LAGOON 45 The Lagoon 450 S architects have designed the SporTop which replaces the fly bridge helm with a more sociable helm station allowing the skipper to interact with the crew and guests whilst sailing. With no flybridge, the boom is lowered, stability is gained and working with the mainsail is simplified which means the SporTop is a great choice for sailing for groups with a smaller crew. French Kiss is equipped with a large sunbathing top deck as well as a spacious aft cockpit with dining area to port, shaded by the hard top. The large saloon and open plan dining area is ideal for entertaining and the comfortable forward cockpit is a great place to enjoy scenery and feel secure while underway. The interior includes four spacious and light queen cabins with en-suite heads and shower as well as an additional smaller berth forward accessible from the deck. On a crewed charter the captain and hostess / chef will usually occupy one of the Double cabins and the associated fore peak.
