Lagoon was created in 1984 as an extension of the racing division of the French boat builder, Jeanneau, and was set up specifically to build highly capable offshore racing boats which won an unequalled string of victories.

In 1987, the first non-racing catamaran was launched - the Lagoon 55 - a luxury catamaran built using the same high tech methods as the racing yachts.

The launch of the Lagoon 55 and its very positive reception led to further requests for cruising catamarans, thus setting Lagoon on the path to becoming the leading catamaran builder.

Today, Lagoon is part of CNB, the custom yacht division of the Bénéteau Group, the world's largest recreational boat builder.
