suggest Lagoon boats that work well with a professional crew.

How Much Does a Lagoon Catamaran Cost?

Prices depend on model, build year, season and base marina. As a rough guide, smaller Lagoon catamarans start from the higher end of sailing yacht prices and go up into the top deals category for the newest, best-equipped boats in high season.

To understand the full budget, combine this page with our pricing guides Charter Prices, Yacht Charter Cost Croatia and Full Cost Guide. They explain what is included in the base price, which extras you should expect (skipper, fuel, transit log, marinas) and how Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) works on luxury crewed Lagoons.
