Six cabins, a hydraulic tender lift and a proven charter record — a walkthrough of a hardworking Caribbean cat.
Filmed dockside in Tortola, this walkthrough of Out Of The Blue — a 2019 Lagoon 50 presented by Staley Weidman — gets straight to the point: “This boat is a charter machine. It does very, very well for the owner.” Configured with six cabins, she’s built for filling berths, and the tour makes a convincing case that she’s been kept up to the task.
The helm and sailplan
The tour opens at the flybridge helm, where a B&G chartplotter sits alongside autopilot display and control, wind instruments, anchor windlass control with chain counter, and twin engine controls and throttle. An electric winch handles the main halyard, mainsheet and the forward self-tacking jib, with traveler controls to the side. The sail wardrobe is straightforward and short-handed friendly: a roller furling Genoa, a 100% self-tacking jib, and a fully battened mainsail running on a ball-bearing mast track. Behind the helm there’s generous lounge space, fully or partially shaded by the bimini.
Cockpit, tender lift and galley
The cockpit is where the charter thinking shows. The dining table folds out and a bench seat slides aft to open a leaf, expanding seating to twelve. A console bar module holds a fridge on one side and storage on the other — a natural spot for drinks or prepping for the barbecue — while the propane locker tucks beneath the steps with room for two 20 lb bottles. Aft, a hydraulic tender lift launches the dinghy and doubles as a dive platform.
Inside, the galley is split across two sides: a four-burner propane stove and oven, microwave, cabinets and drawers to port, and opposite, a front-loading freezer plus two Isotherm drawer fridges with a breakfast-bar surface above. One overhead opening is set up for storage now but could later take a television lift.
The saloon table draws particular praise in the video for its parallelogram leg design, which drops the table from dining height to coffee-table height while extending with a fold-out leaf — described as one of the most innovative saloon table configurations the presenter has seen. The nav station carries a remote multifunction display for the B&G electronics. Ventilation is well handled, with opening ports both sides, a forward saloon window, and blind-equipped windows that open into the tops of the inboard cabins.
Accommodation and systems
Each hull holds three cabins — aft, midship and forward — with the aft cabins the largest and each having a separate head and shower; the midship and forward cabins share facilities. Forward, a bow compartment houses a crew cabin with its own head and shower.
Under the foredeck cushions sits a 13.5 kW Onan diesel generator, run during filming to demonstrate how quiet it is, and sized to carry the air conditioning, watermaker and ship’s systems. Propulsion is a pair of 57 hp diesels with SD60 saildrives, described as in good condition and maintained by the team in Tortola, backed by a new set of Lifeline AGM batteries.
