Serving a private island
Taking a step sideways from superyacht tenders, this 13m catamaran was commissioned to serve a property on a private island in the Bahamas.
It is designed and outfitted for luxury excursions with a seating capacity for 24 passengers and two crew. At 13m long and with a 4.4m beam, the catamaran has a draft of just 0.95m – ideal for island hopping, water sports, and day-long cruising.
13M Catamaran
To facilitate this wide variety of use, the catamaran is equipped with a hydraulic bow door, electronic adjustable height aft cockpit tables, a galley unit with two 80-litre fridges, a concealed head with shower, racks for scuba diving cylinders, and stowage for two SeaBobs with charging facilities. The forward seating units and sun pad can be removed to provide additional space for water toys or equipment, and there’s a carbon swim ladder that can be mounted in three different locations.
Power is derived from two Mercury Verado V12 outboard engines, delivering a top speed of 50 knots, and solar panel of 4sq.m is integrated within the bimini.
Compass Tenders’ catamarans are available in lengths from 10.0m to 13.5m, and can be stowed aboard a parent superyacht or used in a chaseboat format.
