SV everyday saturday | 2013 Lagoon 450f
$495,000
We’re Brandon & Amber—aka @_everydaysaturday on Instagram, where we’ve shared our full time boat life journey as a family of six. After four unforgettable years, over 15,000 nautical miles, and 21 countries, the time has come for our next chapter—and for this incredible boat to begin hers with the next family.
Our Lagoon 450f has been more than a boat—it’s been home. And honestly? We’d choose her all over again in a heartbeat. We’ve poured our hearts and souls into keeping her ready, comfortable, and fully outfitted for long-term cruising. Refit and upgrades have amounted to $110,000.
She’s never been chartered. Never in a hurricane. Never had an insurance claim. Has only had two family owners. And she’s 100% off-grid ready (we know everyone says that, but she truly is!).
We’ve always viewed ourselves as her stewards—caring for her so she’d be maintained and ready for the next people she carries into the blue water.
🛠 Vessel Overview
-
4 Cabin/4 Head Version
The best layout for families! We found we didn’t need four showers—so we converted two into pantry storage and installed a deep freezer in one (a huge upgrade for storing loads of frozen food). None of these changes are permanent and can easily be converted back to their original function if desired.

Engines
Yanmar 54HP 4JH5E
Port: 3,130 hours Starboard: 3,127 hours
Oil and filters have been changed religiously at manufacturer-recommended intervals. Both engine rooms are clean, dry, and show no corrosion—a reflection of careful ownership and preventative maintenance. -
Solar & Electrical
This boat is truly off-grid ready, powered by 3,000W of solar and a 1,000Ah lithium battery bank. Built with premium Victron hardware and Battle Born batteries, the system can run everything onboard—including air conditioning and major appliances—without ever plugging into shore power.
-
Generator
Equipped with a powerful Onan 11kW generator (only 3,120 hours), this boat has all the backup energy you’ll ever need. It runs quietly, reliably, and powers every major system onboard—perfect for times when the weather doesn’t cooperate with solar or you need some extended air conditioning time. Clean and corrosion free!
-
Tender & Outboard
Comes with a 2023 Highfield 380 Classic aluminum RIB ($8400) and a 2022 Suzuki 25hp 3cyl outboard ($4000). This oversized tender planes easily with 6-8 people and gear—ideal for exploring, grocery runs, and beach days. It’s your second vehicle, as important as the boat, and it’s a good one. Custom protective chaps added 2024.
-
Watermaker - 30GPH
Equipped with a Desolater Duo 100 with both AC and DC motors for redundancy. Completely overhauled in 2023 with a new high-pressure pump, membranes, and all new hoses. This system is built for serious cruising and should deliver years of reliable, self-sufficient water production.
Our favorite upgrades
The galley was a labor of love—Amber’s passion is food and cooking, so we refit the entire space to be bright, functional, and truly enjoyable to use.
The engineered marble countertops bring a clean, modern feel with bright white surfaces that open up the space. We installed a large basin sink paired with a smaller drying sink, an efficient induction cooktop (with a backup still in the box for redundancy), and added ample storage throughout. A custom spice rack by the stairwell keeps your essentials accessible—and adds a touch of personality to this space.
the galley
This vessel is fully off-grid capable, powered by a top-tier suite of Victron hardware and industry-leading components throughout. She’s equipped with 3,000 watts of bifacial solar mounted to a massive stern solar arch. This not only gives the panels the best unshaded view of the sun all day, but also makes an incredible “patio cover” to keep the elements out of the cockpit. The solar is routed through Victron MPPT controllers, charging a massive 1,000Ah lithium battery bank made up of trusted USA-made Battle Born Batteries.
At the core of the system is a powerful 5kW Victron Quattro Inverter/Charger, giving you seamless, inverter-based control of all onboard systems. The entire boat has been wired to run exclusively off the inverter if desired—including the air conditioning, washer/dryer, watermaker, water heater, induction cooktop, electric oven, and more. Shore power optional—this boat runs anywhere. We often go weeks without needing the generator, though we do start it about once a week just to keep it exercised.
So what’s a normal day look like with batteries and solar? We wake up with 60-70% charge and get to about 85% by 11-11:30a. Then I turn on the water maker for a couple hours to top the tanks off (still charging even with water maker running). Then the water heater for 45 minutes if needed. By mid afternoon we’re ALWAYS charged to 100%.
off-grid electrical
Affectionately known as “the office,” the flybridge is hands-down one of the best features of the Lagoon 450F. It’s always the crowd favorite when we have guests or fellow cruisers onboard!
We chose this model after realizing most helms on similar-sized cats could only fit 2-3 people max—this one can fit our entire family, comfortably. To maximize its comfort, we added a custom oversized fiberglass hardtop bimini, turning the flybridge into a true all-weather space. Whether you’re underway or anchored out, it functions like a second living room—catching the breeze, soaking up the view, and giving you full 360° visibility from the helm. It’s equal parts lounge, lookout, and command center.
Between the seating at the helm and the oversized lounge pad up top, there’s space for the whole crew plus any guests to relax, connect, and take in the view together. It’s one of the most social spots on the boat—perfect for morning coffee, sundowners, or just hanging out as a family while under sail.
