SAVOY

SAVOY — 16.40m (52ft) power catamaran, New Zealand There is a reason catamarans have earned their place in the charter world, and SAVOY makes the case plainly: two hulls, a wide beam, and the kind of steady, level ride that lets guests move around the yacht without thinking about it. Built in 2000, she cruises at 16 knots and tops out at 18 — enough pace to cover real ground between anchorages in a single morning, rather than spending the day getting there. Below, the layout is deliberately uncrowded. Two cabins, each with a double bed and its own en-suite, accommodate four guests — a configuration that suits two couples travelling together, or a family who would rather not compromise on privacy. Nobody shares a bathroom, and nobody draws the short straw. New Zealand is her cruising ground, and a shallow-draft catamaran is arguably the ideal tool for it: the bays, inlets and sheltered coves that define this coastline reward a yacht that can tuck in close.
