? maybe a house you can get a mortgage on?). Boat loans aren't mainstream in and may be hard to get!

Check if you can find a charter base in the willing to charter a 10yo cat for another 10 years. Or willing to charter a tiny Aventura. That is for sure possible but again not mainstream and the deals to be had may not be favourable. Think hard if you really want to be in the charter business.
If its because you honestly can't afford the boat then maybe its not a smart idea.

Going with a VAT unpaid boat imposes a certain risk of being charged VAT plus fines, and spending weeks / months chained to a filthy . I don't think this is likely to happen, but if they get you its a big chunk to swallow and the holiday is ruined. Can you afford to pay 30-35% of boat value on a short notice? Not really a likely thing to happen, but still...


You seem to think the Aventura will be delivered on time, in budget, turnkey and hassle free. I have no experience with but I have some doubts. A will eat lots of time and - they all do.
Think how easy the boat will sell on a short notice. Say you run into financial troubles towards the end of the trip and you need a quick exit. Which one sells quicker and for a more predictable : Aventura or FP/Lagoon/Leopard?


I'd suggest to go with a smaller FP / / .
For 2 (or 3) kids and also for chartering a or small sounds ideal. FP Mahe would be big enough, but won't charter well (too few beds & to few heads).
Bigger will be out of reach for you, or already very old and in need of (and out of budget once refitted).


Budget... You need to figure out a total budget for your sabatical. Not only for the boat but for running it, daily expenses, funds to return back home, funds to keep the boat somewhere after the trip (for a you can spend anywhere between 4k and 20k per year just for a mooring). And don't forget emergencies...
Say a month into the trip you have to spend 4 weeks in an expensive marina in season to get an rebuilt. 5000 for the , 3000 for the marina (exactly what happened to us). Can you handle that without issues? Plus maybe some other unforeseen mishaps that _will_ happen?

Actually I don't think you should try to finance unless you have particular reasons to do that. Not having saved hard enough is not a smart reason. Hoping that the stock market will continue to outpace loan interest is not a smart reason. Actually the only reason I can think of is all tied into real estate that is generating very good income.

Be honest to yourself and think very hard if you can really afford that plan - even if things go wrong. If the answer is no then consider alternatives.
Maybe go with a small / boat that you can easily afford without having to charter it. Does it have to be a cat? I know that its nice to picture yourself aboard a nice modern cat, and a sailing cat is surely nice for long distance travels and in regions with lots of space. But realistically the has expensive (or no at all), very tight spaces even at , very little / too much so sailing doesn't happen as often as hoped for, ...

Most are very expensive in season (a 380 will easily cost 150 Euro per night in high season, or much more in prime locations) and often there is no space available at all for a cat. So you have to stay at most of the time. And constantly watch the and move if does not allow you to stay - even at night. With small kids this can be a challenge.


Spending half a year in the med onboard is only feasible in season. Say May to October, maybe April to November but that can be nasty already. Outside that timeslot its too cold / miserable / wet / windy to with small kids. Think how this fits for your time constraints for the oldest kid and . Maybe postpone elementary school for a year (not a problem typically).



How do I know? Back in 2010 we bought a 410, in 2011/2012 we sailed the Med and the for 11 months, and the boat there to fly back home. Back then we had 2 pre-school kids.

Boat: dream of one
.

After seeing your comments/opinions, that got us rethink carefully. To be prepared for the unexpected, I guess we cannot afford the extra comfort at the moment. Instead we will look for a well-kept used in the 100k Euro range, and leave some cash to spend during our journey.
May I follow up on a couple extra questions? would be convenient? Shallow is quite hard to come by, and it is usually still in the range of 1.7m ?
Many thanks again for sharing your experience/opinions.

for half a year without sailing experience seems like a really really bad idea. It’s just too much hassle and you will spend considerably more than you initially thought.

Just charter for a few weeks at a time and/or buy a for in .

Boat: Lagoon 380 S2
. If you charter a 380 in season you will burn through your budget at an insane rate.


For us our 11mo trip turned out to cost very little: Under 20k Euro for living expenses, , flights, , etc. We are frugal and spent very little on shore. The only boat related costs included here are mooring, and items enough that we haven't tracked them separately.

Any bigger items we accounted as boat costs instead. The boat itself came out even, as we bought a true bargain. Between and selling we made good 15k Euro which covered the and bills during our 18mo . At the end we in a direct no-broker deal and came out within 1k of our cost base.

But: That required a lot of , and a lot of luck.

Imagine we had bought the boat at fair market price and sold her using a .
Fair price in 2010 would have resulted in roughly 15k deprecation, plus 15k & maintenance, and another 15k fee. So being unlucky / lazy the cost could have been 45k Euro instead.

I can't comment on monos. Space is very different already between a 400 and a 380. But I have no clue how big a mono needs to be to give similar room. Maybe 45-50ft to match a Lagoon 380?


.. depends where you are. From November to March you will probably run a heater frequently at daytime, depending where you are (sun helps a lot!). Night time is a different story.
But with really small kids you should have a heater ready for anything but summer. Imagine a kid is ill and you have to stuff him in a cold with no way of for days. Everything will be wet and cold from moisture. Bad idea.



Even if you stretch your budget you can not affort the comfort level you want. a boat to go sailing while your income is reduced significantly sounds like a risky idea to me. If you are honest about your plans and finances no bank will give you a boat loan anyway.

To do a 6mo trip on a nice 200k catamaran I would need 250k cash as an absolute minimum, plus enough income to cover my living expenses. Others may want more or less.

With 60k cash I would be looking at 30-40k . That leaves a small cushion for troubles and will probably buy you a , or a , or some other older cat or mono. Of course this is more camping style than luxury cruising but 60k is not a luxury budget in the world.

an RV may be smarter for a 6mo trip - lower risk, lower cost, easier to get in and out. At the end you can park it somewhere, while a boat will continue to cost lots of money until sold.

from time to time. Our fugality is second to none. If you could managed 20k for 11 months, we can possibly do 10k for 4 months. And the rest of the time in a little .


