The 47 replaces the 46 and shows where Lagoon is taking the middle of the range: a touch more length and displacement, a furling mainsail as standard, and a reworked interior. It is the newest boat in the line, which means real-world reports are still thin — we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.

The 47 is drawn by VPLP, with exterior styling by Patrick le Quément and interiors by Nauta Design. It sits above the 46 Iconic and is read across the trade as that boat’s successor, though Lagoon’s own pages do not say so and both models remain listed. The substantive change is a door from the saloon straight into a twelve-square-metre forward cockpit, so the bow becomes somewhere you sit rather than somewhere you reach along the side deck. A furling mainsail is standard rather than optional, which tells you who the boat is drawn for.

Real-world detail is thin and it is worth being straight about that. The world premiere is set for the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026, so there is no independent sea trial and no owner experience to draw on yet. What the published numbers imply is a familiar brief: 18 tonnes light, 128m² upwind and twin 57hp diesels — a boat set up to be left alone on a long reach rather than worked hard. The smart room points at liveaboards and long-stay owners as much as at charter. We would rather wait for Cannes than make performance claims we cannot stand behind.
