A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck is an inviting expanse, sheltered from the sun yet open to the sea breeze. Here, the aroma of a freshly grilled lunch from the BBQ mingles with the salty air. Plush seating invites lingering conversations over morning coffee or sundowners, while the gentle sway of the yacht provides a soothing rhythm. An outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse after a swim, ensuring comfort and convenience before stepping back into the cool interior.
Saloon Sanctuary
Step into the main saloon, a bright and airy haven where natural light streams through expansive windows. The interior is a symphony of polished wood and soft furnishings, offering a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. A discreet television screen provides entertainment for quiet evenings, whilst the indoor audio system, with its iPod dock, sets the perfect mood for any occasion, from lively gatherings to tranquil moments of contemplation.
Foredeck Panorama
The foredeck offers an exhilarating sense of freedom, a vast, uncluttered space perfect for sun worship or stargazing. Recline on the comfortable sunpads, feeling the warmth of the Caribbean sun on your skin as the yacht glides through the waves. The panoramic views from this vantage point are breathtaking, offering an uninterrupted vista of the horizon and the shimmering turquoise waters below, a truly immersive connection with the ocean.
Helm Station Command
Observe the art of navigation from the helm station, where the skilled crew expertly guides the yacht across the open water. The sophisticated controls and gleaming instruments offer a glimpse into the vessel's capabilities. Feel the gentle vibration of the deck underfoot as the yacht responds to the helm, a testament to her custom design and robust engineering, ensuring a smooth and confident journey even at her impressive top speed.
Galley's Heart
Though often unseen by guests, the galley is the vibrant heart of the yacht, where culinary magic is meticulously crafted. Here, the crew prepares exquisite meals using the freshest local ingredients, transforming simple provisions into gourmet delights. The efficiency and precision of this space ensure that every dish served, whether a light breakfast or an elaborate dinner, is a testament to the yacht's commitment to exceptional service.
Accommodation
CATA offers a sanctuary of rest for four guests across three thoughtfully appointed cabins. The master suite, a private retreat, boasts ample space and refined finishes, promising serene nights at anchor. Each cabin is a haven of comfort, featuring individual climate control and carefully chosen linens. The layout ensures privacy and tranquility, allowing guests to unwind fully after a day of Caribbean exploration. The elegant design extends to the ensuite facilities, where attention to detail creates a spa-like ambience, ensuring every guest feels pampered and refreshed.
Culinary experiences aboard CATA are a celebration of fresh, local flavours, expertly prepared by the dedicated chef. Each meal is a bespoke affair, tailored to individual preferences, whether it's a vibrant breakfast spread on the aft deck as the sun rises, or an intimate candlelit dinner under a canopy of stars. The scent of grilled seafood from the BBQ often drifts through the air, tempting the palate. Dining can be enjoyed al fresco, with the gentle sea breeze as your companion, or within the elegant saloon, offering a refined setting for more formal occasions.
While CATA does not feature a dedicated gym or spa, the yacht itself serves as a profound setting for rejuvenation. The gentle motion of the sea, combined with the fresh Caribbean air, provides an inherent sense of calm. Stabilisers ensure a smooth ride, allowing for undisturbed rest. Guests can find tranquility on the sun-drenched foredeck or in the peaceful saloon, embracing the natural rhythm of the ocean for holistic well-being.
The turquoise waters of the Caribbean are an invitation to play, and CATA's collection of water toys ensures endless enjoyment. Glide silently across the glassy surface on paddleboards, exploring hidden coves and observing vibrant marine life from a unique perspective. For playful moments ashore, a selection of beach games is always on hand. Floating mats provide a relaxing way to drift on the sea, soaking in the sun and the serene surroundings, enhancing every moment spent in this aquatic paradise.

What a yacht like CATA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on CATA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 17m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
