About the Catana 55
The Catana 55 combines slender hulls with straight lifting daggerboards, allowing crews to adjust draft and lateral resistance for different conditions. Lowering the boards supports windward sailing, while raising them reduces draft for shallower approaches. Carbon reinforcement is concentrated around high-load structural areas, including bulkheads, the roof, and chainplate zones, rather than throughout the yacht.
Accommodation was offered in owner-focused and group-oriented configurations rather than one universal plan. An owner arrangement prioritizes privacy with more space reserved for its principal accommodation, while higher-capacity versions distribute sleeping space among more cabins. The manufacturer advertised up to six double cabins as an option, so cabin and berth totals depend on the yacht’s specified layout.
The gallery depicts CHARON, a 2013 Catana 55 that broker Neo Marine describes as having six cabins and 12 berths. That specification applies to this particular boat and shows how a group-oriented Catana 55 can emphasize capacity. Other examples may follow owner-focused or different group layouts, reflecting the choices offered for the model.
Twin aft-corner helm stations place each wheel close to its hull side, giving the helmsperson direct sightlines for maneuvering and a strong connection to sail handling. Central cockpit controls keep trimming tasks near the social area. Inside, the U-shaped galley adjoins the saloon, so cooking, meals, and passage planning can share one main-deck zone.
