Interior

• The Catana shipyard has paid close attention to passenger comfort: everything on board is designed to make life easier for a large family or group of friends.
• The beautifully practical U-shaped galley is ideal for preparing food and enjoying a convivial meal with up to eight people.
• At night, the Catana 55's double cabins (up to six available as an option) grant excellent levels of comfort. Furthermore, at 55 feet in length, the new Catana offers outstanding stability and increased resistance to pitching, for an even more pleasant voyage.

Safety

• Thanks to its length and generous headroom under the nacelle, the Catana 55 not only offers excellent stability on the water but also shares all the advantages of the rest of the Catana fleet.
• The instruments are all located in the cockpit, where the toerails, lifelines and handrails have been carefully designed for easy, unrestricted movement.
• Such ease of access is a valuable asset when sailing in heavy weather.
• Sailing close-hauled, tacking and reefing are facilitated, which, along with the electric winches, allow the helmsman to focus his efforts where they are needed.