Perhaps one more question.
If we are looking to acquire an owner's yacht (not excharter), when would be the best time of the year?


A 30-40 footer with lifting may fit our bill.

, and the toddler can sleep in the parent's . More than that is optional IMO.
If you can live in a California then even a 30ft sailboat is big enough.



Think out of the box, like this one:

Maybe its possible to travel the canals to the Med?

Or this one:

Just big enough. Keep in mind: Cost grows exponentially with .


As for best time to buy, I think nobody knows. There are several conflicting theories. Many people say early in as people just received their invoices reminding them that and mooring are costly. Others say that towards the end of the season is when best deals come out.
But on the other hand buying a boat in the middle of the season may also be smart as most buyers already have different plans for the summer, and no time to visit boats.
I just don't know.

Don't be too concerned about . In the med its more important to have enough chain than to have . You are not allowed to anchor close to the beach anyway.
21-06-2019, 06:59  
10m (similar size) for a few years in . It was older and not as snazzy as the Adventura parked across the way from us but it was 25k rather than 200k . You are pretty much guaranteed to lose 25k the second they hand you the keys, so even if we walked away completely from the Catalac, we would still be ahead. It will go all the same places and when you (or the kids) put a scratch in it...it's just another scratch not a huge emotional impact.

With 60k cash, you could buy a similar boat and keep 20-30k in reserve to cover issues and debt free which will take a lot of the stress off. Then when you know what you want, you can upgrade later.

PS: We know a few people who bought new cruising boats...there are still a lot of costs and problems. Even if the problems are covered under warranty, there usually isn't a time limit for repairing them. We had friends on the lose an entire season waiting for warranty . Do you want to risk that for your sabbatical?

option.
May I also ask how long it took you to acquire and sell a boat? Say from 1st contacting selling to paying everything, and from 1st listing the ad to receive money.
As we are stepping into mid-season, I guess we need to look harder now.


@valhalla360
I understand the "baby illness" from new yachts. However, overly old yachts have others problems to be ironed out.
For us, it may be more comfortable to take a loan, get a newish used yacht in the 100k range. After our season, it will be guaranteed to be easy to sell or to charter.

in your cruising, and they will entail significant expenses. Your proposed budget(s) do not allow for such .

It WILL take much longer to find and purchase any boat than you think. The idea of precise timing of the purchase to slot into your plans is ludicrous... it just won't happen that way, just as Rabbi is trying to tell you.

I don't think there are many charter companies that will be interested in your <100K monohull. Counting on that as a get-out plan is naive and fraught with failure modes.

Selling a boat isn't like any other commodity IME. The market place is vague and is driven by emotions and advertising, not value and utility. This means that prompt sales are rare indeed, especially if you are insistent upon recouping your buying price. As Rabbi (a fount of practical IMO_ has said, just keeping a boat in good nick and in a marina so it can be sold by a broker costs a considerable monthly sum... and it has no discrete end point.

So, IMO your plans are doomed, at least as stated. IMO (again) if you want to pursue the dream, it should be in a <50 K$ monohull, to be purchased some months before planned departure. This gives you time to spend another perhaps 10 K$ getting it up to snuff for your trip. I think that budget would get you into a circa 40 foot mono in good enough nick to potz around the Med for a season, with enough slack to deal with whatever "events" might arise.

Of course, the degree of luxury is somewhat (!) reduced relative to a new catamaran. But ya know, we've been cruising for a long time and we've met a lot of young families with kids cruising on way smaller boats and having a hell of a good time,,, and covering far more miles than you propose. Like a couple with two boys, circa 10 and 12 years old, sailing a 27. They had sailed from California two year earlier and we met them in . A year or so later they got to Oz and sold the boat and flew back to the . Compared to your budget they were paupers... but very happy paupers!

So your sabbatical can be done, and on your budget... just not the way you envision it. Please listen to those of us who have lots of miles, have owned lots of boats and who have seen lots of disappointed and sometimes ruined folks who knew better than us.

I hate being a parade rainmaer...

Multihulls: new yacht reviews

  • Toby Hodges
  • January 18, 2019

This looks set to be another thrilling year for multihulls with new models from Dragonfly, Lagoon, Fountaine-Pajot and Dufour and more

Lagoon 46 sailing

Yes, the racing world is stretching the boundaries, with 100ft foiling maxi trimarans tearing around the globe and F50s, the ex- American’s Cup catamarans, now turned-up to sail at 50+ knots for gladiatorial-style stadium racing. But it’s the production monohulls, growing ever more popular among cruising sailors, that are pushing this industry forwards.

The sector is a constantly bubbling melting pot of new ideas and models – some of which we explore in this Multihull Guide. In fact, the multihull market has grown so much that the world’s largest boatbuilder is launching its second catamaran range to appeal to younger, sportier sailors.

Dragonfly 40

Dragonfly 40 render

A new 40-foot flagship has been unveiled by Denmark’s folding trimaran specialist Dragonfly. The boat won’t reach the public eye until the Dusseldorf Boat Show in 2020, but we already have a good idea of how she will look and perform.

“The project has been influenced by past owners who moved up to larger multihulls for greater space, but reported missing the fun factor of their previous Dragonfly,” explains UK dealer Al Wood of Multihull Solutions. “Our owners and potential clients report that they don’t require more cabins when away cruising, but would welcome more living space below plus greater cockpit space for day-sailing with friends.”

The cockpit has been the focus of much of Dragonfly’s design work, with twin wheels and an optional bathing platform transom. It is also wider than on previous models, allowing sail controls to move aft for easier short-handing, and giving easy access to the stern for Med-style mooring.

The mast is in lightweight carbon – 18.5m tall for the Ultimate version of the boat or 16.5m for the Touring edition. Displacing just 4.9 tonnes in her ready-to-sail state, the boat is forecast to be capable of speeds up to 24 knots. Other details are scant at the moment, except that Dragonfly is putting the emphasis on easy handling. The trademark folding crossbeams give her a beam of just 4m, down from her full span of 8.5m. The folding process slightly increases her length – from 12.1m to 13.5m. At this size, the boat is clearly not trailerable, unlike her little sisters, but with the Quorning yard’s high reputation, expect scintillating performance.

