About
Meet Captiva, a proven award-winning catamaran, offered for sale after having sailed the East Coast and Bahamas for the past 8 years.
She was modified by the previous owner from 32' 9" to 36' (like the later Seawind 1000XL), extending hulls for added waterline length and performance.
With 36" LOA (about 40' with the folding bowsprit), Captiva is a modest catamaran by todays standard and yet she can handle anything from day sailing to passages with ease. Designed to be shorthanded, the current owners have maintained and upgraded her with solar panels and Lithium batteries.
Her 3 cabin / 1 head layout will allow you to host friends, or family with 1 double berth, 2 twin berth below and extra double in the salon.
The galley down is tidy and offers plenty of storage, refrigeration and a cooktop in addition to the gas plancha aft in the cockpit. The open cockpit/salon is protected by a hard top bimini and has an enclosure to protect the salon. The arch aft offers sitting and has davits with a 2023 10' 3" Highfield tender with a new 9.7hp Tohatsu outboard.
Captiva is an affordable entry point catamaran for someone who is looking at getting into sailing and perfect for shorthanded.
There are many features and extras included in the sale: solar panels, lithium batteries, spare parts, inflatable paddle board, extra sails, galley ware, safety equipment (life raft, EPIRB, etc...)
ICW friendly with only 55' overall. Original standing rigging, all running rigging was updated (2021). The mast is hinged and can be lowered for trips down the ICW.
Bottom paint done May 2024.
Please call Valerie Toomey for a tour.
Excellent communication.
We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.
It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
