Overview
About this vessel
Set sail aboard Sankalpa, a privately owned 2007 Lagoon 500 that perfectly balances comfort, reliability, and autonomy for serious bluewater cruising. Built on the proven VPLP design and never chartered, this Malaysian-flagged (Langkawi) catamaran lies in Phuket in excellent condition. Maintained with care by a knowledgeable owner, Sankalpa is a rare turnkey opportunity for anyone seeking long-term liveaboard or ocean-crossing capability.
Her layout offers exceptional space, with four ensuite queen cabins, each with private showers, electric Jabsco heads, and holding tanks—plus a dedicated crew cabin with its own shower and toilet, a valuable feature rarely seen in this model. The saloon welcomes you with 2.2m of headroom and panoramic views, creating a light-filled, social heart of the boat.
The galley has been thoughtfully upgraded for long-term, independent living. It features 2 fridges (galley and cockpit), a large stainless steel deep freezer, Ariston four-burner gas stove, Nardi oven, LG microwave, and triple stainless steel sink—all supported by a high-capacity Quick 60L hot water system, and protected by a 2024-certified gas alarm.
Designed to thrive away from the dock, Sankalpa is equipped with an Eco watermaker, 9 solar panels, 6 x 220Ah lithium house batteries, a Mastervolt inverter/charger, and a Cummins Onan 5kVA generator with only 829 hours. Power management is seamless, and life aboard remains comfortable whether you’re island-hopping or on a multi-week passage.
Under sail, she’s well-rigged with new sails (2024), a self-tacking headsail, and Harken winches, including two size 60s at the flybridge. Her dual Yanmar 75HP engines were fully refurbished in 2024 and show only ~1,000 hours each. A Raymarine electronics suite includes HybridTouch chartplotter, autopilot, AIS, and Axiom fish finder with bottom scanning, giving you full confidence in unfamiliar anchorages.
From her solid ground tackle (Rocna 55kg anchor with 100m chain) and reliable Lewmar windlass, to her spacious cockpit, rigid bimini, and elevated flybridge helm, SANKALPA offers both security and style at sea.
If you’re seeking a true liveaboard cruising catamaran, set up for self-reliance and ready for her next ocean adventure, Sankalpa is the one to inspect.
