PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT

Built for offshore cruising, the Lagoon 55 Heritage stands out for its stability, generous volumes and well-balanced sea behaviour.

Its architecture delivers bright, open living spaces while ensuring smooth, confidence-inspiring sailing at all times.

AN ICON OF THE LAGOON HERITAGE

Produced between 1987 and 1997 in only 20 examples, the Lagoon 55 Heritage is now regarded as one of the most iconic models in the brand's history.

Its forward-thinking design and innovative engineering helped raise the standards of the modern cruising catamaran.

INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION

The Lagoon 55 Heritage also marked a milestone in the brand's construction methods.

Driven by the model's success, the yard developed true female hull and pod moulds — a major technical advance for the time that significantly improved the precision and quality of Lagoon catamaran production.

EXTERIOR

Generous aft cockpit open to the sea, designed as a true terrace on the water.
