A New Legend is Born: The Lagoon 38 Wins Multihull of the Year!

Story by TMC Editor / April 24, 2026

The results are in, and the sailing world has a new champion. We are ecstatic to announce that the all-new Lagoon 38 has officially been crowned Multihull of the Year!

Following its spectacular debut at the La Grande Motte International Multihull Show, this vessel has taken the industry by storm. Designed to succeed the iconic Lagoon 380—the best-selling catamaran in history—the new Lagoon 38 had big shoes to fill. It didn’t just meet expectations; it redefined what a compact luxury cruiser can be.


Why the Jury (and Sailors) Are Raving

The Lagoon 38 earned its title by proving that you don’t need 50 feet of boat to experience 5-star luxury and world-class performance. Here is what set the winner apart:

  • The “In & Out” Living Concept: A revolutionary sliding glass door system that disappears, seamlessly merging the saloon and cockpit into one massive, open-air living space.
  • Volume Beyond Its Size: Thanks to a clever new hull design by VPLP, the interior volume rivals boats much larger. In fact, the owner’s suite is being called a “private sanctuary” for its incredible headroom and natural light.
  • Eco-Conscious Craftsmanship: From recycled upholstery to sustainable wood sourcing, the 38 represents Lagoon’s new era of environmental commitment.
  • Effortless Handling: Designed with the short-handed cruiser in mind, all lines lead to a raised helm station, making it the perfect choice for couples or solo sailors.

We take pride in our happy customers

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.

We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.

We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.

Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.

The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.

What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.

Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.

We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.

I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
