In 2026, the market for used boat market is undergoing a period of rebalancing after several years of sharp price increases driven by post-COVID demand. Supply is abundant, prices have generally fallen by 10 to 20 percent, and buyers have greater bargaining power than in previous years.
As a dealer Lagoon for Martinique and Guadeloupe, we’ve taken a closer look at one of the brand’s most iconic models: the Lagoon 380.
Analysis of Resale Market Value: The Lagoon 380
The Lagoon 380 remains one of the most iconic catamarans on the cruising market today. Popular with both private owners and charter operators, it stands out for its strong demand on the used market and its excellent retention of value over time.
A particularly stable secondary market
An analysis of recent transactions over the past 24 months reveals a high degree of consistency in market values for recent models:
-
Lagoon 380 (2014)
Estimated new value: 255,000 €
Current market value: 175,000 € -
Lagoon 380 (2016)
Estimated new value: 270,000 €
Current market value: 181,000 € -
Lagoon 380 (2018)
Estimated new price: 285,000 €
Current market value: 190,000 €
These data show a particularly homogeneous market with a consistent gap between listed prices and actual transaction prices.
A controlled and predictable discount
One of the key findings of this analysis concerns the model's discount:
- Average discount observed: approximately 34%
- Average residual value: approximately 66% after 8 to 12 years
- Estimated average annual depreciation: between 3% and 5%, depending on the vintage
This performance is particularly strong in the marine sector, where many boats can lose more than 50% of their value over the same period.
A model driven by charter demand
The Lagoon 380 occupies a unique position:
- Ideal size for rental and charter (4 cabins)
- Simple operation and controlled costs
- Strong demand in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean
- The Lagoon line's reputation for reliability
This combination makes it a particularly sought-after product among marine investors and charter fleets, which directly contributes to its value stability.
Conclusion
The Lagoon 380 stands out as one of the most resilient catamarans in its class on the used market. With an average depreciation rate of only about 34% after nearly a decade of use, it offers a rare balance of performance, cost-effectiveness, and value retention.
This stability makes it a particularly attractive watercraft, both for private use and for commercial charter operations.
