WORTH THE WAIT
2012 Lagoon 560 • Owner’s Version • Never Chartered • Extensively Upgraded • Truly Cruise Ready
There are boats that have spent their lives tied to a dock, and there are boats that have fulfilled the dreams they were built for.
Worth The Wait belongs to the second group.
For the past three years, she has been our family’s home as we explored the Caribbean together, creating memories that will last a lifetime. She has never been in charter service and has been continuously upgraded and meticulously maintained by owners who invested in her for the joy of cruising—not for resale.
Today, she represents a rare opportunity to purchase one of the most thoughtfully upgraded, privately owned Lagoon 560s available.
A Boat That Inspires Confidence
One of the biggest questions prospective owners ask is:
“Is a 56-foot catamaran too much boat?”
Our family once asked that same question.
We weren’t seasoned sailors. We weren’t a charter crew. We were simply a family with two young daughters and a dream of exploring the Caribbean together.
What we discovered is exactly why the Lagoon 560 has earned its reputation as one of the world’s most successful cruising catamarans.
Her exceptional visibility, forgiving handling, spacious layout, and thoughtfully designed living areas made life aboard remarkably comfortable and surprisingly manageable. She gave us the confidence to chase a dream we once thought was beyond our reach.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your own cruising dream is possible, we hope our experience aboard Worth The Wait reminds you that it just might be.
Designed for Living, Not Just Sailing
The Lagoon 560 remains one of the most respected luxury cruising catamarans ever built because she balances spacious accommodations with capable offshore performance.
Whether entertaining friends at anchor, enjoying dinner in the cockpit at sunset, relaxing on the expansive flybridge, or spending months exploring island after island, every space aboard has been designed to make life on the water feel effortless.
It’s easy to understand why so many families choose this model for extended cruising.
Thoughtfully Upgraded for Extended Cruising
Every improvement made aboard Worth The Wait had one purpose:
To make an already exceptional yacht even better for long-term cruising.
Unlike many yachts that are prepared for sale with cosmetic updates, our investments focused on the systems experienced cruisers value most—improving reliability, comfort, safety, and self-sufficiency.
Highlights include significant investments in:
- Modern Garmin navigation and electronics
- Lithium battery system and upgraded electrical capabilities
- Major mechanical and steering system improvements
- Updated refrigeration and onboard comfort systems
- Numerous additional upgrades throughout the yacht that reduce the likelihood of immediate major capital expenses
Rather than inheriting a lengthy list of deferred maintenance, the next owner benefits from years of thoughtful ownership and continuous improvement.

Never Chartered. Exceptionally Maintained.
Unlike many yachts of this size and vintage, Worth The Wait has never served in charter.
She has been privately owned, extensively cruised, and carefully maintained by owners who expected to keep sailing for years—not prepare her for market.
That philosophy is reflected throughout the yacht.
More Than a Boat
Every boat has specifications.
Every boat has equipment.
Not every boat has a story.
For us, Worth The Wait became much more than transportation. She became our home, our classroom, our front porch, and the place where our daughters grew through experiences few families ever have the opportunity to share.
Now it’s time for another family to begin writing their own story.
Whether your dream is retirement cruising, island hopping through the Bahamas, exploring the Caribbean, or simply owning one of Lagoon’s finest flagship catamarans, Worth The Wait is ready for her next adventure.
Begin Your Adventure
The expensive upgrades have been made.
The systems have been refined.
The memories are waiting.
If you’ve been searching for a Lagoon 560 that stands apart from the ordinary, we invite you to step aboard Worth The Wait and experience the difference for yourself.
“Some of life’s greatest adventures begin with the courage to leave the dock. We hope Worth The Wait inspires your family as much as she inspired ours.”