Price: From €425,000 Contact: Dragonfly

Dragonfly 32 Evolution

Dragonfly 32 sailing

Dragonfly has given the performance variant of its popular 32-footer a makeover. The old Supreme will be replaced with the Evolution, which sports a new wave-piercing float design and 20 per cent more buoyancy to make the boat more comfortable in strong winds and tougher conditions.

Interestingly, the mainsail has been trimmed by around 2.5 square metres, making the rig less powerful, but Al Wood of Multihull Solutions says that this was in response to the greater hull buoyancy. “The mainsail has a slightly reduced roach compared to earlier boats to alter the balance of the boat, which changed as these new wave-piercing floats generate significantly more righting moment with less immersion than the original design.”

The rudder section is slightly improved, to resist stalling in extreme conditions, and the new boat will premier at Dusseldorf this year. Pictured is the first 32 Evolution sailing and with the first of Dragonfly’s contemporary new Elm interiors. Price: from €276,800 Contact: Dragonfly

Lagoon 46 sailing

Lagoon says greater comfort is a key goal of its new model, the 46. The French yard has charged former Renault designer Patrick le Quément with the task of meeting owners’ expectations about comfort in a market where the ‘cruising experience is becoming a lifestyle’. The design team at VPLP has made fundamental changes to the successful formula of the old 450. Chief amongst these is moving the mast of the 46 further aft on the coachroof. As a result the jib becomes a self-tacker, and the larger forward triangle offers a greater choice of downwind sails. The boom has been shortened and the main has a higher aspect, reducing pitching.

The flybridge helm has been centred and sits directly behind the mast, which means that the footwell protrudes slightly into the cockpit below – something that has been disguised by turning it into a deep frame for the sliding aft windows of the saloon. There’s a sliding stool in the cockpit, and a hydraulic bathing platform.

Italian designer Nauta has made efficient use of the available space with queen-sized beds in all three (or four) cabins, plus a stylish-looking saloon. At 16.6 tonnes displacement, this is no lightweight racer, but it will get you to your destination in comfort.

Price: from €433,000 Contact: Lagoon Catamarans

Sneak peak: XCS by Beneteau

Excess XCS multihull render

In the hotly-contested 40-something foot category, the Groupe Beneteau team behind Lagoon and CNB luxury monohulls is carving out a new cat brand called XCS. It is pitched at younger, sportier sailors with the tagline ‘be immoderate’. That translates in part to a bigger sailplan than ‘standard’ cruising cats, and with a higher aspect ratio – that is, tall and thin. This positions the mast further aft and allows a self-tacking jib.

The boats will also feature twin aft helm stations, in contrast to many production cats. “It is the ideal position to keep an eye on the sea and sails, whether windward or leeward, and above all, it provides the most sensations at the helm,” explains project director Bruno Belmont. He also says that having a low boom close to the bimini will increase the mainsail’s performance. There will be plexiglass in the hardtop for a better view of the sails, or the option of a fully retractable bimini. Snippets of video posted online hint at a longeron between the bows offering a tack point for reaching and downwind sails. And the hull has heavily bevelled topsides with a striking chine just above the waterline, as well as generous curved hull lights. Three interior layouts will be available, with pared down furniture to save about a tonne of weight. It all adds up to a boat that should be faster than the standard cruising cat, though short of the “super fast” technical offerings from the likes of HH and Gunboat. “We want to be on the sporty side of the main cruising cat brands,” adds Belmont. “It won’t be an elitist range, but a brand where you get more sailing pleasure.” There will be five sizes from around 36ft to 50ft, and the first two models will be launched at Cannes Boat Show in September.

Prices:  close to similarly sized Lagoons. Contact: Excess Catamarans

Fountaine-Pajot 45

Fountaine-Pajot 45 exterior

The French bluewater cruising cat specialist has continued its range refresh with a replacement for the hugely successful Helia 44, which has sold 260 hulls since 2012. The new 45 was drawn by Berret Racoupeau, and is slightly bigger in all dimensions. In line with current trends, it offers more creature comforts but at the cost of nearly 1.5 tonnes additional weight than the Helia. That is partly offset by a larger 74m2 main and by a lower wetted surface. “It means a higher top speed and more comfortable under engines,” says marketing manager Helene de Fontainieu.

What you get for the extra weight is compelling. The bulkhead helmstation has been remodelled to improve line handling. Inside there is a bigger saloon with a huge galley down the port side and a dedicated navstation aft. There’s the new 8.5m2 forward lounging space, a barbecue in the transom seat and the option of a hydraulically lowering ‘beach club’ (swim platform and tender lift). There are still sunbeds on the coachroof, and a seating area on the flybridge. The designers have introduced more light, with extra glazing in the saloon and  the cabins. The 45 hits the water in the summer. Price: €419,000 Contact: Fountaine-Pajot

Update: Gunboat 68

Gunboat 68 multihull exterior

After years of development and design work and over a year in build, the first Gunboat 68 has emerged from the yard at La Grande Motte, southern France, and will be launched in late January. Hulls two and three are also in build. Fresh details have emerged about the design itself. The hull is finished with paint rather than gelcoat in order to save weight, and to allow customisation to continue long after the boat emerges from the mould. Hull one is painted in dark silver Awlcraft, containing real flakes of metal. Meanwhile, the interior finish is super-light fabric panels that can easily be removed and offer a degree of insulation as well. “The bulkheads are, in effect, triple glazed,” says Gunboat COO William Jelbert.

The high-aspect, heavily raked rig comes in performance cruising and regatta versions. In the first, the boat will only fly a hull in more than 20 knots of true wind, whereas the racing rig achieves this at 16 knots with a rotating mast that is 4m higher. Velocity predictions suggest the regatta rig will perform 12 per cent better upwind and 20 per cent better downwind.

