Yacht Description
Mezzanine, not gimmick. HOUBARA is a 78ft/24m Sunreef sailing catamaran (built 2012, refit 2024) that uses her double-deck layout well, including a smart mezzanine lounge with an open bar so the pre-dinner crowd is not parked in the galley.
Outdoor living works. The cockpit is set up for proper meals with a dining table for up to 8, plus plenty of deck space for lounging and sunbathing. Short version: no one needs to “take a shift” to get a good seat.
Cabins with perks. She sleeps 6 guests in 3 en-suite cabins: a master with a jacuzzi, a queen cabin, and a twin that converts to a double with an additional Pullman bed. Big windows help with the “catamaran cave” problem. Done.
Watersports are covered. Bring the energy: Jet Ski (standup), wakeboard, water skis, paddleboards, donut/towable, snorkeling gear, and scuba diving equipment, plus a 5.5m Zodiac tender for runs ashore and general plot advancement.

Jerome handles navigation, safety and the day-to-day running of HOUBARA, having commanded the Lagoon 560 CAPERIC 4, DARWIN SOUND and the Azimut 62 WHITE PEARL across summer and winter charter seasons. His time as engineer aboard the 100ft LUNAR MIST and 108ft EUGENIA means technical issues are dealt with on board rather than costing you cruising days.

Emanuele plans menus, provisions and runs the galley, working around individual dietary requirements for both guests and crew. He cooked for seven guests and five crew through a 21-day Atlantic crossing aboard the catamaran CARTOUCHE, so stock control over long stretches between ports is familiar ground.
