2007 Lagoon 500 | Sankalpa

Set sail aboard Sankalpa, a privately owned 2007 Lagoon 500 that combines the robust build and spacious design of the legendary VPLP layout with intelligent upgrades tailored for comfortable, long-distance cruising. Lying in Phuket, Thailand, and Malaysian-flagged (Langkawi), Sankalpa has never been chartered and has been carefully maintained by an experienced owner with a deep understanding of self-sufficiency at sea. Her condition, equipment, and thoughtful enhancements make her a rare find among 50-foot cruising catamarans.

From the moment you step aboard, Sankalpa tells a story of purposeful cruising. With over 2.2 meters of headroom in the saloon, a full-beam layout, and four generous ensuite queen cabins, she offers comfort rarely seen in vessels of this size. But beyond her inviting interior lies a yacht that’s been truly set up for independence: a powerful Eco watermaker, a high-capacity Quick 60L hot water system, 6 x 220Ah lithium house batteries, 9 solar panels, and a Cummins Onan 5kVA genset, all carefully integrated to support life aboard, both at anchor and underway.

The galley is well-equipped for liveaboard cooking, with three fridges (including a cockpit fridge), a microwave, a large oven, and four-burner Ariston gas stove. All heads are electric (Jabsco), and each cabin is complemented by private shower facilities and holding tanks, with an additional crew cabin featuring its own shower and toilet, a rare and valuable addition for this model.

Sankalpa recent technical refit includes new sails (2024), a full engine refurbishment in 2024 (with only ~1,000 hours on the Yanmar 75HP engines), and a comprehensive suite of Raymarine electronics. Navigation is enhanced with a HybridTouch chartplotter, autopilot, AIS integration, and a dedicated Axiom fish finder with bottom scanning capability, ideal for cruising remote anchorages with confidence.

On deck, a wide flybridge helm offers outstanding visibility and control, while the rigid bimini, large cockpit, and well-appointed lounging areas make entertaining and passage-making equally enjoyable. Her upgraded ground tackle (Rocna 55kg anchor, 100m chain) and Lewmar windlass provide security when anchoring, even in challenging conditions.

For anyone seeking a bluewater-ready catamaran that’s been set up for real-world cruising, not charter life, Sankalpa is a standout choice. She’s ready to go and waiting for her next chapter.
