Expert Yacht Broker Gary Fretz Shows Us Why The Lagoon 440 Is The Best Cruising Catamaran In The World

Gary Fretz is showing a 2005 Lagoon 440 (3 stateroom version) named FORCYNTHIA in Ft Lauderdale. This is one of the best designs available now and makes a great live-aboard for couples and small families. Fully equipped with generator, solar panels, air-conditioning and more, it is like having a mobile 3-bedroom condo.   The most distinguishing feature on this catamaran is the cabin top that extends forward, past the saloon, to shade a forward-facing cockpit located just aft of the trampoline on the bow. While we were motoring north from Miami to Fort Lauderdale one evening last winter,after the boat show, this cockpit was the place to be as the sun set. The view was tremendous and the breeze refreshing as we skipped along with a crowd aboard at a little better than 6 knots at 2,600 rpm. Throttling up to 3,200 rpm, we added another half a knot. Two 29-horsepower Yanmar diesels are mounted facing backward, well aft in each hull, with saildrives forward of them; under way, this reduces noise levels in the aft cabins.Catamarans make the best cruisers because they offer more space than mono hulls.
