Owning a Lagoon Catamaran means more than just possessing a remarkable vessel; it signifies being part of an extraordinary community. This spirit of camaraderie was on full display when 20 Lagoon Catamarans gathered at Tangalooma, Moreton Island, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Lagoon Catamarans. The event, part of the Lagoon World Escapade, highlighted the deep connections and shared experiences that define the Lagoon community.
LAGOON WORLD ESCAPADE: A GLOBAL CELEBRATION
The Lagoon World Escapade, a global event with 25 celebrations around the world, marked a significant milestone for Lagoon Catamarans. In Australia, the event, hosted by TMG Yachts, the Australian dealer for Lagoon, saw the largest gathering ever with 20 boats and 62 enthusiastic participants. The stunning Tangalooma Island off the Brisbane coast provided the perfect backdrop for this milestone celebration.
THE HIGHLIGHTS: COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION
The first evening brought everyone together for sundowners on the resort’s highest balcony, offering breathtaking views of the fleet of Lagoon Catamarans. This was followed by a delightful banquet and a lively trivia session, fostering connections among the participants.
The second day saw the Lagoon Catamarans forming a picturesque circle before hoisting sails for a rally. The sight of the Lagoons sailing gracefully in perfect breeze conditions was a testament to their beauty and performance. Onshore, participants enjoyed a delicious lunch and engaging beach games, rounding off the day with a sparkler send-off.
