Market Momentum, the Lagoon 65, and Caribbean Buying Myths

The catamaran market is heating up for fall, and Wiley Sharp and Keagan Steyn are back to break down what's driving it. This episode covers the uptick in buyer activity compared to last summer, a look ahead at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the upcoming Annapolis and Fort Lauderdale boat shows. A full model-of-the-week breakdown of the Lagoon 65 — how it stacks up against the Lagoon 620, what sets its flybridge and galley layouts apart, and why it's become the go-to choice for owners weighing resale value and charter income. Wiley and Keagan also tackle one of their most frequent buyer questions: is it actually harder to buy a boat in the Caribbean than in the US? They walk through duty-paid status, survey and sea trial logistics, and the real risk of losing a boat to another buyer while you're still in the air. The episode wraps with their brokerage picks of the week — two very different Lagoon 65s, Kuali in La Paz, Mexico and Xandros in the BVI — and what makes each one a smart buy depending on your plans for private use or charter.
