Catana 50

XBOAT ref :6206.
Always very popular on the fast cruising catamaran market, this CATANA 50 from 2011 was managed for charter from 2012 to 2016 by Dream Yacht Charter in Martinique.

A complete refit was carried out during the first six months of 2017 to repair the shortcomings of the charter and upgrade its equipment so that it became a safe and comfortable vessel for a long-distance cruising program. This program was limited to exploring the Caribbean archipelago, the Atlantic USA, and Atlantic Canada, as it was interrupted by COVID-19. A cargo repatriation during the pandemic brought it back to the Mediterranean.

A set of sails from 2017 including mainsail, solent, and gennaker allows for quite dynamic navigation with perfect visibility thanks to the two helm stations on the cockpit console at the rear. The two keels offer excellent upwind performance.

LOUARN is a 4-cabin version, with two aft cabins with separate beds that can be converted, and 2 forward, each with a bathroom. The saloon is bright, with light wood finish, featuring an open U-shaped galley facing the cockpit, very functional and well equipped. It faces the main chart table, located forward, and a L-shaped salon with a foldable and telescopic table.

In terms of equipment, it meets the needs of long-distance cruising with a generator, desalinator, solar panels, fridge and freezer, ice maker, and a full electronics package including Iridium, etc. The two Volvo 75 hp engines allow for reasonable consumption of 4.5L/H each at 7 knots.

In short, a vessel that has been through a lot but retains all its potential for a new navigation program at a very reasonable budget! More information and photos on the site xboat.fr
