The Lagoon 560 S2 2014 vs Lagoon 620 2009 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lagoon 620 2009 measures 62,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lagoon 560 S2 2014 at 56,0 feet (2014). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lagoon 620 2009 tips the scales at 71 077 lbs — 4 277 lbs less than the Lagoon 560 S2 2014 at 66 800 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 110 hp, the Lagoon 620 2009 has a 30-hp advantage over the Lagoon 560 S2 2014's 80-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lagoon 560 S2 2014 carries 364 gallons versus 343 gallons in the Lagoon 620 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lagoon 620 2009 is rated for 18 passengers, while the Lagoon 560 S2 2014 caps at 17. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lagoon 620 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Displacement is where these two sailboats genuinely part ways. The Lagoon 620 2009 displaces 71 077 lbs — a 4 277-lb difference over the Lagoon 560 S2 2014 at 66 800 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 — 4,1 ft and 5,1 ft respectively. Marina access and anchorage options should be broadly equivalent between the two.

The Lagoon 560 S2 2014 is rigged as a Sloop while the Lagoon 620 2009 carries Fractional Sloop rigging — a meaningful difference in sail handling complexity, upwind performance, and the size of crew you'll need to work the boat comfortably. Helm style differs too: the Lagoon 560 S2 2014 uses a Single helm wheel versus a Twin helm wheels on the Lagoon 620 2009. Wheel helms give better leverage and visibility on larger boats; tillers offer direct feedback and simplicity on smaller ones. For auxiliary power the Lagoon 620 2009 carries a 110-hp engine against 80 hp on the Lagoon 560 S2 2014. Motoring range and ability to punch through a foul current or enter a tight marina under power will favour the more powerful installation.
