About Okinawa

Okinawa is a 59ft (18m) sailing catamaran built in 2024 by Fountaine Pajot. With 5 cabins – 5 Double – she accommodates 10 guests for multi-day sailing and 12 for day charters, with a crew of 3 running the boat and looking after everyone aboard.

The Sailing Life

There is something distinct about a sailing catamaran charter – the quiet of moving under wind power, the stability of two hulls, and the shallow draft that opens up anchorages deeper vessels cannot access. Okinawa cruises at 8 knots and offers an open, airy layout where the galley, salon, and cockpit flow together naturally. This is hands-on sailing if you want it, or a fully crewed experience if you would rather sit back on the trampoline net and watch the coastline pass. Features include a BBQ area.

Water Toys & Exploration

8 water toys including a Seabob, two SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, and towable inflatables are aboard. The 11ft Tender extends exploration to nearby reefs, beaches, and coastal villages. The catamaran’s shallow draft means Okinawa can anchor in places that most yachts cannot reach, giving guests access to quieter, more pristine spots.

Sailing Caribbean and Mediterranean

Okinawa charters across Grenadines, Grenada, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, France, Spain, Italy in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, repositioning seasonally to follow the best wind patterns and cruising conditions. The best months are Peak: Jan, Feb, Mar, Jul, Aug, Dec | High: Apr, Jun, Sep, Nov | Value: May, Oct, when steady winds and warm waters create ideal sailing. The captain plans each day around wind direction and guest preferences.