Gunboat also went back to basics with Jefa to design the steering system with the help of Michel Desjoyeaux. The 25kg carbon blades are fully retractable, sacrificial in the event of a collision and the whole system is designed to support T-foil rudders in the future. Look out for hull number one at the BVI Spring Regatta. Sailaway price: €5.5m Contact: Gunboat

First look: ITA 14.99

ITA 14.99 catamaran sailing

A combination of sharp design, punchy performance potential, comfort and build quality brings plenty of appeal to this sporty new Italian-built cat. Its light displacement of 10.5 tonnes (fully loaded 13.5 tonnes) is impressive thanks to an E-glass epoxy-infused build with carbon strengthening. “She’s reactive and stiff,” said designer Francois Perus during its debut at Cannes Boat Show, adding: “as soon as there’s a bit of wind she just wants to go.” The layout will suit those wanting to actively helm. I like the position of the helmstations, with optional swing-out wheels, which give good forward views over the low coachroof. A central aft winch is employed for halyards and reefing lines, which helps keep the cockpit clear of lines. Despite the lightweight composite build, weight is permitted where it will aid comfort, such as with the use of proper glass windows surrounding the coachroof and resin worktops in the galley. Elsewhere furniture is built in sandwich balsa with a teak veneer finish. Price: €890,000 ex VAT. Contact: Ita Catamarans

Dufour 48 Cat

Dufour 48 exterior

Designed and built in Italy, the first Dufour catamaran was hastily finished in time for the Cannes Boat Show last September. “This is the only cat of this size with a proper flybridge” said Umberto Felci on showing me his new design, “which is divided into three areas of driving [single helm], seating and sunbathing”. The flat coachroof top is huge, which, together with the flybridge seating is designed to act as a second cockpit. The aft position of the mast meanwhile creates a sizeable area for a self-tacking, non-overlapping jib. There are nicely proportioned amounts of space inside for the cockpit, main deck and galley. I like the island worktop around the mast base to extend the galley. Guest cabins each have their own companionway entrance.

Price: TBC Contact: Dufour Catamarans

Sunreef 60/80 


Sunreef 60 and Sunreef 80 exterior

Sunreef is a ‘small family business’ that has grown to its current €50m turnover, said CEO Francis Lapp. He was addressing at least 30 journalists on the aft deck of the first Sunreef 80. The boat is the queen of a new range that sees the Polish firm targeting the large charter market of 50ft–80ft crewed cats (around 80% of Sunreefs go to charter). Business is booming, according to Sunreef, which says it has sold eight of the new 80s, eight 60s and ten 50s off the plans. Sunreef already has 500 employees and is looking for more to help meet this incredible demand.

The amount of space on offer on the new 60 and 80 has to be seen to be believed. The designs feature enormous open-plan saloons and adjoining cockpits, which are designed with very little fixed furniture – allowing them to be customised or to double as party lounges. And the flybridges, mostly with Jacuzzis, offer alfresco dining areas and yet more sun lounging space (oh, and the helmstations). The first 60 to launch is a charter version with five guest cabins, while the privately owned 80 has the largest owner’s cabin I’ve ever seen on any size sailing yacht.

Price: Approximate pricing is €2.2m for the 60 and €5m for the 80. Contact: Sunreef Yachts

McConaghy MC60

McConaghy MC60 on water

The MC50 stole the show when it launched at La Grande Motte in April last year. Just four months later, McConaghy was back with its second Jason Ker design, the MC60, at Cannes Boat Show. It’s very much the larger sister and similar design to the MC50, sharing many of its standout features, including the aft flybridge helmstations, hydraulic centreboards and the sumptuous open-plan saloon and galley. Its main benefits come down to volume and length. “You get more waterline length for not much more weight,” says Ker of the MC60. There’s more empty bow space and a lot more volume. The British designer also thinks it’s a size that can still be owner-operated – indeed there’s not even a dedicated crew cabin option. McConaghy says the helm set-up, with its full views over the bows, suits those who want to sail the boat by themselves without a crew. The question remains how comfortable this position may prove in a seaway. The Design Unlimited interior is styled to suit each owner. The first boat has a very pale finish with light oak veneer masking the foam sandwich build. Again it’s the huge electric opening side windows and three longitudinal skylights in the saloon that help provide the overall wow factor.

Price: €2.15m ex VAT. Contact: McConaghy Boats

Bali 5.4 sailing

Never has a catamaran of this size offered so much living space. Bali takes its outdoor/indoor concept to a whole new level with its new flagship 55-footer. Similar to its previous designs, Bali uses an open one-level saloon, galley and aft cockpit area, with a garage-style glass door that swings down to close off the aft when required. The flybridge is also enormous, with the majority of space given to leisure area, however the boom is pushed up high and there’s only one helmstation. Accommodation space is also vast, stretched to both ends of the hulls. A solid deck is preferred to a trampoline to help increase foredeck cockpit space and forepeak cabins. Two aft compact cabins meanwhile, accessed from the aft deck, also help maximise the number of cabins available. These use clever doors that hinge up like car bonnets, which will likely only suit fair weather sailing. The four main transverse double guest cabins in the central hulls, meanwhile, are simply enormous.

Jump to Aventura Catamarans For Sale

Since its creation in the early 2000s, Aventura Yachts has specialised in composite design and construction. Historically a builder of light sailing catamarans for coastal camping, Aventura Yachts has seen its range grow. The shipyard quickly became known by the yachting industry thanks to the resumption of the Camping Cat 23 and the Diabolo 28, renamed Aventura 23 and 28.

In 2007, Aventura Yachts began its first modelling operations and launched its first model entirely designed by the shipyard, the Aventura 20. Three years later, the Aventura 33 was founded. The 33-footer, wholly developed by the shipyard’s design office, Aventura Yachts, confirmed its capacity for innovation and its modelling skills. Only 2 years later, in 2012, the shipyard continued its growth and launched the Aventura 43.

Initially based in Tazarka near Nabeul in Tunisia, it was in 2015 that the shipyard acquired a new, very modern factory in Menzel Bourguiba near Bizerte to respond to a substantial increase in activity for the Aventura Catamarans brand.

Constantly looking for innovations, Aventura Yachts will launch its first fully engineered model in 2016.

