A recent development in catamaran design has been the
introduction of the power catamaran. After the success of the Lagoon
Power 43, launched in 2000, Lagoon delivered the Lagoon Power 44, a new
model for the 2005-2006 season.
Power catamaran Lagoon 44 quickly became one of the
most popular motor yachts in our offer. Reason for such success is very
simple. The Lagoon 44 Power catamaranhas the best of all worlds in a luxury cruising vessel. The power
cat Lagoon 44 version incorporates the best features of a motor yacht
and combines it with the traditionally good characteristics of sailing
catamarans.
Like her sailing brethren - Lagoon
440, power catamaran
Lagoon 44 offers remarkable space and accommodations. This is possible
because cats have a wider beam than a conventional single-hull motor
yacht. In many cases, our guests who come aboard a power cat LP 44 for
the first time are often startled to discover the immense salon and
cockpit areas that seem to be sized for yachts twice as large. Read more...
Privacy
The
Lagoon 44 catamaran design solve some of the layout problems associated
with a single-hull powerboat, such as cabins that are stacked next to
each other. In Lagoon 44 power cat, staterooms are well-separated in the
two hulls, thereby offering passengers a remarkable amount of privacy
that's impossible to achieve in a monohull powerboat, where cabins often
share bulkheads.
Speed,
acceleration, fuel economy, long distance range
Lagoon
Power 44's twin 310 hp Volvo diesel engines provide impressive speed of
up to 24 knots and exceptional fuel economy found only in a catamaran.
Because of the reduced drag from the slim hulls, power cats use less
fuel than similarly sized motor yacht, with the bonus of greater range
and much lower fuel cost. The slippery shape of the power cat also means
it needs smaller engines to match the speed of a monohull
powerboat. Read more...

Stability,
rough water performance and incredibly smooth ride
The
wide beam (6,42 m) of Lagoon Power 44 guarantees great stability and a
comfortable motion at sea, as well as a steadiness at anchor that rivals
solid ground. Because of the wide spacing of the hulls the stability of
a Lagoon 44 power catamaran is considerably higher than that of any
similarly sizedmonohull
vessel. Twin hull configuration and hull proportions ensure a smooth and
exceptionally stable ride - LP 44 does not roll like a monohull boat on
a rough sea and turns are flatter versus the leaning action of a
monohull.
Shallow
draft
Because
of the absence of any keel counterweight that are needed in sailing
mono-hull boats, Lagoon Power 44 has shallow draft (1,20 m). Due to the
fact that there is no keel counterweight LP 44 catamaran is also lighter
and that means LP 44 is faster than traditional
mono-hulls. The shallow
draft of the Lagoon 44 catamaran design lets you explore where many
other boats can't go.
Spectacular
flybridge
The
most stunning of Lagoon Power 44 upgrades is the enlarged fly bridge
deck. This very large fly bridge deck provides an atmosphere for casual
cruising where everybody can linger in complete comfort while they watch
the waterways pass by.Here
you will find, in addition to the three individual helm seats at the
helm station, a table designed to seat up to six people as well as
sunning pads for four individuals.
