New Catana 47 Lighter Hull Stable Build Assures Quality Performance Yacht Charter, St Martin

Catana 47 new light expanded hull and deck infusion build, matched by solid interior comfort styling, steers a stable bareboat charter to French Caribbean, St Martin.

Relaunched at the end of June 2009 to replace the Catana 46 and featured in the 2010 Cannes Boat Show, the new 15.70m, twin helmed Catana 47 catamaran is a superlative example of over 25 years of retained, marine craft values of excellence from the French boat builders of nearby Paris and Perpignan. A reduced weight hull, deck, bimini, and bulkhead with large sail and aerodynamic dagger board styling delivers enhanced, family sailing holiday performance to windward.

A warm, mahogany interior and expansive, spacial contouring comfortably allows an 8 -10 berth accommodation in 4 double cabins, 2 single berths and 4 heads/showers, ideal for family, skippered yacht charter. Extra large angled windows ensures a light filled and relaxed below deck experience.

Catana 47 catamaran's clever mix of practical space and large sail performance makes a seasonal or all year round Caribbean yacht charter to the ‘Friendly Island', St Martin, an irresistible choice. Ocean travellers can explore the powder white sands of Orient Bay with coral reef snorkelling, the French flavoured, capital city Marigot, luxury brand boutiques of Fort St. Louis and ‘gingerbread' architecture of Grand Case fishing village.