At the end of 2017, the shipyard announced a complete renewal of the Aventura Catamarans range for 2018 with 2 new models. In addition, now in constant collaboration with Lasta Design Studios, the shipyard announces the launch of a new Power model in 2019: the Aventura 14. Aventura Catamarans now offers the Aventura 37, 37 DC, 45, 38 SC, 38 MY and 50 MY.

Fair winds!

Aventura 37 (France)

Aventura 37

Why wait 12+ months to get sailing? This one will be completed and ready as early as Spring 2025!  

Aventura Catamarans has once again entrusted Lasta Design with the exceptional Aventura 37 Sail.  The result lives up to the desired ambitions: purity of lines, treatment of interior and exterior spaces without equal on the market.

The Aventura 37 is distinguished by an elegant and dynamic silhouette, unique on the catamaran market of less than 12 meters: the roof has a double seat at the helm station, close to the sunbathing area for perfect conviviality, the steering station helm located as close as possible to the sail plan allows perfect control of the sails for performance.…

Test / Aventura 37, a sailing catamaran that is neither afraid of the open sea nor of cruising

The Aventura 37 was launched in 2021 by the eponymous shipyard. This 11 m long catamaran offers 2 to 4 double cabins. We had the opportunity to try it for a video presentation in the Winch show.

Built in series by the Aventura shipyard , the 37 is a cruising catamaran intended for a couple or a family in an owner's version (3 cabins), but which is also proposed in a charter version with 4 cabins and 4 heads. Its specifications are to offer a safe and simple navigation for those who want to reach the open sea without complications.

To design it, the shipyard took into account the remarks made on the other models and in particular the ergonomics of the helm station. From now on, the helmsman is installed on a bench seat which frees up a space in front, dedicated to maneuvering. Thus, helmsman and crew can maneuver without getting in each other's way.

Especially since for performance reasons, the jib is not self-tacking. It must therefore be eased and reeled in at each tack. Fortunately, the electric winch option makes the job easier!

Even in rough seas like the one we tested, the Aventura 37 passes well and does not get wet. The proof is in the front sunbathing area, which remains dry despite the waves .

At the helm...

This catamaran has elegant and modern lines. There are many sunbathing areas on the foredeck, under the deckhouse near the cockpit, and also on the deckhouse just under the boom and accessible on starboard by a staircase from the catwalk. The circulation with the interior staircase gives direct access to the maneuvering station without going around the skirts. It brings a real feeling of security while sailing.

The access to the engines is done from the skirts by independent boxes. The engine chocks are large and the mechanics accessible.

The cockpit is spacious with a large teak table. We appreciate the ENO plancha option available at the back for nice parties at anchor .

Moving in...

In its owner's version, the cabin occupies the entire starboard hull. It can be isolated from the saloon by a sliding door. An office area is ideal for quiet work. And above all, the majestic forward dressing room is surprising on this size of catamaran .

On the front of the hull, we discover the toilet, a beautiful bathroom in this case, which is really spacious.

The kitchen faces the cockpit. It is well equipped with a large refrigerator that offers a good volume of cold , complemented by numerous storage spaces. A modular saloon table and a real chart table, the nerve center of the boat , complete the layout.

  • Description
  • Visite virtuelle

3 years ago, AVENTURA YACHTS introduced the A50MY, paving the way for luxury cruising. Today, we’re proud to present the A54MY, the fruit of the shipyard’s own technical and design evolution. This new powercat takes up the recipes that have made the brand so successful and original: distinctive design, safe cruising, generous living space and clever accommodation.

With the A54MY, we’ve improved performance with more powerful engines up to 2x550hp, redesigned the hulls for more comfortable cruising, and enhanced the exterior space by creating a huge convertible aft deck worthy of the great luxury yachts; never seen before on a boat of that size.

More details will be revealed in the next months and before the launch scheduled for spring 2025. In the meantime, contact your AVENTURA YACHTS dealer for more details. Stay tuned.

Virtual tour, aventura 37 review by toprik team.

The STGi shipyard and its famous brand Aventura Catamarans have successfully passed the 20-year service milestone. A gift for the anniversary for all the fans of the cruising catamaran Aventura was the new Aventura 37 model. The catamaran made a splash among connoisseurs, became a nominee for a prestigious award (due to the pandemic, the International Multihull Show did not take place that year, as you remember), and in the very first days the shipyard received dozens of production applications.

We can honestly say that almost everybody in topRik team became a fan of the shipyard's catamarans, in particular - this excellent work of multihull sailing art - Aventura 37. This catamaran is one of the most in demand vessels right now - the true value king, considering all its features and the price. So it is only natural that we carefully studied its capabilities before offering it for sale.

Lots and lots of comfortable space

When we were first introduced to the Aventura 37, we all noticed the impressive hull shapes that taper towards the waterline. We were pleasantly surprised by the very large windows in the freeboards. I immediately wanted to check the illumination inside, but there is a time for everything...

Review Aventura 37

What impresses you immediately upon boarding the cat is the extraordinary, very comfortable space for work and life, with a vessel less than 40 feet long. You see the soft furnishings without stretches and wobbles and big comfortable bimini with barbecue sitting. And lots and lots of teak - stairs to the left of the cockpit, large table, shelves in the cockpit, furniture and cupboards.

Review Aventura 37

As we got inside the saloon and into the cockpit, we realized that this time the architects and designers of Lasta Design Studio did a great job of creating a multi-tiered space that is convenient for everyone - lots of light, everything fits nicely together and no sharp edges in the saloon too - everything is curved and safe. There’s a full size refrigerator freezer with tons of storage space and a built in TV in the saloon too - on a 37 feet vessel! Additionally to teak wood colors and creamy white you get some chrome fittings here and there, which really add to the overall visual experience. This cockpit looks really classy inside for a 268.000 euro starting price, that’s for sure.

Review Aventura 37

For all the cooking needs, there’s a cute little shiny sink, lots of cupboards everywhere, an oven and a table with a large window right in front of it, so you don’t have to cook in the shadows. There are two burners available - a big one and a small one. Everything is very well integrated and nothing really bugged us about the production quality.

The navigation devices are situated left of the cooking table with integrated burners with comfy cushioned sitting place.

