When Your Vision Sets Sail with Aube Corbeil Marine


When you step into the world of 65 feet and above, you’re no longer just purchasing a boat — you’re designing a lifestyle.
At Aube Corbeil Marine, we work with owners who think long-term: extended cruising, seasonal migration between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, luxury charter programs, or full-time liveaboard life. With models like the Lagoon SIXTY 5/SIXTY 7, Lagoon EIGHTY 2, and Lagoon EIGHTY 3, customization becomes a strategic and highly personal process.
Here’s how a large Lagoon transforms from a production yacht into a tailored, one-of-a-kind vessel.

A Real Story: From Vision to Delivery

Every project begins with a conversation.


A couple approaches us: recently retired, planning summers in the Mediterranean and winters in the Caribbean. They want space for children and grandchildren, long-range autonomy, and refined contemporary styling. They’re considering a selective charter program but primarily envision private use.
Customization isn’t about checking option boxes. It’s about aligning:
  1. How you plan to use the yacht
  2. Where you plan to cruise
  3. What kind of onboard experience you want to create

1️⃣ Interior Layout: Designing for Lifestyle

On a 65’+ Lagoon, interior configuration is foundational.


Common layout considerations:
  • Full-beam owner’s suite configuration
  • 4 to 6 cabin layouts for charter optimization
  • Separate crew quarters
  • Office or convertible lounge space
  • Enlarged bathrooms with separate showers
  • Dedicated storage for long-term cruising
👉 For charter programs, symmetry and guest flow are key.
👉 For private use, the owner’s suite and long-term livability take priority.
The layout decision influences resale value, operational flexibility, and overall onboard comfort.

2️⃣ Interior Design & Finishes: Creating a Signature Atmosphere

Large Lagoon models offer a level of finish comparable to luxury motor yachts.


Customization options may include:
  • Wood selections (light oak, walnut, satin finishes)
  • Premium upholstery and leather packages
  • Personalized color palettes
  • Quartz or stone countertops
  • Ambient LED lighting schemes
  • Upgraded galley appliances and wine storage
The salon becomes a true entertaining space. The galley can be configured for a professional chef. The aesthetic can range from contemporary minimalism to warm, residential elegance.
💡 Professional insight: Align interior styling with exterior soft goods (flybridge cushions, foredeck seating) to create a cohesive yacht identity.

3️⃣ Technical & Performance Customization: Engineering for Autonomy


On a yacht this size, technical decisions are critical.
Frequently customized systems:
  • Higher horsepower engine packages
  • Advanced navigation electronics
  • Lithium battery banks
  • Expanded solar arrays
  • High-capacity watermakers
  • Generator upgrades
  • Integrated smart monitoring systems
  • Stabilization systems (particularly relevant on the EIGHTY 2)
For long-range cruising, we conduct a comprehensive review of:
  • Energy management
  • System redundancy
  • Maintenance accessibility abroad
  • Global parts availability
A 65’+ yacht must deliver luxury — without compromising reliability.

4️⃣ Exterior Living: Maximizing Outdoor Life


On large Lagoon catamarans, outdoor living defines the experience.
Exterior enhancements may include:
  • Expanded flybridge layouts with wet bar
  • Outdoor galley modules
  • Jacuzzi installations (model dependent)
  • Hydraulic swim platforms
  • Tender garage configurations
  • Hardtop or reinforced bimini options
Each choice affects weight distribution, sailing performance, and overall functionality. Strategic planning is essential.

5️⃣ Private Ownership vs. Charter Strategy

A 70-foot yacht configured for private family cruising differs significantly from one optimized for charter revenue.
Private Use
Charter Program
Emphasis on owner’s suite
Balanced guest cabins
Premium bespoke finishes
Durable, easy-maintenance materials
Maximum autonomy systems
Operational efficiency focus
Emotional value
ROI-driven configuration
At Aube Corbeil Marine, we integrate long-term resale positioning into every configuration strategy.

The Customization Process with Aube Corbeil Marine

  1. In-depth lifestyle and usage consultation
  2. Model selection guidance
  3. Technical and design configuration planning
  4. Budget optimization and investment review
  5. Production follow-up with the shipyard
  6. Delivery coordination and personalized handover
Our role is to translate vision into structured, informed decisions — ensuring the final yacht reflects both your dream and practical realities.

Customization Is About Coherence, Not Complexity

A large Lagoon is more than a catamaran. It is:
  • A floating residence
  • A global cruising platform
  • A lifestyle investment
  • A legacy asset
The true value is not in selecting the most options — it’s in creating alignment between lifestyle, performance, and long-term vision.
At Aube Corbeil Marine, we believe a 65’+ yacht should tell the owner’s story — in every detail, from the flooring to the flybridge.
