About
2020 Lagoon 46 | TUNUCA
TUNUCA is an exceptionally well-equipped Lagoon 46, thoughtfully prepared for long-range cruising, comfortable liveaboard life and offshore passagemaking. Built by Lagoon Catamarans in 2020 and currently lying in Panama, she offers the highly desirable 4-cabin, 4-head layout with additional "crew cabins" in both bows together with an impressive inventory of equipment designed to support extended cruising in complete comfort and independence.
The Lagoon 46 has become one of the world's most successful cruising catamarans, renowned for her spacious accommodation, safe and practical deck layout, excellent visibility from the flybridge helm, and impressive balance between sailing performance and onboard comfort. Whether crossing oceans, exploring remote anchorages or serving as a full-time floating home, the design has earned a reputation as one of the most versatile cruising catamarans in her class.
Unlike many vessels on the market, TUNUCA has been actively owner-operated and continually upgraded for genuine bluewater cruising rather than occasional coastal use. Her substantial 1,200Ah lithium battery bank, 1,200W solar array, Victron energy management system, Rainman watermaker, Dometic air conditioning, Onan generator and Starlink internet system provide the level of self-sufficiency sought by serious cruisers and liveaboards.
Powered by twin Yanmar 57HP diesel engines with SD60 saildrives, she is capable of comfortable passagemaking under power while retaining the excellent sailing characteristics for which the Lagoon 46 is known. Her comprehensive offshore cruising inventory includes a Highfield 340 centre-console tender with 2025 Mercury 20HP outboard, extensive spare parts inventory, safety equipment, diving equipment, fishing gear, watersports equipment and maintenance tools.
The vessel benefits from factory-reinforced structural bulkheads specified during construction and has reportedly never been grounded or suffered any structural damage. Preventative maintenance has been a priority throughout ownership, with engines and generator serviced regularly and standing rigging professionally inspected in 2026.
Offered in cruising condition and ready for immediate adventures, TUNUCA represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a proven, ocean-capable Lagoon 46 that has already received many of the upgrades and equipment additions typically undertaken by new owners at considerable expense.
BROKER'S COMMENTS
The Lagoon 46 remains one of the most successful cruising catamarans ever produced, offering an exceptional balance of sailing performance, comfort, load-carrying capability and long-term liveaboard practicality. Its innovative flybridge helm position, spacious accommodation and impressive offshore credentials have made it one of the most sought-after cruising catamarans in the 45–50ft market.
TUNUCA distinguishes herself from many comparable Lagoon 46s through a specification that has been continuously refined for serious offshore cruising and self-sufficient liveaboard use. The current owners have invested significantly in modernising the vessel's electrical and energy systems, ensuring she is exceptionally well prepared for extended cruising away from marinas and shore facilities.
Particularly noteworthy is the recently upgraded electrical system featuring a substantial 1,200Ah LiTime lithium battery bank installed in 2026, supported by a 1,200W Solarfam solar array installed in 2025 and managed through a comprehensive Victron energy system. Combined with the Rainman watermaker, Dometic 72,000 BTU air conditioning system, Onan 11kW generator and Starlink internet connectivity, TUNUCA offers the level of onboard independence increasingly sought by modern cruising sailors.
The vessel has benefitted from careful preventative maintenance. Saildrive seals were replaced in April 2025, standing rigging was professionally inspected in 2026, engines and generator are serviced regularly and, the owners report no history of grounding or structural damage. The vessel also benefits from factory-reinforced structural bulkheads specified during construction.
Her inventory is extensive and represents significant additional value. Included in the sale are a 2020 Highfield 340 centre-console tender, 2025 Mercury 20HP outboard, diving equipment, fishing gear, kitesurfing equipment, paddleboard, underwater scooter, spare anchor, comprehensive Yanmar spares inventory, Rainman watermaker spares package, spare saildrive seal kits and two spare propellers.
Unlike many brokerage vessels, TUNUCA is actively cruising and has been used exactly as intended: exploring, passagemaking and living aboard. Her owners have sailed extensively from Europe and documented their travels throughout their journey, demonstrating the vessel's capability as a genuine bluewater cruising platform.
For buyers seeking a turnkey Lagoon 46 that has already received many of the upgrades typically undertaken after purchase, TUNUCA represents an outstanding opportunity. She is fully equipped, actively maintained and ready for immediate cruising.

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
