Catana Ocean Series 471
Overview
About this vessel
Malikai is a 2004 Catana 471 — a renowned performance cruising catamaran designed by Christophe Barreau — offering an ideal blend of speed, safety, and comfort. With four spacious cabins, she is perfectly suited for family cruising or entertaining guests.
The current owners recently completed an 18-month family voyage along Australia s east coast with a crew of six. Her expansive cockpit and open-plan saloon deliver outstanding space and comfort, ensuring life onboard is enjoyable whether at anchor or underway.
Well-equipped for extended off-grid cruising, Malikai features air conditioning, a generator, watermaker, solar panels, lithium batteries, and ample refrigeration and storage. This allows you to stay off the grid longer and explore further without frequent returns to marina facilities.
Catana catamarans are celebrated for their fast, responsive sailing performance, and Malikai is no exception. Her daggerboards enable her to point higher into the wind than most catamarans and can be retracted to reduce draft 1deal for accessing shallow anchorages and secluded bays.
She comes with a Highfield tender and a 15HP outboard, ensuring easy and reliable shore access. Generous storage space accommodates water toys, dive gear, or paddleboards, making her an excellent fit for an adventurous family or a couple cruising with friends.
Whether you re planning your next coastal voyage or a bluewater crossing, Malikai is ready for your next chapter.
