The Catana 411 stands as one of the most respected performance cruising catamarans ever built, and this 1994 example represents a rare opportunity to step aboard a genuine blue-water passage maker at an accessible price point. Designed by the renowned French yard Catana — pioneers of the high-performance cruising cat — the 411 stretches nearly 12.5 metres with a generous 6.4-metre beam that delivers exceptional deck space, stability and interior volume without compromise. Four private cabins make her equally suited to liveaboard couples, charter operations or extended family voyaging.
The shallow 1.09-metre draft opens anchorages unavailable to deeper monohulls, a serious advantage across the Pacific cruising grounds where she currently sits in Fiji — arguably the most enviable home waters on the planet. Catana's construction philosophy blends lightweight composite materials with structural integrity, resulting in a hull that moves with purpose under sail and handles offshore passages with confidence. The 411's hull form and rig geometry were engineered for real-world speed rather than marina posing.
Priced at NZD $385,000, this is a compelling entry into passagemaking catamaran ownership in a location that lets you start cruising from day one. Serious buyers only — boats of this calibre in the Pacific basin move quickly.
