Turnkey 43-foot Derek Kelsall-designed power catamaran — a proven liveaboard cruiser ready for the Great Loop, Florida Keys, Bahamas, or beyond.
I completed High Adventure in 2017 and she has been our comfortable home for three to six months every year since. The hull is resin-infused Divinycell H80 closed-cell foam composite — a construction method that keeps weight down and resists water intrusion. Fresh bottom paint and freshly refinished topsides mean she's ready to go. The master bedroom, galley, salon, and head with shower are all on one level above the hulls, giving us a bright, open living space with excellent visibility. Wide side decks and a raised covered cockpit make outdoor living easy.
KEY FEATURES:
- Twin 2024 Yamaha High Thrust T60 outboards — brand-new engines with only 164 hours, long-shaft auto-tilt configuration and 120hp total. The High Thrust T60 is purpose-built for heavy displacement applications, delivering strong low-end torque that suits a cruising cat like this far better than a standard-thrust outboard.
-
- Watermaker (18–20 GPH) — genuine independence at anchor without hunting for a marina.
-
- Solar power system — three 160W Grape Solar panels with Victron Smart Solar controller plus four 100W Eco-Worthy panels; the Victron Multi Plus 12/3000 inverter/charger and four 200Ah gel house batteries keep the fridge, portable freezer, and small appliances running comfortably off-grid.
