What a lovely version of a 44'/45' cat. It is a evolution of my wonderful Orana 44, and the Helia 44

[@catamarancentral]

They've really come a LONG way!

When I first found this channel, I was "Woah, surfer dude" but it was compelling viewing. And a couple of videos in, I realised this guy knows what he's talking about! Bravo!

[@catamarancentral]

I'm just a guy who really really loves catamarans, and found a way to make a living playing with them by selling them. Thanks for the kind words.

[@cimota72]

@@catamarancentral I share that love and am looking forward to getting my first (new to me) cat!

[@HeidiandFranny]

Great video Wiley! This is the Mary Poppins boat - practically perfect in every way :) Thanks for sharing!

[@catamarancentral]

I kind of thought of you guys while filming the boat... Seems to fit the bill for what you guys are looking for.

[@HeidiandFranny]

@@catamarancentral Totally! We are getting closer. Our goal is to be in Fla late August. You know we'll let you know as soon as the house is gone. :) Thanks for thinking of us!

[@waltobringer2928]

Thanks again!

[@chrismehling9968]

Absolutely beautiful Elba 45. We actually were anchored next to it last December in St. John. If we didn't have a 2024 on order...

[@catamarancentral]

Well you could always buy her as a temp boat until the new one arrives ;)

[@chrismehling9968]

@@catamarancentral ;-) I'm not sure my checkbook would like that very much. Very good video. I've shared this with friends and family since I think this is the best Elba 45 tour videos out there.

[@Bubbaskidude]

I chartered an Elba 45 in the BVI in May 2022. Fantastic boat, sails great, the livability is awesome. The water maker is great too, eliminates the frequent docking for water without one. Nice Virgin Island views there 😍

[@rickirizarry5079]

Which one? What Charter company?

[@Bubbaskidude]

@@rickirizarry5079 Dream Yacht Charters, but most all charter companies have Fountaine Pajot, great boats.

Imagine loving this channel so much I have your videos set to notifications so while dead asleep at almost 3:30 a.m., I get a ding and get woken up from a dead sleep for one of my favorite KZbinrs. Then I have to watch the video because Wiley is the man and makes awesome videos of awesome boats. This one falls into this category for sure. The camera work, I don't know if your wife is filming, but whoever is doing the video, they are nailing it. The editing with the B roll placement is also on point. Great job Wiley...and mysterious camera person and editor. Now to try to get back to sleep dreaming of being back out to sea on one of these.

[@catamarancentral]

Thanks Cliff. You are far too kind.

[@DukeMorse]

Great job. That production value keeps getting better and better.

[@catamarancentral]

Thanks Duke. We are investing more and more in our video production. Wait until you see what we're doing next ;)

[@malgraham351]

What a great boat they are I recently got to go aboard HULL #1 SV Larikan here in Sydney , The owners port Hull is so good and yes that shower yes please

[@catamarancentral]

Such an improvement on what was already a great boat.

[@moonraker814]

Great video as always Wiley, thanks for posting!!

[@catamarancentral]

Thanks for watching and commenting as well!

[@SGudur]

I liked the layout very much... Absolutely beautifully organized... Thank you for sharing...

[@catamarancentral]

Thanks for watching.

[@kozaczyna85]

You do rly good cam handling in your videos. good work

[@jackdickerson2031]

Great job presenting this boat. I wish I had the money to purchase. I totaly agree with on the 45' boats giving one the best bang for the buck.

[@catamarancentral]

I'm glad you liked it. Keep working and saving, and you'll get there one day

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

Pretty compelling boat at that size. That master suite is yuge!

[@catamarancentral]

I think its one of the best layouts for the size.

[@trollking6111]

That's a nice boat.

[@douglasmontgomery6315]

Nice job Wiley

Gracias señor!

Thanks Keith!

Nice cat .well done Fair winds ⛵️

[@catamarancentral]

Thanks Tom!

[@izregistered]

Wiley, solid presentation. I have learned so much about what I want and need from you. Just curious, why no mention of the boat's year??

[@catamarancentral]

I guess thats just the way we filmed it... She is a 2020

[@petenaylor1353]

Great video Wiley. How does the Elba sail compared to the Helia or Leopard 46?

[@catamarancentral]

Very different boats. WE had some pretty decent performance out of her.

[@pedroalejandrososamoreno1142]

[@danielcolucci692]

Wiley, your videos are amazing! Love your walkthroughs! Any plans on shooting an Aventura 37 soon? Tks.

[@catamarancentral]

I chose not to film the Aventura..

[@mikefrahm1804]

Hi Wiley! I love watching and learning about all the cats, it's a great way to prepare for bluewater. If you could ad headroom in the different part of the boat, as I'm 6,4 that would be great. and how tall are you, that also helps? thank for all the great walk throughs

[@catamarancentral]

I'm 5'11", and have plenty of headroom. At 6;4" its a bit of a tight fit.

[@reilopes2006]

Does it have a washing machine on board?

[@catamarancentral]

She does in the starboard companion way.

[@thomasbrasse3145]

Love everything about this one, especially the owner's head, but that galley layout is not for us.

[@catamarancentral]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and the feedback.

[@traumagas123]

You know I'm ready.

[@barneyrubble1754]

is this sold?

[@danmallery9142]

Looks like a million bucks!😅

[@catamarancentral]

Which means with an asking price of $935,000 she's quite the bargain ;)

[@danmallery9142]

@@catamarancentral Haha, yep! My attempt at dry humor.

Drives me nuts that FP doesn't put windows in the head. For being a half million dollar yacht, I'd prefer it doesn't feel like I'm sitting in a hot porta potty.

[@nickmalone3599]

Won’t last long.

What do you mean?

Especially with the new price.
