$378,392Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe
Overview
This Catana 42 from 2015 is a high-performance cruising catamaran designed to offer a rare balance of speed, safety, and comfort on offshore passages. Designed by Christophe Barreau and built by the Catana shipyard using a carbon, Kevlar, and GRP infusion process, it benefits from a lightweight, rigid structure perfectly suited to demanding offshore sailing. Equipped with lifting daggerboards, it combines a shallow draft, ideal for anchoring in remote spots, with excellent upwind performance and reassuring seakeeping in all conditions. Its performance hull and generous sail plan make it a fast, seaworthy catamaran, built for long crossings as well as fast coastal sailing. The interior layout offers 4 double cabins and 2 bathrooms, with a particularly bright panoramic saloon thanks to excellent visibility at 360°. The onboard layout is designed for long-term living, with a fully equipped, functional galley, plenty of storage, and optimized natural ventilation, enhanced by several fans. This Catana 42 is fully self-sufficient and equipped for long-distance cruising: watermaker, substantial solar power generation, recent lithium batteries, comprehensive Raymarine and Garmin electronics, and a recent hydraulic autopilot. Together, these form a modern, reliable energy and navigation system suited to offshore sailing. The rig and sails are well maintained, with a fully battened mainsail, a recent roller-furling genoa, and efficient handling equipment that allows sailing with a reduced crew. The two Volvo Penta D2-40 engines are regularly serviced and provide reliable, proven propulsion. A well-kept vessel, regularly updated and…

The 2015 Catana 42 for sale is a sailing catamaran located in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Listing specifications give it a 41-foot length, 22.64-foot beam, four cabins and two heads.

The listing also describes lifting keels and onboard solar power, lithium batteries and a watermaker, details worth reviewing alongside the boat’s configuration and equipment inventory.
For a closer look, buyers can ask how the lifting keels operate, what is included in the solar and watermaker systems, and what records are available for each engine and its differing reported hours. The listing identifies Raymarine and Garmin electronics, but buyers should confirm the installed equipment and its operation.
