About NDS Evolution

NDS Evolution is a 85ft (26m) luxury catamaran launched in 2018 by JFA Yachts. Her twin-hull design provides exceptional stability and generous living space, with 4 cabins – 3 Double, 1 Twin and 1 Pullman – for 9 guests and day capacity for 12. A crew of 4 delivers attentive service from boarding to disembarkation.

 

Space & Stability

The defining advantage of a luxury catamaran is space – and NDS Evolution delivers. The beam provides an expansive salon and deck area that monohull yachts of similar length simply cannot match. Guests spread out naturally between the forward lounging area, aft dining, and flybridge without ever feeling crowded. Cruising at 10 knots with minimal roll, NDS Evolution is especially well suited for families and groups who value comfort afloat. Key features include a swim platform and an outdoor bar. The layout creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with living spaces opening directly onto the water.

 

Toys & Adventures

9 water toys including iaqua sea-scooters, an e-foil, two SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, a kayak, and surf and kite gear are on board. The catamaran’s shallow draft allows her to anchor close to shore in places deeper yachts must pass by, and the 16ft Tender provides quick transfers for beach exploration, village visits, and reef snorkeling. The crew sets everything up at each stop so guests move between activities without thinking about logistics.

 

Charter Destinations

NDS Evolution is available for charter across Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, St Martin, St Barths, St Lucia, Martinique, St Kitts and Nevis, Guadeloupe and Grenadines in the Caribbean, repositioning seasonally to follow the best conditions. The recommended months are Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec, when settled weather makes the most of the catamaran’s natural stability. Your captain selects daily routes balancing active exploration with unhurried anchorage time.
