SY Yara is not just a catamaran: it is a rare example of German craftsmanship, expedition-level engineering, and proven reliability across all seas worldwide. Designed by the renowned naval architect Stefan Schulz and built by Baltec Engineering GmbH, this Visiona 40 embodies the philosophy of boats designed for safe ocean crossings, with efficiency and comfort.

Its full epoxy wood construction provides exceptional structural rigidity, excellent thermal comfort, and long-term durability, far superior to traditional mass-produced catamarans.

What truly sets Yara apart is its outstanding pedigree: it has completed two and a half circumnavigations, proof of its robustness and meticulous maintenance. Yara is an exceptionally well-prepared cruising catamaran, fully autonomous and ready for a new round-the-world trip without major additional investment