Down the stairs - to the cabins

From the cockpit you go straight down to the cabins - each step is lighted by staircase inbuilt lights. It feels a little bit narrow here, but, considering the size of the catamaran, it’s justified. As you come down you notice the curved edges everywhere - it is really the language of the design all over the cat - and we are not complaining. The bulkhead edge near the bunk in the aft even has a soft cover - it would be quite a challenge to harm yourself here no matter how clumsy you are. Matte cover finish and gloss finish are top notch all over the place.

Review Aventura 37

So we got to the cabins. Our captain highly appreciated the owner's cabin, which he seized entirely for sole use. Why would he not - the cabin occupies the entire right hull and it is separated from the rest of the saloon with a sliding door. There is a double island bed, a wardrobe, lockers, an individual shower room and a toilet room.

The rest of the team did not complain either, they were freely and comfortably accommodated in two cabins with individual berths and bathrooms.

Review Aventura 37

The layout of other cabins depends on whether the purchase of Aventura 37 is intended for a family holiday, a cruise with a large group of friends or for organizing a charter. We'll talk about it below after you've seen all the benefits of an ocean cruiser.

The windows in all cabins are quite big, so you get a lot of natural light near the sink and counter. The berth to the left of the stairs has two windows - one on each side. The toilet and shower don’t have any exposed plumbing and is also very well lit thanks to multiple hatches.

Ok, let’s go back to the saloon. Only as we climb up, we notice that the stairs lack some fitting high-class finish on the edge, but nothing is perfect.

You can also start your acquaintance with the Aventura 37 from the transom, climbing higher and higher: into the cockpit, then into the saloon or even higher - to the flybridge. And don’t miss the opportunity to walk across the deck to the bow, where you can have a great time soaking up the sun.

The skipper will be pleased

Let’s get to the helm from the saloon now, which, interestingly, is placed on the port side together with the line-handling area. This way helmsman and crew do not get in each other’s way during maneuvers.

The decent performance and organization of the space for the crew on Aventura catamarans has been known for a long time - we are not surprised to find it here too. The impressive speed traditional for this line is combined with excellent maneuverability and stability of the boat with all the controls right at your fingertips as you climb from the saloon using curved (of course) stairs.

Review Aventura 37

The separate area for line handling has cushy seats, cupholders, robust Harken winches and very clear colors of different lines out of the box. The helm itself is big enough for two people. The steering wheel is very responsive and easy to control with one hand. As for devices - all the necessary stuff is there, but for extra charge you can get a Garmin chartplotter, which never disappoints. The view from here is pretty much unobstructed except for a small blind zone to the right of the wheel.

Review Aventura 37

Right in front of the helm you get your rigging - furling genoa with hole points on the cabin roof, lazy bag, double spreader. Optionally, you can get a symmetrical or asymmetrical gennaker, depending on your sailing taste. The jib is not self-tacking, so you will need to ease and reel it in at each tack, which is not that difficult thanks to electric winch.

You can get to the engines from the skirts by independent boxes and have access to large engine chocks and all the mechanical parts. 

Home comfort

Initially this model is intended for a couple or even for a family in the owner's versions with 3 cabins. The charter versions have 4 heads and 4 cabins. It’s only 37 feet, yet nothing really bugs you in terms of convenience and spaciousness of the saloon, especially in the aft, compared to similarly priced cats.

Review Aventura 37

As we get onto the fly lounge using the stairs next to the helm we are, again, pleasantly surprised - the sun pad for the vessel of this size is quite spacious too, with comfortable seats and pillows. You even have the front sunbathing spots at the foredeck and under the deckhouse near the cockpit, which all stay perfectly dry during sailing thanks to the high freeboard.

Review Aventura 37

We have already noted that the architects and designers perfectly planned the space. Thanks to their craftsmanship, a cruise catamaran has become, depending on its purpose, a floating comfortable hotel or a 37 feet long cozy home.

Regardless of the purpose for which you buy an Aventura 37, those on board will get a lot of the cruising options that superyachts provide. The difference is only in the number of passengers.

There are many cozy places for recreation and entertainment, as well as privacy if necessary. Overall, at your service are:

  • large deck saloon with natural light and excellent visibility;
  • roomy cockpit with dining table, sofas and grill;
  • spacious solarium in the bow, where mats and cushions can be placed;
  • U-shaped seating area with soft sofas above the cockpit;
  • sunbathing area on the cabin roof;
  • spacious master cabin and cabins for passengers and crew (depending on the layout - 3-4 cabins with 2-4 toilets).

Overall, we can say one thing - it will be difficult to beat this value king catamaran for quite some time now, considering all the features it has.

Benefits of Aventura 37

Multivariance - 4 possible layouts.

This is a hallmark of the latest models of many shipyards. But in the range of 37-foot catamarans, the Aventura 37 is breaking records again. There are 4 options for cabins only:

Standard version - 3 cabins & 2 latrines

Review Aventura 37

Trio version - 3 cabins & 3 latrines

Review Aventura 37

Quatro version - 4 cabins & 2 latrines

Review Aventura 37

Charter version - 4 cabins & 4 latrines

Review Aventura 37

There are two optional packages with additions - Easy Sail and Comfort. Here you can choose options for sailing equipment, rigging and other yacht equipment.The choice of engines and electrical equipment, electronics, kitchen equipment, furniture and finishes is provided.

With each new catamaran, the architects and designers of Aventura Catamarans demonstrate new achievements in quality. Aventura 37 was no exception. The sea cruiser was created using both proven materials and innovative technologies.

This latest model from STGI is completely built by pouring Airex foam, fiberglass and polyester into mother molds to create a sandwich matrix. Among the materials that have been proven by many years of practice and used in the construction of a new cat are waterproof wood, epoxy resins, A4316ISI stainless steel.

The catamaran is equipped with electronic equipment from the leader in this field - Raymarine. Sailing equipment is provided by Elvström, mast equipment - ZSpars, yacht rigging - Spinlock and Harken.

Quality is directly related to safety. All the ideas of architects, constructors and designers are rigorously tested during the manufacturing process to ensure the safety of the crew and passengers in the most difficult sea situations, including bad weather and even solo sailing.

