It all started with a wacky idea from Lagoon departments’ brainstorming: how could the whole Lagoon family celebrate the turquoise brand’s 40th anniversary together?

With over 7,000 sailing catamarans built, in a range of models from 40 to 78ft, Lagoon–owner events have built up loyal communities the world over.

The idea of Lagoon World Escapade was born. It comprised of three days of sailing, sharing and festivities around the world – 30 Escapades in all – made possible with the help and enthusiasm of Lagoon’s worldwide distribution network to pay tribute to the brand that launched in 1984.

Over 400 boats – representing all models, from the smallest to the largest Lagoon yachts – and 2,400 participants gathered to celebrate Lagoon’s anniversary in 30 destinations. Some Escapades, such as the one organized in Turkey, celebrated with as many as 40 catamarans.

Day and night, the event’s worldwide Whatsapp group continued to record magnificent images of catamarans in dreamy landscapes, happy crews in rallies, moments of celebration and conviviality – around turquoise cocktails, awards ceremonies, and seaside activities – as well as magical moments of contemplation of the flora and fauna that owners favour in their respective locales.
