BOAT NOW LYING IN ANTIGUA

Owner of Orion has just lowered the price to $2.5 million! He is motivated to sell her at this time and looking for serious offers with trade proposals considered! She is in top condition and replacement cost would be well over $8 million. We think she is the best deal on the market at this time for a performance voyaging catamaran in this size range.

For someone wanting to turn her into a profit making charter cat there is a very simple way to take her from a 6 guest charter cat to a 12 guest charter cat. She could quickly be changed into a profit machine, and would stand out in the world of charter cats as the Grand Dame of true sailing machines. Please see the video done by Captain Scott Fratcher explaining how this modification can be done.

ORION is a marvel to behold, unique in every respect and represents thousands and thousands of hours of design and construction technique. She is unquestionably the finest Catana ever built and very likely the finest catamaran of her size ever built!

Unlike so many custom catamaran projects, cooked up by men with big dreams, big budgets, but little experience, Orion was built for a seasoned seaman who owned two previous catamarans, including a Catana 582 he sailed around the world. He knew what it was like to live on a cat, voyage on a cat, care for a cat and sail a cat through massive seas and winds. He set out in partnership with Christophe Barreau, the famed naval architect for Catana, to create his dream boat. It took thousands of hours to design Orion and many more thousands to build her.

Since 2012, Orion has been crewed by the talented Scott Fratcher and Allison Thompson who have over 250,000 sea miles each. Scott Fratcher, (a licensed marine engineer/Yachtmaster Ocean) and Allison Thompson (Yachtmaster Ocean/Holistic gourmet chef) are no strangers to multihulls. They each worked five years in Alaska on a 104' power cat, spent two years as management and crew of Mariah, a Catana 582 in South Pacific charter and were critical members of Team Earthrace, the multihull that currently holds the Round The World Speedboat Record.

Scott Fratcher and Allison Thompson completed the commissioning of Orion and have since sailed her over 20,000 miles taking her from Spain through the Canaries & Cape Verde Islands, as far South as Trinidad, North through Maine, New York Harbor, almost every Caribbean Island, and many other stops along the Atlantic seaboard.

Orion is now a tried and true blue water luxury cat. The crew sails her conservatively and average about 250 miles a day during her many ocean passages. Her best one day run to date is 310 miles. She will sail easily in the high teens while in protected waters, and the crew throttles her back to 12-15K while ocean sailing.

The current long term crew are willing to stay with the vessel and are happy to provide a detailed turn over to new crew or owners. The current crew are also willing to make a full video explanation of each yacht system so future crews or owners can benefit from the experience of the current crew.

Orion has been in light charter in Europe and the Caribbean and is US Imported and thus able to charter in US waters.

Phil Berman was in France to personally inspect Orion and met with her build captain who lived in Canet (near the Catana factory) during the construction of the yacht to oversee every aspect of her build. What is most striking when you first approach Orion is that she looks almost identical to smaller Barreau designed Catana 65's and 50's, but sits off the water so high that, yes, she has two floors in her tall hulls - a first in catamarans!

This has two unique advantages. First, all of the technical equipment is under the floor, out in the open where the crew can simply walk up to the pumps, water maker, etc... making maintenance a breeze.

Second, all of the above floor space is open and used simply for the crew and guests. There is not one cupboard filled with an air conditioning unit or any other equipment. Instead, all of the cabin space is for guests and the technical equipment is below the floor. The crew reports that this has worked out wonderfully and cannot imagine going back to a standard catamaran.

The bridge deck of the yacht hosts a massive salon and galley. The enormous hulls contain owner's cabins, guest cabins and crew quarters while the lower floor of the yacht is devoted entirely to systems: watermakers, generators, inverters, wiring, plumbing, etc.

Every system on the yacht is easily accessed for care and repair. Orion is the most carefully thought out large catamaran I have ever had the pleasure to inspect regarding her systems and of course like all Catanas she sports a massive carbon fiber mast, high tech sails, dagger boards, etc.

You could not possibly upgrade Orion in a single area because not a penny was spared during her fabrication.

Please contact our office for her exact location to arrange a showing!