Review Aventura 37

Sandwich panel technology is the best choice for catamaran hulls, as the strength characteristics of sandwich composite structures are significantly superior to other options used in sailboat construction. The underwater part is also made in the form of sandwiches up to skegs, which were made using monolithic fiberglass. This design eliminates the osmosis process and significantly extends the life of the catamaran without repair.

As for safety of the crew onboard, we already mentioned curved edges, reducing risk of injury. What would be a really good addition, in our opinion, is somewhat higher railings to prevent man overboard situations.

The high performance of the new sailing catamaran of the Aventura range is achieved by combining the quality of the design and selected equipment.

Review Aventura 37

Sandwich design allows you to significantly reduce the weight of the boat without compromising strength characteristics - thanks to this design the boat can boast a good sail area over displacement rating - 24.1. This provides it with increased maneuverability and improves speed. At the same time, constructive innovations provide excellent balance and stability even with strong side waves.

The Aventura 37 has quite a high freeboard compared to something like Nautitech 40 or C-Cat 37 and really wins over both of them with a sailing area of 94 square meters. It has a fly lounge and the other two don’t - and at a lower price! The 37 has also quite narrow hulls in comparison - 10.90m by 5.94m.

The chosen technology for the manufacture of the body allows for almost ideal ergonomic characteristics of the Aventura 37. In their own words, their philosophy is to combine the innovations in quality, safety and performance into a perfect mix.

Reviews of Aventura 37 by professionals

Francois Xavier Ricardou

Announced a year ago, the Aventura 37 is coming to market in a particularly neat version. This cruising catamaran advertised at an enticing price has the means to carve out a lion's share.

Aventura 37 became a surprise at the Cannes boat show. Not a surprise regarding the appearance of this new model which had already been announced for a long time, but a big surprise in terms of the quality of the model presented to visitors.

The Aventura Catamaran shipyard has nothing to be ashamed of for the quality of its service compared to other major competing brands. From now on, the Aventuras count and are very likely to make a good share of this multihull market.

The Aventura 37 stands out with its asymmetrical deck. To port, the helm station and access to the foredeck and its large sundeck. And to starboard, a gangway which is partially occupied by a sunbathing area aft, directly linked to the cockpit.

It's smart, because all these living or maneuvering spaces don't get in each other's way. In addition, access to the cockpit in front of the helmsman frees up maneuvering space which is thus always accessible. Note also the large space for sunbathing on the deckhouse. Belted for comfort and safety by backrests.

Inside, too, the layout is smart. We particularly appreciated the starboard hull proposed for an owner. While the berth is traditionally at the rear and the bathroom at the front, it was the good idea of housing a real dressing room in the central portion. It's smart and offers accessible and aesthetic storage for the occupants.

But more than the fittings or the organization on board, it is above all on the quality of construction and finish that the yard has really taken a step forward. The materials used, the quality of the gelcoat and the on-board equipment (including the Empire Bus digital switching electrical installation, fully controllable from the Garmin plotter).

All these details show the yard's desire to offer up-to-date and well-made sailboats. Especially with a base price that remains ultra-competitive in this size of catamaran. A good start for this model which targets the heart of the cruising catamaran market.

Francois Xavier Ricardou (yachtsman, Bateaux.com journalist, 11.10.2021)

Rohan Veal

In Rohan Veal’s words, LASTA Design studio has outdone themselves once again, changing the game. Even though it’s less than 40 feet long, it has all the ingredients of cruising catamaran and also decent performance unlike cats with similar price tag.

With the length of 11m the space wasn’t ignored - it has a 260 lt fridge, dishwasher and many cupboards. Fitted wardrobes are present in every cabin and the master cabin has a dressing room. It’s easy to organize all the equipment thanks to large chests.

What’s unique about performance is that Aventura 37 has the sail control pit with HARKEN winches and fittings separated from the helm station.

Thanks to the sailing area of 94m2 it will easily outperform most 40’ cats and with comfort too - it has a lot of relaxation areas such as rooftop sun deck, plancha site and outdoor saloon which can fit eight people.

A37 completes the range inserting itself between the A44 (nomination for the 2020 Catamaran of the Year) and A34 (which was nominated for 2019 European Boat of the Year).

Aventura 37 is available in four different versions, including with 4 cabins and 4 bathrooms, which is very unusual in this size.

Video reviews of Aventura 37

You will also see the first miles under the asymmetric spinnaker cruising catamaran Aventura 37 at Canet en Roussillon with journalist and yachtsman Philippe Echel.

The selection also includes representative video reviews, which give you enough information about comfortable life and sailing control on board the Aventura 37.

Some words about the creators of Aventura 37

Whether you are a passionate newcomer or an experienced sea wolf in the yachting world, you might not be very familiar with relatively new bright brands like Aventura Catamarans. We think it makes sense for us to give a little information about the people behind the model 37.

Aventura Catamarans since its creation in early 2000s were focused on construction and composite design and began their path from making light coasting catamarans. What propelled the brand to the highest level was Aventura 20 - the first model entirely designed by them. The next hit came only three years later and was called Aventura 33. And with Aventura 43 the brand truly solidified its place in the multihull world.

In 2015 the huge boost to production was achieved as the brand's manifacturing shipyard acquired a new modern factory in Menzel Bourguiba near Bizerte to satisfy growing demands of their clients. Since then the shipyard greatly extended their range and now provides models Aventura 37, 34, 44, 10 and 14 Power.

We have detailed all the features of the latest ocean cruiser from STGI shipyard. Well-known testers, yachtsmen and journalists were involved as witnesses. It remains to summarize and draw conclusions.

Review Aventura 37

In our opinion, the Aventura 37 cruising catamaran has the excellent qualities of a comfortable floating hotel or cozy home for a very affordable price. Moreover, comfort extends to both passengers and crew members. Although in this case the team may be limited to one person, the cat is still simple and obedient to manage.

You can safely buy an Aventura 37 catamaran for the following purposes:

  • family holidays - with the layout of the cabins Standard or Trio;
  • cruising with a large group of friends - Trio or Quatro cabin layout;
  • organization of charters - with the layout of cabins Charter.

