A large power catamaran from a highly regarded French builder, the new Lagoon 630 offers a combination of blue-water performance and luxurious living on board. Hull number one of the new 630 cruised on her own bottom from France to Florida, evidence of her sea-going qualities. And the cat’s twin hulls, with 32-foot-plus beam, provide stability at sea plus opening up enormous amounts of space for entertaining and relaxing underway or at anchor.
Part of the Beneteau Group, Lagoon has made more than 3,000 large sailing catamarans over the years. The new power 630 is built on the successful Lagoon 620 sailboat hull, with more than 50 sold around the world; the aft 20 percent of the 630’s hull has been modified to provide support for the twin Volvo D4 diesels. The company’s goal with the 630 was to design a boat with the space of a large catamaran, but with the speed and comfort of a motoryacht. The 630 tops out at 16 knots, and has a range of 2,000 nm at 10 knots.
With four staterooms and four heads, the Lagoon 630 can hold a crowd. The salon is huge, with sofas on both sides and large windows for lots of natural light. An elegant dining table can seat 12 guests for dinner. The aft deck is another entertainment center, also with a table seating 12, plus a bar, fridge, ice maker and barbeque. Up top, the flybridge has another dining table, a bar, outdoor galley and lounging and sunning areas. There is a helm station on either side of the flybridge, plus a third in the salon.
The galley is down, in the port hull, with two guest staterooms and en suite heads. The large owner’s stateroom is in the starboard hull, with a queen berth, a glass-walled shower, double sink, vanity, and private entrance to the aft deck. The fourth stateroom is forward in the starboard hull. The staterooms and salon all have 6’9” headroom.
