A catamaran designed for Exploration – Garcia Yachts – ‘NOWHERE YOU CAN’T GO’ THE STRENGTH OF ALUMINIUM AND LIVING SPACE A two-hulled version of the “Exploration” concept, the Explocat 52 combines all the benefits of multihulls for an unequalled result: space, safety, comfort, autonomy and performance. To reconcile what might seem contradictory, to bring together what seemed incompatible, it took all the experience of Garcia Yachts, the know-how of its teams, the intelligence of our partners, architect and designer, to propose a new way to explore the world: the Explocat 52. Twin aluminium hulls with shallow draft, built to withstand all the hazards of the most magical long-distance voyages, with bows that can brave all storms, in complete serenity, the Explocat 52 is perfectly in line with the historical Garcia lineage. Handleable by a crew of two, who are always well protected thanks to the intelligence of its unique design, its generous sail area and controlled weight make the miles scroll like never before, in first-class comfort. A subtle blend of proven solutions and innovations that offer you a truly unique sailing experience, the Explocat 52 is a perfect illustration of the Garcia Yachts’ signature: “There is nowhere you can’t go”. Key elements of the specifications – FROM POLAR EXPLORATION TO THE TROPICS Concept Aluminium catamaran ” Ready for anything ” robustness Fully sheltered pit station Comfort Thermal insulation Great autonomy Forward of the mast exterior cockpit Navigation Short handed sailing Protected cokpit Ability to cope with severe weather conditions Security Ocean crossing capabilities Watertight front and rear bulkheads Saloon integrated wheelhouse Naval architecture Displaying the Garcia Yachts coat of arms on its hull means it perfectly, and in every respect, meets the qualities required of a sailboat designed to sail independently anywhere on the planet. The Explocat 52 is no exception to the rule: design, structure and materials are determined so that you can face the most challenging conditions in complete serenity. With its millimetre-precision deck layout, rigid platform, generous sail plan, serious deck hardware, ergonomic sail handling station offering protection and visibility to a happy crew, the Explocat 52 is the result of thousands of hours of engineering, discussion and reflection, for an exclusive result. And like the carrying capacity, the water or fuel tanks, the energy sources have also been adapted to meet the most far-off sailing projects, the Explocat 52 is THE catamaran setting new standards for unlimited cruising. Interior Design With glazing which offers a panoramic view from every part of the saloon, the Explocat 52 offers all the functional advantages of a catamaran on an exploration yacht. Reaching the northernmost latitudes, the most remote islands, can be achieved in unequalled comfort. Insulation, equipment, woodwork and upholstery are all to the most exacting standards sailors demand from the Exploration range. From the interior helm station, you will of course enjoy the magnificent environment around you, keep watch, and be able to maintain your course on your Explocat 52, nicely warm and dry, whatever the weather may be doing. The dimensions and brightness of the saloon, galley, cabins and bathrooms, in all the configurations offered or in the one you have designed, are unparalleled. Moving around between these different private spaces, or to the outside, directly to the vast aft cockpit, or via the solid watertight door opening onto the forward cockpit, is exceptional. With the Explocat 52, Garcia Yachts has given the multihull a reputation, that of the most beautiful of programmes: that of infinite possibilities.

This is Part 2 of my countdown of the Top Luxury Catamarans in the British Virgin Islands. At #3, Twin Flame 77, a Lagoon 77 with a crew that’s been together over 4 years — rare in the BVI — and loved by repeat guests. She’s $88,000 for 8 guests per week. At #2, Alias 77, another Lagoon flagship and my personal favorite. She’s won 4 awards at Virgin Islands yacht shows and carries the biggest collection of water toys I’ve seen — e-foils, sea bobs, an inflatable Hobie Cat, and even a beach deck. Priced at $90,000 for 8 guests per week, she still has availability in March, April, and May.

Would you navigate the shallowest turquoise lagoons of the Bahamas or test your speed across the open Pacific? Rate this yacht from 1–5 stars and comment below! Seawind 1600 © Seawind Catamarans Length overall: 16.10 m or 52 ft 8 in Beam: 8.10 m or 26 ft 6 in Draft (boards up/down): 0.60 m or 2 ft 1 in to 2.60 m or 8 ft 6 in Displacement: 14,400 kg or 31,700 lb Engines: 2 x 57 hp to 80 hp Fuel capacity: 750 L or 200 US gal Water capacity: 658 L or 174 US gal Mainsail area: 100 m² or 1,080 sq ft Cabins: 3-4 Berths: 6-10 persons The Seawind 1600 is the high-performance flagship of the Australian brand, designed by world-renowned naval architects Reichel/Pugh to deliver exceptional ocean-crossing speeds without compromising live-aboard comfort. Built with advanced vacuum-infused composites including carbon fiber and Kevlar reinforcement, this 52-foot catamaran offers the structural rigidity needed for blue water sailing. A defining technical feature is the fully retractable daggerboards and rudders, which allow for windward precision when deployed and a remarkably shallow 2-foot draft for beaching and thin-water exploration. The deck layout features protected twin helm stations that provide 360-degree visibility while keeping the skipper sheltered under the hardtop bimini. Unlike traditional open-concept catamarans, the 1600 utilizes a two-step transition into a cozy, light-filled saloon that features a forward-facing navigation station and a massive U-shaped galley. With a high-aspect fractional rig and all control lines led aft for short-handed management, the 1600 is engineered for couples seeking a fast, balanced, and safe platform for global circumnavigation. A new factory build typically starts at 1.5 million US dollars. #Seawind1600 #SailingCatamaran #BlueWaterCruiser #HarbourMasters
