MAGIQUE

MAGIQUE — Lagoon 450, Fiji A 13.96-metre (46ft) sailing catamaran built by Lagoon in 2012, MAGIQUE carries an interior signed by Nauta Design in Italy — a studio whose work tends to favour light, clean lines and usable volume over decoration. That philosophy shows below deck: open, bright interiors, generous natural light throughout, and the kind of storage that makes a week aboard feel lived-in rather than improvised. Accommodation is arranged in double cabins with en-suite facilities; your BellaYacht advisor will confirm the exact configuration for your dates. What sets this Lagoon apart in daily use is the way she organises outdoor living. The helm sits on the flybridge, giving the skipper clear all-round visibility and easy access from either side deck — a genuine safety asset under sail, and a wide sunbathing platform when the anchor is down. Forward, a second cockpit offers the best seat aboard for a glass of wine at the end of the afternoon, with nothing between you and the water. Aft, the exterior dining and lounging areas handle breakfast, lunch, dinner and sundowners without anyone having to move indoors. Under way, she cruises comfortably at 6 to 8 knots and will show 13 at her best — the balance of stability, speed and space that explains why catamarans of this size suit families and groups sailing together so well. A crew of two runs the yacht and the galley, handling navigation, meals and the rhythm of each day with the discretion that makes a charter feel effortless. Her cruising ground is Fiji: reef passes, protected anchorages and island villages that reward a shallow-draft catamaran able to tuck in where deeper yachts cannot.
