Brizo is currently sailing in New Zealand, where we can arrange a viewing.

The price is based on multiple factors, including a recent survey by an expert marine surveyor (which excludes the upgrades we made to Brizo) and comprehensive research on the pricing of similar-sized performance catamarans currently on the market, including Catanas.

Crossing the Pacific was a dream goal—and Brizo made it possible. She was our first home together and exceeded all expectations. We’re now ready to return to land life and start a family. We plan to cruise again and hope that Brizo will come to market again when we are ready.

Selling directly allows us to offer a competitive price without broker fees. We purchased Brizo from her previous owners and are want to ensure a smooth process. For serious inquiries, we recommend an expert marine survey (also required for insurance). We also suggest using Catamaransite’s sales forms and escrow services.

Brizo is hull #19 of the Catana 431 design, launched in December 2000. Her first owner outfitted her for global cruising. She’s never been chartered and has always been well maintained. We’ve built on the care and upgrades from her past owners and hope the next ones will do the same.

We average 8 knots on passages (~200 NM per day up to 240 NM on our best days). In light winds, Brizo will match the true wind speed thanks to her tall mast. She can sail upwind to 37° Apparent Wind Angle with daggerboards and sails comfortably downwind with the Tradewind sail. We try to avoid high winds/wave conditions, but she handles confidently and safely in these tougher conditions.
