We knew would be hard, but didn't realize just how hard until now. They say the two happiest days in a boat owner's life are the day they buy and the day they sell. Honestly, we think that's a load of crap. For over three incredible years, Honu wasn't just our boat-he was our home, our protector, our partner in every wild, beautiful, exhausting, magical moment. Letting him go feels less like selling a boat and more like saying goodbye to a piece of our soul. It's like losing a family member. We lived every single day on Honu. He carried us through unforgettable places, countless "firsts," impossible challenges, and moments of pure awe. We laughed, we cried, we swore at him, and we thanked him. We cared for him, and in his own way, he took care of us right back. It was love, plain and simple. But as many of you know, a new chapter is calling. We're stepping into a new adventure as professional captains, joining an amazing family aboard their brand-new sailing yacht. And as much as it hurts, we knew we couldn't give two boats the love and care they deserve-not the way we do things. So, with hearts full of gratitude, we passed Honu on to a new family. The moment we met them, we saw that same spark-that hunger for adventure, that love for the water-and we knew they were the ones. Honu is in good hands. Goodbye, Nu. Thank you for everything. We'll see you out there. ???? Get Honu'd

? Discover our full test in Multihulls World N°200: https://www.multicoques-mag.com/essais/catamaran/swiss-cat-55-glamour-et-efficace ? Aimed at the high-end day charter market, this powercat was designed by Yacht Design Collective and Damien Bovie Design. The renders of the 3D images were already giving the effect... but then actually on the water, here we are aboard a catamaran worthy of appearing in the next James Bond movie! The layout is 100% day charter, with an extra-large nacelle - completely open at the stern and towards the bow-rider thanks to a glass door, which can remain open in fair weather. Modular seating throughout, an off-center helm station to starboard and... that's enough. Each hull is nonetheless fitted with a double berth, plenty of storage space and a heads compartment. The one-off composite construction by Chantier Hervé (no need to introduce them in La Rochelle!), these stripped-down layouts and the absence of a hydraulic platform ultimately translate into a displacement of just 11.5 tons. The twin FPT motors, each rated at 500 HP, have little trouble propelling the Sunmare at 30 knots. On board, the Sunmare's excellent ability to more through the and careful attention to soundproofing are particularly noteworthy. Maestro, as this boat has been named, will be operated by Croisière Exclusive out of Porto-Vecchio in Corsica for the 2024 season. Other Sunmare 50s could join it... Full test in a forthcoming issue. ?
