“Shangri-La” refers to a mythical paradise—an idyllic, hidden sanctuary untouched by time or the troubles of the world…
True to her name, Shangri La is a stunning 2016 52′ Lagoon sailing catamaran that offers a floating escape unlike any other. She features three beautifully appointed queen cabins, each with a private ensuite bath complete with electric head, vanity, and separate shower, blending comfort and tranquility for every guest. Her spacious salon provides the perfect setting for lounging or dining, while her generous outdoor spaces invite you to bask in the Caribbean trade winds. Enjoy alfresco dining, unwind on the top deck seating area, lay out on the floating mat with a cocktail, or retreat to the forward lounge behind the trampolines—a hidden nook made for true relaxation.
Whether gathering as a group or seeking a quiet moment alone, Shangri La offers space, serenity, and luxury—an unforgettable haven on the sea that brings the legend of paradise to life.
