Performance & Bluewater Comfort
The Lagoon 52F is the flagship cruising catamaran from Lagoon. Designed by VPLP Design, it offers a thoughtful balance between performance, comfort and liveability.
With “Matarma”, you benefit from a sleek yet voluminous hull, stable catamaran comfort, and a layout designed for extended cruising or charter stays, ideal for Mediterranean island-hopping or longer blue-water voyages.
Whether you are moored in a quiet bay or sailing between islands, Lagoon 52F delivers a smooth, stable, and comfortable ride with plenty of living space for all aboard.
Accomodation
Your Cabins
“Matarma” can host up to 12 guests comfortably, thanks to a layout with 6 cabins + up to 6 bathrooms/heads.

The benefits of Catamarans
Spaciousness:
This Catamaran is designed with comfort in mind and offers spacious double en-suit cabins with bathrooms, comfortable lounge area, and a large dining space. With a generous deck space, you can enjoy a sense of freedom and comfort that's hard to match on a monohull. This is the perfect choice for couples or small groups who want their own space and privacy while sailing together.
Stability:
Catamarans have two hulls instead of one and therefore don't tilt or heel as much while sailing. This makes them exceptionally stable so you can move about the boat, dine, or relax without the constant need to adjust to the boat's movement. This stability also enhances safety and reduces the risk of seasickness, allowing you to enjoy smooth and steady sailing.
Amazing views:
The elevated helm position on a flybridge catamaran offers panoramic views of the surrounding waters. Due to its shallow draft, you can anchor closer to shore and explore coves, beaches and otherwise inaccessible areas.
Eco-friendly yachting:
This boat is perfect if you want to travel and preserve nature. It is equipped both with large solar panels and batteries, significantly reducing the need for engine usage. This lowers both costs and noise. Enjoy sailing, anchoring and snorkeling with a clean conscience.

Plan YourSailing Vacation
Book your charter week & flights in advance:
Start by selecting your desired dates and booking your charter week through our form in advance. This ensures you secure your preferred time slot. Once your charter week is confirmed, book your flights to and from the departure location. Early bookings often offer better deals.
Plan your sailing route:
Research and plan the sailing route you wish to explore. Discuss your preferences with the crew to align your expectations. If you don’t know what to see, the crew are happy to assist with their recommendations.
Plan your activities and equipment:
Determine the activities you’d like to enjoy during your trip, such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), snorkeling, or other water sports so the crew can prepare the equipment.
Pack smart and travel light:
Soft luggage or bags are better then hard suitcases, as they are easier and safer to stow on board. Focus on essentials like swimwear, a windproof jacket and comfortable clothing – you won’t need a full wardrobe. It‘s also wise to bring anti-seasickness pills just in case.
Secure insurance coverage:
Remember to book your crew liability insurance, as it’s obligatory for your safety. Additionally, strongly consider travel cancellation insurance to keep your investment safe in case unforeseen circumstances arise.

All-Inclusive, and Exquisite Experiences
So, what can you expect when you step aboard Bugaboo Catamaran for your Caribbean adventure? Well, the short answer is ‘everything.’ This all-inclusive experience extends beyond your wildest dreams.
Firstly, Bugaboo is committed to being environmentally friendly. Solar panels and batteries power the boat, reducing the need to rely on the engine. They embrace local foods, and while you’ll enjoy eggs and potatoes as you like them, they also favor regional cuisine and avoid unnecessary sugar.
Throughout the day, you’ll find snacks and drinks readily available, with a self-serve fridge and provisions stocked by the crew. Together, you’ll embark on shopping trips to discover fun markets and locally sourced delights, ensuring that every meal is a flavorful adventure.
Around the age of 28-30, he rediscovered his passion for sailing, joined a crew, and started chartering in the Baltic Sea. The desire to own his own boat grew, and so he became a skipper and bought his first Bugaboo Catamaran, a Lagoon 440, fully equipped and ready for adventures. Soon, he started sharing his knowledge and love for the sea with family, friends, and charter guests.
In 2012, Ralf’s adventures brought his future wife Betty into the picture. Together they sailed through the seasons in the Caribbean waters for seven incredible years, growing both the Bugaboo’s and their own reputation regionally.
The Bugaboo was eventually sold and they returned to Germany right before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the burning desire to return to sailing remained. Ralf and Betty decided to acquire a newer 2022 version of the favourite Bugaboo Catamaran. The goal was simple: to let others experience the beauty of the Caribbean from aboard through tailored charter experiences.
