Description2020 Lagoon 46 | TUNUCA TUNUCA is an exceptionally well-equipped Lagoon 46, thoughtfully prepared for long-range cruising, comfortable liveaboard life and offshore passagemaking. Built by Lagoon Catamarans in 2020 and currently lying in Panama, she offers the highly desirable 4-cabin, 4-head layout with additional "crew cabins" in both bows together with an impressive inventory of equipment designed to support extended cruising in complete comfort and independence.
The Lagoon 46 has become one of the world's most successful cruising catamarans, renowned for her spacious accommodation, safe and practical deck layout, excellent visibility from the flybridge helm, and impressive balance between sailing performance and onboard comfort. Whether crossing oceans, exploring remote anchorages or serving as a full-time floating home, the design has earned a reputation as one of the most versatile cruising catamarans in her class.
Unlike many vessels on the market, TUNUCA has been actively owner-operated and continually upgraded for genuine bluewater cruising rather than occasional coastal use. Her substantial 1,200Ah lithium battery bank, 1,200W solar array, Victron energy management system, Rainman watermaker, Dometic air conditioning, Onan generator and Starlink internet system provide the level of self-sufficiency sought by serious cruisers and liveaboards.
Powered by twin Yanmar 57HP diesel engines with SD60 saildrives, she is capable of comfortable passagemaking under power while retaining the excellent sailing characteristics for which the Lagoon 46 is known. Her comprehensive offshore cruising inventory includes a Highfield 340 centre-console tender with 2025 Mercury 20HP outboard, extensive spare parts inventory, safety equipment, diving equipment, fishing gear, watersports equipment and maintenance tools.
The vessel benefits from factory-reinforced structural bulkheads specified during construction and has reportedly never been grounded or suffered any structural damage. Preventative maintenance has been a priority throughout ownership, with engines and generator serviced regularly and standing rigging professionally inspected in 2026.
Offered in cruising condition and ready for immediate adventures, TUNUCA represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a proven, ocean-capable Lagoon 46 that has already received many of the upgrades and equipment additions typically undertaken by new owners at considerable expense.
BROKER'S COMMENTS
The Lagoon 46 remains one of the most successful cruising catamarans ever produced, offering an exceptional balance of sailing performance, comfort, load-carrying capability and long-term liveaboard practicality. Its innovative flybridge helm position, spacious accommodation and impressive offshore credentials have made it one of the most sought-after cruising catamarans in the 45–50ft market.
TUNUCA distinguishes herself from many comparable Lagoon 46s through a specification that has been continuously refined for serious offshore cruising and self-sufficient liveaboard use. The current owners have invested significantly in modernising the vessel's electrical and energy systems, ensuring she is exceptionally well prepared for extended cruising away from marinas and shore facilities.
Particularly noteworthy is the recently upgraded electrical system featuring a substantial 1,200Ah LiTime lithium battery bank installed in 2026, supported by a 1,200W Solarfam solar array installed in 2025 and managed through a comprehensive Victron energy system. Combined with the Rainman watermaker, Dometic 72,000 BTU air conditioning system, Onan 11kW generator and Starlink internet connectivity, TUNUCA offers the level of onboard independence increasingly sought by modern cruising sailors.
The vessel has benefited from careful preventative maintenance. Saildrive seals were replaced in April 2025, standing rigging was professionally inspected in 2026, engines and generator are serviced regularly and, the owners report no history of grounding or structural damage. The vessel also benefits from factory-reinforced structural bulkheads specified during construction.
Her inventory is extensive and represents significant additional value. Included in the sale are a 2020 Highfield 340 centre-console tender, 2025 Mercury 20HP outboard, diving equipment, fishing gear, kitesurfing equipment, paddleboard, underwater scooter, spare anchor, comprehensive Yanmar spares inventory, Rainman watermaker spares package, spare saildrive seal kits and two spare propellers.
Unlike many brokerage vessels, TUNUCA is actively cruising and has been used exactly as intended: exploring, passagemaking and living aboard. Her owners have sailed extensively from Europe and documented their travels throughout their journey, demonstrating the vessel's capability as a genuine bluewater cruising platform.
For buyers seeking a turnkey Lagoon 46 that has already received many of the upgrades typically undertaken after purchase, TUNUCA represents an outstanding opportunity. She is fully equipped, actively maintained and ready for immediate cruising.
