11:24 PM Saturday 21 December 2024. Thank you sir for sharing beautiful catamaran to us. Hi 👋👋👋 from Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@joelw2023]

The minimalist in me can dig it. I'm hung up on the helm being completely exposed to the elements, however. Turning the nav station 90° to forward facing would do wonders. Also getting rid of the forward cabin and making it a 2 cabin/2 head floorplan would be nice. I think 3 cabins is a bit much for a cat this size. Under 6' headroom, especially the 5'6" in the hulls, makes it a huge compromise for liveaboard status. Maybe a weekender, but not made to circumnavigate.

[@chad5617]

Thats my biggest complaint, could totally see myself on this boat but I'm 6 feet tall...that is why I am excited for the Aventura 37.

[@brianbirc]

Joel Whiteside I agree the headroom should be 6 to 8 inches higher but 2 cabins and heads maybe a head and a half but I would like 1 nice cabin with more other space. I am not wanting to spend long times sailing with another couple or guy at sea. If another female or 2 sail with for a bit they do not have their own room and bed. A couple places to sleep for one person is not bad.

[@jesper1406]

The navigation station is fine for me. I would have a swivel chair there, and then looking out the front window isn't obstructed by the screens. 95% of the time this boat would be sailed by me and my wife. I need a little workspace more than the third cabin, and why have two heads and showers for that rare occasion you have someone visiting. More that can break, more to maintain. The height, well what do you get for €157.000 plus tax. If you are unhappy, buy one of the €500.000 competitors... I could live with a lot worse for this kind of money ..

[@henrye718]

Right dimensions to keep it stable in bad conditions.

Want more head room need more width and length.

[@davidvalentino9401]

correct me if I am wrong but looks a fair weather cat, no internal bridge or place to be sheltered when the weather comes up.

[@muskietime]

Many catamarans have helm positions that are not sheltered. Most folks use autopilot and keep watch from below for better visibility. Of course, one could always build a shelter around the helm as done by Owners of many catamaran builders.

[@KristianAlekov]

Looks very spacious and livable for being a 33 feet! Wow!

[@craybro]

Just watched a video of a marine surveyor in Australia methodically going through all the things that haven’t lasted on one of these. They appear to be cheap because they skipped on quality. As a current catamaran owner I wouldn’t go near one of these

[@sebastianjuric2125]

Perfect one for Greece or Croatia... navigate around island's and discover bays

[@NMIBUBBLE]

I like to see a little more tech for the ropes/sails, one touch buttons would do wonders in sailing alone, sure it's fun to do but after awhile it gets a little to much possibly a navi helper that's connected to the tech so if you wanted to get some shut eye, push a button and the tech takes over, allows you to sleep, cook, relax etc. while keeping you on track maybe some screens in the saloon, rooms, and head to allow you to see what's going on too. and looks like they need a captains chair cover for those raining/storm days to allow shade and protection against anything that's coming your way too. Just a suggestion.

[@opcn18]

It's amazing how much more space there is for accomodations when there is only one head.

[@CatamaranChannel]

Yes i agree 100% I think that they should do that kind of a thing on every cat. 1 toilet and shower in every hull. Would make allot more space for other things. Thanks for watching!

Put a Bimini over the the helm and that would be okay and you can also put some kind of covering on around it also but it would also be a good to sail the Florida Keys and possibly over to Bimini Island

[@inpersonaDK]

Cool mini multihull. Thumbs up!

[@TraneFrancks]

I'm not a fan of the CE B rating. I'm disinclined to buy a cat that is limited to coastal cruising. If I did want a small coastal cat, I'd probably go for a TPI Lagoon 35ccc, which has a much better cockpit/helm design for piloting in inclement weather. Interesting to see an inexpensive build, though. I'll be interested to see how the quality holds up over time on boats from this yard.

[@potcrak1]

What do you think of the Gemini Legacy 35 Trane? Just curious since a pal is buying one.

[@TraneFrancks]

@@potcrak1 I'd prefer trampolines up front, but other than that it's a really nice looking little cat. I really like galley-down and the owner's hull makes nice use of space. If you're just a couple out, the different hull layouts means you can find a bed that matches the sea state. Shaft drives, a beam that fits in a regular mono slip ... lots to like in that one.

[@potcrak1]

I had to give this a like and post a comment just for the fact that you don't take kindly to stupidity. I love the replies to some of the dumber comments. That said, this boat MIGHT be on my radar if it is available in different finishes. Those interior colours are depressing to me. I do like the large windows in the hulls. It helps brighten up the gloomy spaces. The salon looks comfortable and the cockpit is well laid out. I would be interested to see how one sails. Does it have stub keels? Very little information is available on the company website.

they are so close to a true pilothouse boat i dont see why they dont build one.do the forwad hatches like a mainecat and rout all the lines into the salon ,that area where the nav station is could house the wheel,a little rearangement to the setee is also called for ,that would make it a good northern weather cruiser

[@omega2469]

I wonder if it is possible tyo convert this one to be fully electrical,,,, It might have more power and endless sailing with no trouble

[@beunhaas102]

I'm pretty sure you will find you have a lot more trouble with electrical motors and a single generator to feed it vs. 2 separate diesel engines.

