Southern Charm is a Lagoon 450F, with a helm station flybridge, it hits a sweet spot in terms of size. It is perfect for a family, a couple with guests or a large group of friends, yet easy to sail and maintain without a professional captain.
Southern Charm is currently in Conch Charters fleet in the British Virgin Islands and has excellent charter revenue from existing bookings.
This catamaran continues to be a very popular charter boat (particularly the flybridge version) and it´s one of the most popular mid-sized catamarans on the secondhand market.
The most striking feature of this cat is how much space you have outside! Aft there is a large cockpit covered by a hard top bimini that can easily accommodate everyone if you decide to dine outside in the evening Caribbean breeze. The flybridge, which can be accessed from either side of the cat features the helm station giving you great all-round visibility, plus a bench that can seat 6! All the control lines lead back to the helm with some meaty Harken winches to help you manage the sails.
Forward there is an additional U-shaped seating area plus a large trampoline area for those who want to soak up the sun whilst underway.
Each hull has two spacious guest cabins, each with a double berth, head and separate shower. For added comfort, each cabin and the saloon has it’s own air-conditioning control units, which can be powered by shoreside power or the onboard generator. The interior decor complements the layout nicely, with light wood and fabrics that create a clean, inviting appearance. It’s not dramatically hyper-modern, but comfortable and contemporary and all in very good taste.
The U-shaped galley shows the boat’s French heritage, with plenty of counter space, thoughtful details such as a dish drainer built into a cabinet, and lots of stowage in well-designed self-latching drawers and cabinets. A second fridge as well as the third fridge in the cockpit makes stowing provisions a breeze. To keep the three fridges running without draining the house batteries during the day, there are four solar panels fitted on the hard top bimini.
For such a big, comfortable boat, the 450 sails well. The Lagoon 450F performs well even in light winds. She tacks reliably and moves gently along on all points of sail.
The 450F is powered by two 57 HP Yanmars. She’s highly manoeuvrable under power helped by good visibility from the flybridge.
The 450 delivers high comfort and solid performance in a great value package.
Come and be a member of the Conch Charters fleet and part of a special longstanding family run business!

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Full-batten mainsail 79 m² / 850 sq.ft.
