Lagoon 620 NEO: Breathing New Life into Luxury Catamarans
Lagoon announced a new service at the end of 2024 where sustainability meets luxury.
The French catamaran manufacturer has launched the NEO program—an initiative aimed at revitalizing older catamarans, exemplified by the transformation of a Lagoon 620 NEO.
This program extends the lifespan of these vessels: an eco-friendly service offering owners the chance to experience modern comforts without the footprint of new builds.
A Sustainable Vision: The NEO Program
Lagoon’s NEO program is more than a refit; it’s a commitment to quality backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee. It’s another way for the company to reduce waste and conserve resources, embodying the principles of their “Sailing for Change” initiative.
The aim is to improve on the structural integrity of the vessels and build in new technologies and features, so that the refurbished yachts meet current standards of luxury and performance.
The Rebirth of a Lagoon 620: A Case Study
The Lagoon 620 NEO is the flagship of the program. Originally launched in 2012, this vessel underwent a 4-6 month transformation at Lagoon’s Monfalcone shipyard in Italy. The refit included a full structural inspection, system upgrades, and design enhancements, resulting in a catamaran that rivals new builds in both form and function.
Tailored Refit Packages: Options for Every Owner
Understanding that each owner has unique needs, Lagoon offers customisable refit packages:
- Standard Pack: Includes a full structural audit, system overhauls, new sails, updated electronics, and interior refurbishments.
- Eco Pack: Focuses on sustainability with features like solar panels, LED lighting, water treatment systems, and eco-friendly materials.
- Premium Pack: extensive interior redesigns, upgraded furnishings, and advanced technological integrations.
- Seduction Pack: design enhancements, including hull repainting and deck upgrades.
- Marine Industry News
Each package is designed to modernise the vessel while respecting its original craftsmanship.
Eco-Friendly Impact and Warranty Assurance
A standout feature of the NEO program is its environmental targets. Over 70% of components removed during the refit are either reused or recycled, significantly reducing the ecological footprint. Moreover, each refurbished catamaran comes with a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty, providing peace of mind and underscoring Lagoon’s confidence in their revitalized vessels.
Conclusion: A New Lase of Luxury
The Lagoon 620 NEO shows how luxury and sustainability can coexist. Through the NEO program, Lagoon offers a way for owners to upgrade their vessels to a modern specification, while building resale values though the manufacturer’s warranty and quality control. It’s not just a refit; it’s a renaissance ,setting a new standard for the industry.!