[@omega2469]

@@beunhaas102 but I think you would have a kind of unlimited distances to cover unlike diesel where you need to stop for refuel

[@beunhaas102]

@@omega2469 How do you figure? This is a tiny boat, you will be out of fresh water, black water storage, fresh clothes, cold storage food and so on long before you ever need to top up your diesel tank, you would be a pretty crappy sailor if you didn't. And the only thing that is unlimited with a full electric boat is the misery. The reality is that it is a huge challenge in itself just to generate enough power for the onboard systems so you don't need a gen set (which just about now is getting more feasible). To also power the engines electrically you would need to produce even more power. If you want (near) unlimited cruising Diesel engine(s) is what you are looking for, a full electrical boat will only offer highly limited cruising. Just reed Jimmy Cornells story about his failed "Elcano challenge", he is a highly experienced and capable sailor who tried (but failed) to sail the world with his brand new purpose built full electric Outremer (a boat that is probably 10 times as expensive as this Aventura if not more).

Jenny Mossa hi Jenny, a great boat. Tried it once, very fast and versatile (17 knots). Is it for far distances? No. The water tanks are minimal and not lots of fuel. But for that price it’s good. I would be willing to recommend you other boats for similar price which could be better depending on the distance you would be planning to do. Thanks. Cheers, Michiel. (Beneteau Oceanis 62 sailor) so my opinion may be different to other boat sailors.

Good value for the price. This is not a boat to sail the southern ocean in 30ft seas but it's not meant to be. It's a floating condo in the Bahamas and for that purpose it will be a great competitor to the fence sitting monohull folk looking to switch at a fair price. Only thing I would like to see is solar panels installed and lithium batteries but that may outprice her.

Quick question.... How many people got decapitated by the boom while sitting in the upper helm seat? Asking for a friend. Other than the unintentional guillotine built in to the boat....it's pretty awesome.

[@muskietime]

Every racing monohull had a boom that could “dent ya”! Higher the boom, the higher the Center of Effort. Was on a long-distance sailboat race where the Owner had a heart attack. Then, one of the crew was knocked unconscious by the boom. Owner died, crew couldn’t be airlifted due to the weather. Bad night and then next day for both!

Not impressed with the height of the rear swim platforms versus the height of the main deck, I feel that it's too low and can allow the boat to get swamped

[@silentstormstudios]

Definitely not bad for the price, but I don't consider a 34 foot cat to be a long term live-aboard. I could maybe see this as a nice weekender boat. Even 40 foot cats feel too cramped for me to consider living on one for extended periods of time. I think 46 feet is really where long-term live aboards start, where you start to feel like you have enough space to not be claustrophobic. Is this boat rated for off-shore passages (i.e. ocean crossing), or is this just intended as an island hopper.

[@5amH45lam]

Can you imagine being on _this_ catamaran in the middle of the Pacific, with _that_ soundtrack playing at full blast, on repeat, with no way to stop it? Twin-hulled, long-distance, live-aboard torture.

When I am on the water I will hear halyards rattling, leaf blowers while at anchor....all pet paves of mine.

[@bdtrap]

This is an outstanding fit for an underserved - albeit small - market: single-handed or couple cruisers who have the bucks to spend on "refit" monohulls but prefer the galley-up, stable-at-anchor, shallow-draft, blahblahblah of a Catamaran and don't care if they have a second head (altho an option on this boat, if I invite someone onto the boat for a week, we likely know them well enough to share a bathroom). I'm not taking my family or my high school graduating class on this boat, but for 1..3 people this thing is brilliant (for 4 people, yes, get the second head but then you lose storage space). Yeah, it's not even 37 feet, and it's B-rated; but I'd take this from Florida to Bimini on a good weather window, then cruise those islands for a few months on my way down to Dominican Republic and eventually the leewards and windwards. A few "mandatory-to-me" extras would drive up the price: overhead cover at the helm, repositioning the anchor to the front of the boat, and maybe some solar panels and upgrades in the bathroom. But I could cruise it regionally while I save up the cash to do that. A generator and watermaker would be nice if there's room, but this thing isn't going to be 3 weeks on an ocean. If I need all that, this isn't the boat I need. Maybe I'd get A/C on the owner's hull. I sure would like some options on the colours in the bedrooms, but that's also something that can be changed post-purchase. The cabinetry doesn't look top-notch-quality, but I'm not paying top-dollar for this boat. Good visibility at the dock. Easy to maneuver. Cheapcheapcheap to berth, easy to anchor, a decent amount of storage, sails would be cheap, great windows above and below. A few drawbacks but I can see where this boat is super attractive to the right buyer.
