about Amari

Amari is a 2015 Lagoon 450F yacht delivered in 2016, she has four staterooms, four showers, and four dry electric heads. She is large enough to easily accommodate 2 families or 4 couples, and she is small enough for an experienced solo sailor to handle. Crossing big waters or living aboard, Amari offers plenty of different zones to hang out in, like the forward cockpit, or the aft cockpit, or the fly helm which is the crowd favorite. She has been meticulously and professionally maintained, never been chartered, no smoking aboard, smells and looks new.  The owners are often asked if she is a new yacht.  Amari turns heads with a her custom designed stainless and teak bimini top, stainless solar arch, and teak flooring that extends into the saloon. Her use over the last 2 years barely shows, as her owners are nothing short of perfectionists who have worked out every kink.  Amari has also proven to be the best sailing catamaran in her class, winning regattas in full trim (fully loaded with fuel, water & provisions).  Amari was thoughtfully upgraded at a cost of over $300,000

our journey to Amari

Our family started a sailing journey with intensions of buying an “out of charter” Leopard catamaran.  After several attempts to buy an ex-charter, we knew we could not accept the amount of wear and tear and damage those boats had.  

As an architectural designer concentrating on outdoor spaces, we decided to start looking at other brands that would provide us with the design and quilty we expected from our own projects.  There were two things about the Lagoon 450 Fly that we were not 100% sure about:  the flybridge helm and the 4 cabin layout. As it turns out, the flybridge helm is the crown jewel of her design, offering 360-degree views to admire the wildlife and surroundings, It also creates the most beautiful sailing experience we had ever encountered through our long search.  Most times our friends & crew would be “up top” on the bench seating, bean bags or sun loungers. We fell in love with the 4 cabin version of this catamaran as we discovered no one spends much time in their cabin, & we loved having the extra 4th cabin for additional guests.  The features we were unsure about ended up being our favorite things about Amari.
