Lagoon 450S

Illiohale represents a very rare opportunity in the Pacific to secure a fully set-up, blue-water Lagoon 450S. This desirable 2016 Owner's Version was purchased in 2021 from fellow cruisers in the San Fransisco bay area and has been well loved, and extensively cruised, presenting as a proven and capable offshore vessel.

Under its current ownership, Iliohale has benefitted from thoughtful upgrades including a watermaker, downwind sail, and liferaft. Following a year of preparation in San Diego, the vessel cruised extensively through Mexico, taking in the Sea of Cortez, the Mexican Riviera, and Zihuatanejo over two seasons. In March 2025, Iliohale crossed the Pacific to French Polynesia, continuing on to the Cook Islands, Niue, and Tonga with family and long-time friends, before arriving in New Zealand. This impressive cruising history speaks volumes about the vessel's seaworthiness and comfort.

Renowned for its spacious layout and stability, the Lagoon 450S offers comfort for extended cruising. The sought after 3-cabin owner's version features a full-hull owner's suite with ample storage and a private head, showcasing the practicality of a true blue-water cruiser.

This vessel has been carefully upgraded and consistently maintained. Steering cables were replaced with 7mm Dyneema, along with key running rigging including dinghy lifting lines, lifelines, and the main halyard. A comprehensive Victron electrical system includes a Battery Management System, a new 3000W Victron inverter (2025), and 840Ah Lifeline AGM house batteries (2025). Lagoon bulkhead reinforcement works were professionally completed in 2021, with full reports and invoices available.

Recent improvements include, but are not limited to, new saildrive seals, a 40 GPH CruiseRO watermaker, new genset start battery, updated galley appliances (Breville convection oven and GE microwave), and rebedded escape hatches with additional brackets. Maintenance is current, with antifoul, prop service, and full hull and topsides polish completed in September 2025.

Iliohale represents a turnkey example of the highly regarded Lagoon 450S, ideal for private ownership or extended cruising. The vessel is currently located in Whangarei, New Zealand. Viewings are available by appointment, please contact the broker to arrange a suitable time.
