The process of acquiring a Lagoon catamaran, from the first visit to delivery, involves several important steps. Here is a general overview of the process:
Research and First Visit:
Begin by researching the Lagoon catamaran model that best suits your needs and budget. Contact a Lagoon dealership or an authorized seller to arrange a first visit. During this visit, you can explore the catamaran, ask questions, and discuss details.
Model Selection and Customization:
Once you've identified the model that suits you, you can discuss customization options, equipment, and special arrangements you desire.
Getting a Quote:
Request a detailed quote for the catamaran, including the cost of the vessel, customization options, taxes, transportation fees, etc.
Financing:
If you plan to finance your purchase, ensure you have an adequate financing solution in place.
Contract Signing:
Once the quote is accepted, and financing is arranged, you will sign a purchase contract. This contract outlines the terms of the transaction, including the price, delivery timelines, and warranties.
Production and Construction:
If the catamaran is not in stock, it is typically custom-built for you. The construction process can take several months.
Inspections and Sea Trials:
Before delivery, the catamaran undergoes quality inspections and sea trials to ensure it is in perfect condition.
Training:
You may receive training on maintenance and the operation of the catamaran, especially if you are new to boating.
Delivery:
Once the catamaran is ready, you will schedule the delivery date. The seller or dealership will hand over the keys and accompany you on board for a final inspection.
Registration and Insurance:
Ensure the catamaran is properly registered and insured in accordance with local laws.
Launching and Sailing:
After delivery, you can finally launch your catamaran and start sailing.
Each step of the process requires close communication with SAILOÉ, as well as careful planning to ensure a smooth experience. Feel free to ask questions throughout the process to ensure you understand every aspect of acquiring your Lagoon catamaran.
