On Sunday, February 16, 2025, we visited the Miami boat show. We wanted to tour the new Lagoon 43 sailboat, which is supposed to be the upgrade to our boat. We liked the boat and its various upgrades/improvements, but in the end preferred our model, the Lagoon 42. One of the biggest reasons that we preferred the 42 to the 43 was that the 42 has a place to sleep inside the indoor salon area for when we are on passage. While we mostly sailed during the day, from island to island in the Caribbean, there were a couple of passages that required us to travel overnight. Sleeping below would not be comfortable. In addition, sleeping above allows quick reaction times if the person manning the helm needs help. The 43 appears to be more like a party catamaran for a larger number of people. It would be great for sailing in the BVIs, for example.
