In a setting defined by the glimmer of the Côte d’Azur and the anticipation of nautical innovation, the Lagoon EIGHTY 2 made its resounding world premiere at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival. One of Europe’s most revered events for luxury boating, Cannes offers the ultimate stage for unveiling not just yachts, but the very essence of maritime aspiration—and the Lagoon EIGHTY 2 has redefined those dreams with elegance and intent.
The Epitome of Modern Catamaran Luxury
Measuring an impressive 24.97 meters in length, the Lagoon EIGHTY 2 stands at the pinnacle of contemporary yacht design. Every curve, every finish, and each thoughtful element speaks to the relentless pursuit of perfection that defines the Lagoon team—a brand renowned for pioneering luxurious liveaboard sailing catamarans.

The signature 50-square-meter flybridge invites both relaxation and grand social occasions, while the hydraulic 22-square-meter bathing platform transforms effortlessly into a stylish “beach club” on the sea.
An Event for the Nautical Connoisseur
The Lagoon EIGHTY 2 drew a remarkable crowd on its debut evening. Well-known personalities from the worlds of yachting, design, and luxury lifestyle gathered in eager anticipation.

This was more than a showcase; it was a celebration of elevated seafaring.
As dusk settled on Cannes, a classical concert under the Riviera sky provided an auditory backdrop befitting the occasion. The merging of music and maritime excellence served as a poetic testament to the Lagoon EIGHTY 2’s essence: a harmony of artistry and engineering that inspires both adventure and reverence.
