Overview
About this vessel
Designed by acclaimed French naval architect Loïc Goepfert and built by the renowned Alibi shipyard, SURPRISE is a striking 20.37-metre performance cruising catamaran that successfully combines offshore capability, luxury living, and exhilarating sailing performance. Having already completed a full circumnavigation, she stands as a proven bluewater platform ready for her next adventure.
With an impressive beam, SURPRISE delivers the stability, comfort, and interior volume expected of a world-class cruising catamaran. Her lightweight composite construction and sophisticated design provide an exceptional balance of speed, efficiency, and seakeeping, allowing her to perform confidently offshore while remaining easy to manage for owner operators.
At the heart of her sailing package is a rotating carbon mast by Lorima paired with a comprehensive Doyle sail wardrobe, delivering impressive performance across a wide range of conditions. Whether passagemaking across oceans or enjoying coastal cruising, SURPRISE rewards her crew with responsive handling, excellent upwind capability, and efficient passagemaking speeds.
The accommodation layout has been thoughtfully designed for both private ownership and charter potential. Large hull windows and panoramic saloon glazing flood the interior with natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout.
The main saloon offers spectacular 360-degree views and features a comfortable lounge area, generous dining space, and a fully equipped galley designed for extended cruising. Outside, the expansive aft cockpit serves as the social hub of the vessel, complete with ample seating, dining space, and twin carbon helm stations providing outstanding visibility and control underway.
Built for long-range autonomy, SURPRISE is exceptionally well-equipped. Her communication and navigation systems are equally impressive, including dual Starlink systems, Iridium GO Exec, Iridium 9575 satellite communications, and a comprehensive B&G H5000 electronics suite featuring radar, AIS, autopilot, and multiple chartplotters.
For exploring anchorages and enjoying life on the water, she is accompanied by a tender, paddleboard, kayak, and additional cruising accessories.
Currently located in Sète, France, SURPRISE presents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven world-cruising catamaran that offers the space of a luxury yacht, the performance of a modern sailing multihull, and the systems required for true offshore independence.
