A closer look
The Aft Deck Sanctuary
Step onto the expansive aft deck, a seamless extension of the saloon, where the gentle sea breeze and panoramic vistas become your constant companions. Here, the aroma of a freshly grilled catch from the BBQ mingles with the salty air, inviting al fresco dining under the vast oceanic sky. After a refreshing dip, an outdoor shower awaits, rinsing away the day's adventures before evening cocktails are served as the sun dips below the horizon.
The Main Saloon Haven
Within the main saloon, a cool, air-conditioned sanctuary awaits, offering respite from the midday sun. Plush seating arrangements provide comfortable vantage points for engaging conversation or quiet contemplation, all while remaining connected to the breathtaking views outside. An integrated indoor audio system sets the perfect ambience, whether unwinding with a book or enjoying a lively evening with fellow travellers. The thoughtful design ensures a sense of relaxed sophistication.
Foredeck Lounge & Trampolines
The forward deck is a realm of exhilarating freedom and serene repose. Sprawling trampolines invite sunbathing, stargazing, or simply feeling the exhilaration of the ocean rushing beneath. This expansive area is perfect for morning yoga as the sun rises, or for enjoying an aperitif as the catamaran glides effortlessly across the water. The open space fosters a deep connection with the surrounding marine environment, a truly invigorating experience.
The Swim Platform Portal
The integrated swim platform serves as your private gateway to the azure depths of Oceania. Effortless access to the water is guaranteed, whether plunging in for a refreshing swim or preparing for an afternoon of aquatic sports. It's the launchpad for adventures, from paddleboarding to kayaking, ensuring every guest can easily embrace the ocean's allure. This dedicated space enhances the joy of direct interaction with the marine world.
Upper Deck Vista
Ascend to the upper deck, where an elevated perspective reveals the full grandeur of the oceanic landscape. This commanding position offers uninterrupted 360-degree views, perfect for spotting distant islands, observing marine life, or simply absorbing the vastness of the horizon. It’s an ideal spot for navigation enthusiasts to observe the captain at the helm, or for those seeking a quiet moment of reflection under the open sky.
Accommodation
CATALYST boasts four meticulously appointed cabins, designed to provide a restful retreat for eight guests. Each cabin is a private haven, offering plush comfort and serene aesthetics, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep after days filled with exploration. The intelligent layout maximises natural light and provides ample storage, maintaining an uncluttered elegance. While there isn't a dedicated master suite, each guest cabin is finished to an equally high standard, ensuring every occupant experiences the same level of luxury and privacy, fostering a sense of shared indulgence throughout the journey.
The culinary journey aboard is an integral part of the experience, with meals prepared to your preferences and inspired by the fresh, local bounty of Oceania. Enjoy gourmet breakfasts on the aft deck as the sun rises, or savour a leisurely lunch crafted from the day's catch. Evening meals can be elegant affairs in the main saloon, or casual barbecues under a canopy of stars. The dedicated chef crafts bespoke menus, catering to every palate, ensuring each dining occasion is a delightful celebration of flavour and setting.
For those who wish to maintain their routine or simply invigorate their senses, a compact gym area offers a selection of equipment for light workouts amidst stunning ocean views. Beyond dedicated exercise, the catamaran itself promotes a sense of well-being; the expansive decks invite morning yoga sessions as the sun rises, while the gentle sway of the ocean provides a natural, calming rhythm, fostering deep relaxation and rejuvenation.
The ocean is your playground with CATALYST's impressive arsenal of water toys. Dive into adventure with floating mats, kayaks, and paddleboards, perfect for exploring secluded coves. For the more adventurous, kite board equipment, a kneeboard, a towable tube, and a wakeboard promise exhilarating rides across the waves. The yacht also carries big game fishing gear, inviting guests to try their hand at landing a trophy catch, ensuring endless aquatic entertainment for all on board.

What a yacht like CATALYST costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on CATALYST is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 18m 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.
