Yacht Description
Built for water days. AWATEA is a 63ft Balance catamaran built in 2019 and refit in 2024, set up to keep eight guests busy without turning the deck into a waiting room.
Toys that matter. You get an E Foil and wingfoil for the fast learners, plus three sea scooters for easy longer snorkels and exploring without burning the legs. Add a wakesurfer, surf board, and a Sea Biscuit when you want speed with less technique required.
Easy in and out. A floating dock with centre net and a swim platform make swim stops simpler. Shoes off. Repeat.
Proper cabins for eight. Four guest cabins sleep 8 in a clean layout: two king cabins and two queen cabins, all with en-suite facilities.
Stay connected or don’t. Starlink internet and onboard Wi‑Fi are there when you need them, and a projector with outdoor cinema turns the evening into a low-effort movie night.

AWATEA is a wonderful custom-built catamaran with a Kiwi crew — perfect for a proper sailing adventure, flying the spinnaker, catching fresh tuna, and staying active in the water. She can take up to 10 guests when some are kids.

Awatea: A Performance Catamaran with Perfect Balance
Captain Fraser and Chef Olivia discuss the Awatea's design, performance, and the unique experience of chartering in the British Virgin Islands.
Performance usually means speed and comfort when you're actually out at sea, like where it's rough and where it's windy.
Captain Fraser 0:18
It's a balance catamaran is the name, and it's a balance between performance and comfort, and they've tried to get that perfect balance with this boat.
Captain Fraser 0:39
The biggest comment we get is when people walk aboard and they're just blown away by what it's like. They just did not expect all of this: the size, the space, the comfort, all the toys that we…
