APRES-SEA - Lagoon FOR SALE

Beautifully cared for and recently refreshed, this Lagoon 380 sailing catamaran presents in standout condition, with a fresh bottom job completed January 2026, the hull professionally polished and waxed the same month, and new saildrive seals installed in January 2026. Long admired as one of the most successful cruising catamarans ever built, the 380 is celebrated for its comfort, simplicity, speed, and safety. Apres’ Sea, an owner’s version, is set up for effortless coastal cruising and ICW adventures, slipping under bridges and skimming over shoals thanks to her shallow draft, while offering the liveaboard ease and refinement that make extended stays aboard a delight. She carries a notable suite of factory options and thoughtful upgrades, including a factory hardtop and full cockpit enclosure, upgraded Yanmar engines with folding props, reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat, solar and wind charging, a watermaker, and new salon windows, making this luxury multihull sailing yacht an inviting family cruiser and capable bluewater cruiser alike.

The interior volume is remarkable for a 38‑footer, with a bright panoramic salon that flows naturally into the cockpit, keeping everyone connected whether you’re at the helm, gathered around the varnished salon table, or relaxing on deck. The owner’s layout features three cabins with queen berths and two heads, with the entire starboard hull devoted to a private owner’s suite complete with a generously sized enclosed shower. Storage abounds with hanging lockers and shelving throughout, and each cabin benefits from large fixed panoramic windows, curtains, and excellent ventilation assisted by fans in both salon and cabins. The galley is well arranged for life at sea or at anchor, offering a large single‑bowl stainless steel sink, a 3‑burner stainless cooktop with oven, a microwave and toaster oven, and upgraded refrigeration with a Dometic 12V stainless steel refrigerator and an Isotherm 12V freezer; the original water‑cooled unit has been replaced for improved efficiency and quieter operation. Comfort and convenience are further enhanced by a Dometic 16K BTU reverse-cycle AC/heat system, dimmable LED reading lights with USB charging in the cabins, a sliding privacy door for the owner’s suite, and full‑size Jabsco manual toilets in both heads. A Dessalator D60 watermaker producing approximately 15 gallons per hour underpins self‑sufficiency on passage or at remote anchorages.

On deck, the cockpit serves as an open‑air lounge and protected deck salon, fully enclosed with canvas and clear Isinglass panels for all‑weather sailing and entertaining. A large composite table anchors the space, complemented by deep storage under the cockpit seats and helm, and a teak sole adds warmth underfoot. The port‑side helm station on the coachroof bulkhead offers excellent sightlines under the bimini with a double‑wide helm seat and matching teal cockpit cushions, cable steering with wheel brake, and a thoughtfully arranged space for navigation electronics. A self‑draining layout with three scuppers keeps the area dry, while practical touches—sunshades for the aft cockpit, a 12V cooler/freezer tucked under a seat, and a dedicated propane locker with two 20‑lb cylinders and gauges—make life aboard smooth. The side decks are wide and secure, with stainless handrails on the coachroof, aluminum stanchion bases, double lifelines with gates, and stern pulpits carrying the running light, flagpole supports, and a horseshoe buoy. Forward you’ll find a knotless trampoline (replaced in 2019) and bow pulpits with seats to enjoy the ride, as well as stainless steel dinghy davits, an outboard bracket, and hot‑and‑cold cockpit shower. For alfresco cooking, a Magma 15‑inch gas BBQ (new in 2022) is ready for sunset dinners.

Sail handling is safe and uncomplicated on this performance cruiser, with all critical lines leading back to the helm. The rig comprises an anodized aluminum deck‑stepped mast (about 15 m/49 ft) with single spreaders, ball‑bearing mainsail track cars, and an anodized boom; the standing rigging was replaced by Mack Sails in December 2022. The running rigging inventory includes a double‑purchase mainsail halyard, a multi‑purchase mainsheet with traveler in the aft cockpit, two reef lines, fixed outhaul, topping lift, twin lazy‑jacks, a genoa halyard with adjustable genoa tracks leading back to the port helm station, furling lines for headsails, gennaker halyard, twin gennaker sheets and blocks, and well‑maintained winches: one Harken 46 two‑speed electric (gearbox and bearings renewed in 2026, serviced 2025) and two Harken 40 two‑speed self‑tailing units (serviced 2025), with handles and pockets at the ready. The sail wardrobe is equally appealing: an Ullman Dacron square‑top fully battened main with stackpack, a Quantum Dacron furling genoa with UV cover (new 2020), and an Ullman furling Dacron gennaker—an efficient and versatile setup for a sailing yacht of this size.

Navigation and communications are organized around a modern Raymarine suite. A Raymarine Axiom 12 multifunction display (2023) with Navionics+ charts integrates with a Raymarine P70 autopilot driven by an NGCC Smart Pilot, twin i70 displays for navigation data, and a Raymarine RD418D 4 kW radome with 48‑nm range for confident watch‑keeping. Comms are handled by a Raymarine Ray63 VHF with GPS and DCS (2023) and a RayMic remote handset at the helm (2023), with a Raymarine AIS 650 transceiver aiding situational awareness. Entertainment afloat is provided by a Pioneer stereo/CD unit feeding four waterproof speakers—two in the salon and two in the cockpit.

