The Lagoon 380 S2 2017 vs Lagoon 39 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lagoon 380 S2 2017 at 37,1 ft versus Lagoon 39 2013 at 38,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lagoon 39 2013 tips the scales at 25 735 lbs — 9 729 lbs less than the Lagoon 380 S2 2017 at 16 006 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 30 hp for the Lagoon 380 S2 2017 and 29 hp for the Lagoon 39 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lagoon 39 2013 carries 106 gallons versus 53 gallons in the Lagoon 380 S2 2017. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 11 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Displacement is where these two sailboats genuinely part ways. The Lagoon 39 2013 displaces 25 735 lbs — a 9 729-lb difference over the Lagoon 380 S2 2017 at 16 006 lbs. That gap separates two entirely different categories of sailing: the heavier boat is built for offshore passage-making and load-carrying, while the lighter hull rewards performance sailing and easier handling in lighter air.

Both boats draw a similar depth — 3,1 ft and 4,0 ft respectively. Marina access and anchorage options should be broadly equivalent between the two.
