For those unfamiliar with the power catamaran concept, the headline benefits do not end at the mentioned space. When I say usable space, you will find many modern monohull motor yachts eager to enhance their styling tend to put curves on everything, to the point you can't put your beer or G&T down on a flat surface anywhere, or find somewhere to sit without sliding off your seat. The Lagoon power answers these little niggles with acres of flat space onboard.
The main benefit, without a doubt, is fuel economy, even with her upgraded powerful 320 hp twin diesel,at 7kn of speed, she is burning 1.2l/hr in total, which can save a significant amount of your fuel bill in comparison to a conventional motor yacht. With these big engines in her, she will do 24kns ... and cruise great at 15-18kn ... from slow and leisurely, burning about as much fuel as a sailing catamaran ... fast enough to get out of the way of weather or make the anchorage before nightfall. With the largest crossing in the Caribbean being under 60 miles ... nothing is more that 4-6 hrs away for this boat.
The catamaran hull also offers a far greater range, making long distance cruising a breeze. Her 1600 LTR capacity will give her a range of over 1300 nm!
Explore those unreachable creeks that many motor yachts would not dare to tread.
There is, of course, the stability factor, fairly insignificant " rock & roll" anchored off the reef in any kind of swell. Of course, the shallow draft enables you to get on the other side of the reef nicely nosed up against the beach. You can even dry out between the tides to give your bottom a scrub!
Well, this one is seriously for sale in the right location, the right condition and by all accounts at the right price.....
The boat owners have looked after this one like their baby and nobody is going to be disappointed once anyone checks her out. The owners have completely re-fitted her at a cost of over $50,000 with new worktops, teak decking, fridge freezers, new air conditioning etc, etc to make her really special. This is probably going to be the best example you will ever set eyes upon, a real “rose amongst thorns”!
The owner is well qualified to understand that any boat needs constant maintenance, was certainly being on top of all on board systems. Everything works, and in tip top condition, leaving nothing for the new owner to worry about.
"Discovery" is not going to be around for long that's for sure, and you will spend a lot of money on air fares searching for one as good as this little beauty, so please, believe me, you owe it to yourself to check this one out before it is too late.
We have had some enquiries from European buyers interested in shipping the cat back to Europe and we have spoken to a shipping company, who can bring it back as deck cargo for around 22,000 USD.
