Description
An evolution of the Catana 59 and 62, of which several examples are criss-crossing the oceans, the Catana 53 is the culmination of research by CATANA’s R&D team. It sets new standards in exceptional and luxury models. The skill of using “CARBON INFUSION” and “TWARON IMPACT” technologies, which today are used on every Catana, make the Catana 53
as light as it is tough.
With maxi hulls, inverted bows, curved daggerboards, a “flush” interior design which is even more luxurious and carefully soundproofed, this boat gives its all to the pleasure of sailing at the speed of the wind, in absolute comfort and complete safety.
At the forefront of semi-custom yacht building, the Catana 53 is a boat with performance well above the average. The architectural concept, the high freeboard, maxi hulls and curved daggerboards have been the hallmark of the
Catana yard for more than 30 years. The large bridgedeck clearance allows the Catana 53 to remain comfortable at high speeds, even in big seas.
Extensively tested and perfected, the new hulls achieve even better results than those of its predecessors, whose reputation is already well-established. Today the Catana 53 is the most high performance and safest cruising catamaran in its class. Sleek design, cockpit and saloon on the same level, modular and extendable, lounge area with day bed. The interior layout
of the Catana 53 innovatively sets new standards of comfort and offers an absolutely unique living space, with the galley either U-shaped or with an island, its wider passageways, and even more spacious cabins.
A never-before-seen level of comfort, always at the service of performance, and even with 360° visibility, whether at the helm, in the cockpit, the saloon or at the chart table. With 3, 4 and 5 cabin versions available, the Catana 53 can
easily accommodate 8 to 10 people very comfortably on long passages even at full speed. A spacious interior, light and well thought-out, giving a range of possibilities for the interior layout. The Catana 53 provides exceptional comfort, whether for a trip round the world or for a summer cruise. Whichever
version you choose, the comfort seen in each cabin is worthy of the biggest superyachts: mirrors, quality woodwork, desk, dressing table and storage with drawers, natural light and background LEDs and a private bathroom. And everywhere a sea view!
