Wonder has been the ultimate cruising boat for our family. We have loved the overall layout and the many benefits of the Lagoon 450F. She sails beautifully - we’re often the faster boat even though we’re quite heavy, and we’ve got huge fuel tanks that really offer a lot of peace of mind on long passages. There’s great visibility from the fly bridge compared to most catamarans, making it much easier to go through areas with coral bommies, dock, raft up, or catch mooring balls. There are a lot of seating areas (bow, flybridge, cockpit, salon) we can hang out at to either have quiet time or host friends. We’re often a boat that hosts as we’ve got more space than many (but don’t worry, cruisers always bring snacks and drinks!). We’ve also enjoyed having a lot of extended visits by family and friends - the spare room has been wonderful for both that as well as storage when it’s just the four of us. This boat is very well ventilated. While the air conditioning works perfectly, we find we almost never want to use it as the hatches are designed to create great airflow throughout. And the modifications we’ve made since we have been moved aboard have been outstanding. Between the batteries and the solar, we usually have plenty of power, rarely running the generator for most of the year, even though we are a ‘power hungry boat’ with lots of amenities. And those amenities can be either 220V or 110V. The bigger anchor and lots of chain always holds fast. The larger watermaker has never failed. The ample storage space and our various storage additions (tie downs for tool bins in the engine lockers, spice rack, hammocks, etc.) have meant that we can have most of the amenities from land that we are used to. We put Wonder in charter for her first 7 years, but I think the difference has been that we, the original owners, ‘helped’ the charter company the entire time to stay on top of repairs and maintenance, keeping the boat in top shape and not accepting substandard fixes. There wasn’t really anything wrong with Wonder when we moved aboard apart from a bit of wear and tear. And any lingering issues have long been worked out as the mechanical engineer onboard has maintained all parts of Wonder meticulously. Our family of four has cruised on Wonder full time for 1.5 years. We sadly need to get back to land life after our adventures. One of the hardest parts will be to leave this home, which has kept us feeling safe and brought us to explore so many new places, from the Caribbean to Fiji. We sincerely hope she continues on to do the same for her next owners.
