Accommodations
MAKIN’ MEMORIES is a 2016 Lagoon 450, refit in 2022, that delivers an impressive sense of space with a fresh, contemporary feel for Virgin Islands charters. Light woods, clean lines, and abundant natural light keep the interior bright and relaxed, while signature Lagoon wraparound windows bring panoramic views into the salon.
Accommodating up to 6 guests, MAKIN’ MEMORIES offers 3 queen staterooms, each with individual climate control and a private ensuite. Outside, the shaded cockpit features two distinct seating areas with easy access to the aft steps for quick swims, while the flybridge combines sailing action with elevated views for dolphin spotting and island scenery. Forward trampolines and lounge seating complete the open-air experience. Spacious, breezy, and beautifully dialed in, MAKIN’ MEMORIES lives up to her name.
