Frenchwest Power Catamaran

Frenchwest is a 78ft (23m) power catamaran built by Lagoon in 2020. Her twin-hull design delivers the stability of a catamaran with the speed and range of a motor yacht, cruising at 10 knots with a top speed of 14 knots. She features 4 cabins – 1 King, 2 Queen and 1 Twin – for 8 guests, with day capacity for 12 and a crew of 3.

Speed Meets Space

The power catamaran format gives Frenchwest a wider beam and shallower draft than a monohull of similar length, translating to noticeably more living space and the ability to anchor in shallower waters closer to shore. Guests enjoy a swim platform alongside expansive deck areas, and the dual-hull stability means less roll even at speed – a real advantage for guests who value comfort during passages. The layout provides natural separation between social and quiet spaces, so guests find either company or solitude at any moment.

Water Toys & Recreation

8 water toys including two Seabobs, two SUP boards, water skis, and towable inflatables are on board. The 15ft Highfield tender extends the yacht’s reach to reefs, beaches, and harbours. Power catamaran draft allows Frenchwest to anchor right at the doorstep of the best swim spots, minimising tender runs and maximising time in the water.

Charter Season

Frenchwest charters across St Martin, St Barths, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, St Lucia, Grenadines, Grenada, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Barbados in the Caribbean, repositioning seasonally to offer the best cruising conditions. The recommended months are Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec. The power catamaran’s speed means she covers more ground and visits more destinations than a slower vessel could in the same timeframe.
