Buy a pre-owned catamaran

Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Sunreef, Bali, Outremer — the used catamaran market is deep but uneven. Rigorous sourcing is non-negotiable.

01

Yards to target

Lagoon (50/52/55), Fountaine Pajot (Saona, Samana, Aura, Power 67), Sunreef (60/70 Eco), Bali (accessible premium), Outremer (performance).

02

The ex-charter trap

Many used cats come out of charter fleets (BVI, Caribbean). Intensive wear, major refit often needed. Hard survey is mandatory.

03

Our method

Global sourcing (Caribbean, Med, Asia), photo and history pre-screening, independent survey, post-survey negotiation, delivery under sail or cargo.

FAQ

Budget for a used Lagoon 50?+

Year and condition dependent: €600k (2018 ex-charter) to €1.1M (2022 private, equipped). A full ex-charter refit easily adds €150-250k to plan.

Lagoon or Fountaine Pajot?+

Lagoon: more volume, more units on the secondary market. Fountaine Pajot: slightly finer sailing, equivalent finish, rarer market.

Do I need a buyer's broker?+

Yes. Most listings are held by listing brokers under exclusive mandate. Without a buyer-side broker, negotiation and survey are biased.

Acquisition timeline?+

Sourcing 1-3 months, survey + sea-trial 2-3 weeks, closing 4-6 weeks. Expect 3-5 months from brief to delivery.
