M/Y CATALANA was designed specifically with safety as a priority. While she still has the sleek and stylish feel of a Sunseeker and is capable of speeds up to 30 knots, this flybridge motor yacht has many safety features discretely added throughout, guaranteeing peace of mind at all times. Built in 2007 and comprehensively refitted in 2018, CATALANA is a modern yacht for charter, well suited to groups of any age to cruise around the Bahamas in style.
On deck, the spacious fly bridge provides more than enough room for a relaxed seating area along with a wet bar and plenty of space for lounging in the sun. Her resourceful storage arrangement provides easy access to the tender, as well as allowing for plenty of onboard toys to be ready for entertaining. CATALANA’s large bathing platform can be lowered up to 1m below water level providing easy access straight into the water.
The attractive wooden flooring in the salon and dining areas gives the yacht a cool, spacious and elegant feel. The tasteful and modern décor throughout the yacht provides an elegant setting whether for dining or lounging, and includes a state of the art entertainment system. Outside on the aft deck, a large table provides comfortable alfresco dining for up to ten people and the enlarged galley with extra storage facilities enables the chef to easily cater for groups of this size and more. Below decks, CATALANA’s versatile cabin arrangements can accommodate up to 10 guests in 4 cabins or a combination of twins and doubles, each with en-suite bathrooms. All cabins are stylishly decorated in neutral tones, and each has its own TV and entertainment system creating a natural environment for relaxing. Both guests cabins also have Pullman berths, perfect for young children.
