A stunning vessel that combines practical elegance and performance. With an overall length of 46 feet, this custom catamaran is hand crafted by the owner. Built like a tank from durable fiberglass, ensuring a robust and reliable sailing experience. Capable of 17 knots under sail she has spent the majority of her life in the Caribbean and down island.
This vessel was hand built in the U.S. by the current and only owner over a 5 year endeavor. Commissioned and launched in 2003 he lived aboard and went on the adventure of a life time. Now it is time to move to hard ground and he had begun to build his home off the water.

Powered by two efficient Beta Marine inboard diesel engines, each delivering 30 horsepower, this catamaran is designed for smooth sailing. The inboard drive system enhances responsiveness, making it a joy to navigate. An electric windlass adds convenience to anchoring, ensuring you can easily enjoy your time on the water. This custom catamaran is perfect for those seeking adventure and relaxation, offering a harmonious blend of space, functionality, and style.