Regardless of the destination, all passengers and crew members aboard the Aventura 37 will feel the quality of the build, will appreciate the lack of sharp corners, great material coating and a lot of light. Everybody gets the maximum freedom of movement while relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, during some “me” time solitude, as well as while sailing - and all that at comparatively low price. The value of the purchase is really remarkable. Well, done, Aventura Catamarans!

Leopard 43 catamaran.

The Leopard 43 is a popular cruising catamaran. The well thought out, comfortable design, and ability to sail short-handed makes an ideal blue-water cruising boat. Built with a high standard of construction, they are good value for money on the used catamaran market. 

Table of Contents

DESIGN – INTERIOR & EXTERIOR

The Leopard 43 is a comfortable and reasonably fast passage maker able to be sailed short-handed. Based on the award-winning Leopard 42, the Leopard 43 is designed by Simonis and Voegd and built by Robertson and Caine, a large South African builder. These catamarans were built in two configurations, one for owners and one for the charter market. The owner’s version, called the Leopard 43 has three cabins and three heads. While the charter version, named the Moorings 4300, has a fitout of four cabins and four heads.

A solidly constructed hardtop provides good protection in the cockpit for enjoying life on the water. The hardtop also offers a convenient location for the solar panels and the traveler to mount to, reducing clutter in the cockpit. One unfavorable aspect of the design of the Leopard 43 is the bridge deck, which has a low clearance with the water and is known to slam in rough seas. Strong davits securely hold the dinghy, which is mounted on a full walk around duckboard on the transom. This is a practical design and convenient during sailing and provides excellent access to the tender and ocean at anchor. With a total of 74 Leopard 43’s built between 2004 and 2007, they remain a popular catamaran and don’t last long in the used catamaran marketplace.

Sailors on the Leopard 43 have easy access to the water with the large duckboard and the large sugar scoop steps. These would be very useful for entering the water to go snorkeling or pulling your freshly caught fish aboard. An outdoor shower is located at the port scoop is ideal for rinsing off afterward. There is plenty of room on the aft rail for the grill to be mounted.

Upfront, seats are mounted on the pulpit, creating a nice space to sit and watch the world go by or for enjoying sundowners. And the trampolines are a good size for both comfort and safety. Grab rails are mounted on the cabin top and are convenient when moving along the deck.

The helm is located on the starboard side with excellent visibility and protection. It is enhanced by a windscreen Bimini that attaches between the cabin rooftop and the hardtop for bad weather. The entire cockpit area has adequate protection from the hardtop, and clears can be rolled down quickly if poor weather were to arrive. The table in the cockpit has a wraparound lounge and can seat eight, using two additional seats. Most lines are run back to the cockpit and helm with an electric winch providing the muscle power. Additional winches are located on the mast.

Entry into the saloon from the cockpit is over a seaworthy raised bulkhead and through a large opening door. The adjacent side of the door are folding panels that open out for further ventilation and space. A thoughtful design in the cabin is the louvered forward windows, which provide very good protection from the sun. And the forward windows incorporate opening hatches for ventilation.

The lounge is located starboard, seating six with one on a moveable seat, and ample space is available for dining or cocktails and relaxing. The table does go down for extra sleeping berth, with the cushions stowed away in the port side v-berth. A large amount of convenient storage space is available underneath the lounge seats, perfect for food and drinks.

The U shaped galley is mounted up and forward on the port side. They are comprised of two sinks and a very thoughtfully recessed dish drying rack, which would be perfect for securing dishes while sailing. The separate fridge and freezer, two burner stove and oven with lots of counter space makes cruising life on this catamaran very comfortable. A chart table and navigation station is located on the starboard side. The wiring can be easily accessed behind the comprehensive electrical control panel at the navigation station.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The accommodation offers comfort and privacy, with ample room for guests to join in the adventure. The owner’s versions consist of three cabins and a single v-berth in the bow, with the owner’s berth taking up the entire starboard hull. Conveniently, a door closes the owner’s berth from the salon area for privacy. The other option, the charter version has four double berths and two single berths in the bows. The double cabins are spacious, with a private head in each and storage provided underneath the queen-sized beds. 

The berths are equipped with shelving, cabin lights, reading lights, ventilation fans, closets with hanging space, and the owner’s cabin area also features a desk. Some berths have air conditioning, and depending on the model, it can be controlled separately for each berth. Removable ceiling panels are fitted throughout for ease of inspection and maintenance.

Overall, this catamaran has a well-designed and well finished interior fitout.

Aventura 33

Fitting what would be found in an 11 or 12m catamaran into one measuring less than 10m is the challenge Martin Defline and Aventura Catamarans have tried to take up. And with a neat design and a low price into the bargain. For the builder, which until now was used to re-using existing moulds, this is also the first real new boat.

Boosted by its gennaker, the 33 speeds up. But this sail can’t be used when sailing close to the wind.

The self-tacking jib is a delight shorthanded, especially as the boat tacks very easily. But in light weather, it lacks power.

Harbour manoeuvres are carried out from the port side, next to the engine controls. First surprise: the builder has adopted a control box fitted athwartships. Forward is to starboard, astern to port. You have to get used to it! And in an emergency, it would be best to reflect for a moment before giving full throttle on the wrong control. Apart from this particularity, which would benefit from suitable adhesive marking, the Aventura, propelled by its two 14hp engines, can be manoeuvred rather easily. Obviously, similarly to all cats with high freeboard (that of our 33 is equivalent to the height of a good 38), you have to beware of strong crosswinds.

Test Aventura 33

The fins, even short ones, prevent beaching if the beach is not really sloping. Beware: the shape of the 33’s appendages doesn’t facilitate getting away in reverse when you touch.

Bright sunshine and a light breeze in La Rochelle: our outing aboard the Aventura 33 was exactly like our first sail two months earlier at La Grande Motte. The Martin Defline design was actually presented to the public for the first time in the Languedoc port, at the Multihull Boat Show. Taut, modern lines, two-colour decoration, which shows off t...