The electrical system is robust, flexible, and ideal for a liveaboard cruising catamaran. Dual shore power inlets supply either a 220VAC service via a Charles ISO‑G2 3.8 kVA isolation/step‑up transformer or a dedicated 110VAC panel, while underway charging is supported by twin 80‑amp engine alternators feeding a Cristec RCE isolator. Renewable energy is substantial: three Victron VSP180M‑24V solar panels deliver a total of 540W through a Morningstar TriStar TS‑MPPT‑60 controller with remote monitoring, complemented by an Air Breeze wind turbine adding approximately 180W in suitable breeze. The house bank comprises six Trojan T‑125 6V flooded deep‑cycle batteries (about 720 Ah at 12V) overseen by a remote Victron BMS, with starting duties handled by two Duracell Ultra Group 24M 12V 800 CCA marine batteries. A Cristec CPS3 12V 40A charger and a Victron Phoenix Compact 1600VA inverter manage onboard power conversion, and a portable Predator 2500W gasoline generator is included for auxiliary 110VAC supply at anchor, especially useful for the AC/heat system.

Propulsion is provided by twin Yanmar 3YM30 diesels showing approximately 1,850 hours each, coupled to Yanmar SD20 saildrives swinging two‑blade Flex‑Fold folding propellers for improved sailing performance. Fuel capacity is 52 gallons split between two 26‑gallon tanks, and each engine is fitted with an 80‑amp alternator. The boat’s reliable pedigree is underscored by a meticulous service history: engine cooling elbows and heat exchangers were replaced in 2021, saildrive diaphragms and seals renewed in 2021 and again in 2026, engine mounts replaced in 2022, saildrive mounts done in 2023, rudder post bushings also in 2023, seawater pumps, impellers, and belts refreshed in 2026, and the electric winch gearbox and motor bearings addressed in 2026. Major improvements by the current owners include the addition of a starboard holding tank and gauges for both tanks (2021), new 110VAC service and panel (2021), installation of the Dometic 16K BTU AC/heat (2021), a portable washdown pump (2021), completion of the full cockpit surround enclosure (2021), forward stainless coachroof handrails (2021), a portable generator dedicated to powering AC/heat at anchor (2022), new helm and cockpit cushions (2021), replacement of underwater lights (port in 2022, starboard in 2025), new start batteries (port in 2022, starboard in 2023), a new Scheiber Navigraph tank monitor PCB (2023), a larger stainless single‑bowl galley sink and faucet making cleanup easier (2023), OceanSouth custom hatch covers throughout (2025), upgraded Raymarine plotter and VHF (2023), a new wind generator (2024), and salon windows replaced in 2025.

Her structure reflects Lagoon’s proven multihull construction methods, with polyester and high‑quality anti‑osmotic resin FRP, foam‑sandwich hulls finished in white gelcoat, a solid GRP bottom, and balsa‑cored deck and bridgedeck using polyester and vinylester resins for strength and weight savings. Inside, solid GRP liners and laminated wooden bulkheads provide durability and a refined finish, while on deck the arrangement promotes safe movement under way or at rest, with lines led back to the helm—main halyard, reefing lines, and the starboard genoa sheet—so short‑handed sailing remains relaxed and secure. Winches include a Harken 46 two‑speed electric primary and two Harken 40 two‑speed manual units, and the deck is sensibly appointed with eight mooring cleats, lifeline gates, shore freshwater inlet, emergency tiller, and stainless coachhouse‑mounted handrails.

Anchoring gear is up to extended cruising standards: a Quick Hector HC1012 1,000‑watt windlass with a 10mm/3⁄8‑inch gypsy (pitch 28) serves a primary Racnor 33 kg (73 lb) anchor added in 2016, backed by a Delta 44 lb and a Danforth 18 lb secondary, with 175 feet of 10mm chain and 100 feet of 3⁄4‑inch rode. A DBDrops 5⁄8‑inch by 15‑foot nylon anchor bridle rated to 10,400 lbs (September 2021) with stainless shackle completes the setup. Safety equipment includes automatic or manual‑activation electric bilge pumps with alarms in both hulls, manual bilge pumps, a radar reflector, jacklines, a bosun’s chair, and a 4‑person liferaft pending re‑certification, as well as life jackets; prospective buyers should note the flare kit and fire extinguishers are due for renewal. Rounding out the package is a 2011 Highfield 310 aluminum RIB on the davits with a Honda 10 hp four‑stroke outboard and OceanSouth cover, shore power cables (two 50‑foot 30A leads), folding deck chairs and a bean bag, boat hooks, two folding bikes for shore missions, diesel and gas jerry jugs, a generous set of dock lines, fenders with covers plus round fenders, a cache of spares, and maintenance supplies that make this ready‑to‑cruise catamaran genuinely turnkey.

Apres’ Sea embodies what discerning sailors seek in a modern cruising catamaran: the poise of a luxury yacht with the practicality of a dependable liveaboard multihull, the easy handling of a coastal cruiser with the equipment list of an offshore‑ready sailing yacht. With her fresh cosmetics, comprehensive upgrades, and serious systems for energy, comfort, and autonomy, she stands prepared to carry you gracefully into your next chapter on the water.
