Massive price reduction to move this fantastic vessel in the New Year! Located in Texas so avoided all of the Florida Hurricanes last Fall. Best time to buy is the now in the off-season before next year’s sailing season. 

S/V Perspective is a 2016 Lagoon 400 S2 Owner’s version – this the highly sought out and desirable 3 cabin / 2 head model. This is a U.S.A. flagged boat, electric is 110V (not 220V), located in the U.S.  

We named her Perspective because she gave us a new perspective about life, etc. It actually gets a little annoying referring to her because everything is about perspective … or Perspective … you can see where we’re going with this.

Perspective is located in the water in Kemah, Texas; which is basically up the Houston ship channel from Galveston. She’s not in Croatia, the Bahamas, or some other far-off destination. Makes her really easy to come see and purchase versus trying to arrange a viewing and a sale in some other country and trying to figure out how to get her back stateside. She’s not in California, so you don’t have to figure out how/if you really want to go down to Panama to get her back to the States east of the West Coast. All you got to do is sail her down the ship channel to Galveston, hook a port turn, and coastal cruise to Florida or over to the Bahamas. We figured we’d spend time back and forth to the Bahamas, but plans change. To see her, it’s a flight to either of the two Houston, Texas airports and a drive to the dock.

Perspective’s entire starboard hull is the owner’s hull with the desk, book shelves, and huge head. This is what makes these vessels so desirable. Port side has two cabins and one larger shared head. Lagoon also makes an owner’s version with two small heads on the port side; one for each port cabin. This is not that version, but is, in my opinion, the best possible layout and design. She was built in September 2015 and is a 2016 model.

She has four (4) A/Cs – one big one in the salon, one for the entire starboard hull, and one for each port cabin. Has two refrigerators and one deep-freeze. One of the fridges is a cockpit fridge. Perspective has a Cummins (Onan) diesel generator in the cockpit that I believe produces 9 kWa. The generator has 4,000 hours and is current on all maintenance and runs like a champ – had the genie descaled also last year. Power comes from two Yanmar 4JN45 4-cylinder diesel motors and SD60 saildrives. Starboard motor is original and has about 3,100 hrs on it. Port motor is newer and was replaced in 2020 and has a couple of hundred hours guess-estimated, as the engine gauge as a dead-spot and you can’t read the hours on that motor. Both motors start-up immediately and run fantastic. All maintenance is up-to-date and has been handled by a local marine shop.

Has a water-maker that was working two years ago, but will likely need maintenance to get fully functioning again. B&G original Zeus 2 touch-screen chart-plotter that works fine but that I would replace in the near future just to have all the latest technology upgrades. Bottom paint was last done in 2022 I believe. Use a diver to routinely clean but I would count on new bottom paint and zincs also in the near future.

I just did very extensive video walk-through on August 3rd of every area outside, above, aboard, and below decks and posted all of those videos in a playlist on her own Youtube channel. So any prospective buyer can just spend some time going through those videos and can see every inch of this boat and save the in-person tour until the very last. I took the photos and videos on one of the hottest days of the year so my phone camera compensated somewhat on the photos outside with all of the white of the deck reflecting back at me — that’s why some of the photos and videos outside look slightly over-exposed. Took a ton of photos and only uploaded a small number to this ad.  If interested in more photos, I have all of the photos watermarked and uploaded to Google Drive broken up by area of the boat they were taken from in case someone wanted to see more.  I can send a link to that Google Drive folder to anyone interested.
