About FRENCHWEST
FRENCHWEST is a 2020 Lagoon Seventy 8 power catamaran that surprises with the richness of her volumes: 130 m² of living space flows as one coherent whole, and an exceptional deck area multiplies the places to relax and the ways to reach the sea. She is based in St Martin and cruises the Leeward and Windward Islands.
The 35 m² owner’s space is an elegant, independent apartment with a king bed, separate toilet, TV and a private 4 m² beach that opens in the hull. Two double cabins and a convertible twin complete the accommodation, all with their own showers and air-conditioning.
Husband-and-wife team Christophe and Aurélie Lagalle Soucasse, with 25 years in yachting, cook Mediterranean cuisine focused on fish and seasonal vegetables, while Anwar Hamzaoui looks after deck and service.

Lagoon 52 F | 2018
Antigua & Barbuda, BVI, Caribbean
The Lagoon 52 F, the latest model developed by the world's leading builder of cruising catamarans, marks a whole new era in the design of such boats, as indeed did its predecessor, the famed Lagoon 500. With its diamond-shaped vertical bows, beveled hulls, its as if levitated deckhouse and tall rig, the Lagoon 52 is no ordinary catamaran, but its originality goes a great deal further than just its "outer" appearance, or even its interior layout.
