The Lagoon 380 Bellevue 2010 vs Lagoon 380 S2 2017 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 Bellevue 2010 at 37,1 ft versus Lagoon 380 S2 2017 at 37,1 ft. At 16 006 lbs and 16 006 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 20 hp for the Lagoon 380 Bellevue 2010 and 30 hp for the Lagoon 380 S2 2017. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 53 gal and 53 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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.

Both boats sit in a similar displacement bracket — 16 006 lbs for the Lagoon 380 Bellevue 2010 and 16 006 lbs for the Lagoon 380 S2 2017. Comparable displacement means broadly similar seakeeping behaviour and load capacity, though hull form and ballast ratio will still produce noticeably different sailing characteristics.

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

The Lagoon 380 Bellevue 2010 uses fractional_rig_sloop rigging. For auxiliary power the Lagoon 380 S2 2017 carries a 30-hp engine against 20 hp on the Lagoon 380 Bellevue 2010. Motoring range and ability to punch through a foul current or enter a tight marina under power will favour the more powerful installation.
