Lagoon 55 “Flying Ginny” — Proven Bluewater Cruiser & Successful Charter Yacht

The Lagoon 55 “Flying Ginny” is a robust, ocean-proven cruising catamaran built in 1992, extensively upgraded, and professionally maintained to modern standards. Combining strong epoxy/Kevlar construction with a comprehensive refit and major mechanical renewals, she represents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a turnkey bluewater yacht with proven charter credentials.

She is currently operating as a fully crewed charter yacht in the San Blas Islands, Panama, managed and captained by her owner — ensuring exceptional care, constant oversight, and meticulous maintenance.

Ownership & Charter Operation

“Flying Ginny” is professionally run as a fully crewed charter yacht, with the owner serving as captain. This hands-on management ensures:

Continuous mechanical supervision

Proactive maintenance and upgrades

High presentation standards

Excellent operational reliability

She has been consistently maintained to meet charter expectations while preserving her long-term structural integrity and sailing performance.

Why “Flying Ginny” Stands Out

✔ Proven charter yacht in San Blas ✔ Owner-operated and meticulously maintained ✔ Complete 2021 refit ✔ Engines & transmissions rebuilt (2023) ✔ 2,000+ watts solar with lithium system ✔ 75 GPH watermaker ✔ New anchor & 85m chain (2023) ✔ Updated Raymarine & Garmin electronics ✔ Solid epoxy/Kevlar offshore construction

“Flying Ginny” is not simply a classic Lagoon — she is a fully operational, income-generating yacht with modern systems and an attentive owner-captain who has invested significantly in her upkeep.

She is ready for immediate cruising, private ownership, or continued charter operation in one of the Caribbean’s most desirable sailing destinations.
