4-Cabin Crewed Catamaran for Philippines Kite and Sailing Adventures
Modern 4-cabin catamaran with private bathrooms, wide decks and professional crew, optimized for safe beach drop-offs and relaxed living while sailing the Philippines islands.
Made in 2001 by Dean Catamarans in South Africa. She has proven her utmost seaworthiness having already circumnavigated the globe.
On deck, the cockpit is shaded for meals and briefings, and the foredeck is ideal for stretching and watching the sessions. Inside, the galley serves fresh meals between rides, with large fridges and ample storage. Power is supported by solar and generator so devices and cameras can be charged. The boat carries snorkeling sets for non-riding time and a sound system for relaxed evenings.
A professional skipper and crew manage routing, anchoring and daily logistics around the wind. Launch and landing are organized from beaches with clear fetch and minimal obstacles, always prioritizing safety and local rules. The catamaran’s shallow draft allows anchoring close to shore, shortening transfers and maximizing water time.
Designed for small groups, couples and friends, this 4-cabin catamaran creates an easy onboard rhythm, from sunrise coffee to sunset sessions, combining the freedom of a sailing holiday with the comfort of a fully crewed yacht charter in the Philippines.
Cabins are comfortable, spacious have good air flow and a great view. Bed linen and towels are provided. There are fans above each of the double beds and plenty of storage space.
Sleeping arrangements are based on 2 people sharing a room in a double bed or bunk bed. However especially for private charters there are plenty of other sleeping options on the boat, such as the couch in the saloon, cockpit benches, or for those who enjoy stargazing, we have sunbeds on the front of the yacht.
