Yacht Description
Big cat, real range. NDS EVOLUTION is an 85-foot JFA Chantier Naval sailing catamaran built in 2018, with an aluminum multihull platform designed by Marc Lombard for long-distance, high-performance cruising. Stability is the point.
Outdoor living, solved. The flybridge gives you 360-degree views with proper lounging for long, low-effort afternoons. Up front, there are trampoline beds for sun time and late-night sky watching. Simple, effective.
Water time comes standard. A 16' tender with 60HP makes hopping ashore easy, and the toy lineup is built for days that do not repeat: Seabob, E-foil/foilboard, wakeboard, wakesurf, adult waterskis, towables, paddleboards, kayaks, and an underwater scooter.
Family-friendly cabin plan. She sleeps 9 guests in 4 en-suite cabins: a full-beam master suite with private access to the forward deck, plus two double cabins and a triple cabin with three single beds that’s made for kids (or the friend who snores).
Modern comforts onboard. Air conditioning, Wi‑Fi and Starlink satellite internet keep everyone comfortable and connected, and TVs in all cabins make downtime easy when the group finally runs out of energy.
