Built in 2005 by Kelsall, the 54ft (17m) sailing catamaran Cool Change offers day charters for up to 40 guests alongside multi-day sailing for 10 in 5 cabins. A crew of 2 manages all sailing and hospitality, so guests can sit back and enjoy from the first moment.
Day Sails & Week Charters
A day aboard Cool Change follows a natural rhythm: set sail, cruise at 7 knots to a nearby anchorage, swim and snorkel, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch on board, and return by late afternoon. The sound of water against the hull and the feel of the breeze create a sensory experience quite different from a motor yacht outing. For those who want more, week-long charters unlock the wider South Pacific and Australia with daily passages to new anchorages. Features include large spacious saloon, large sheltered cockpit area, large foredeck setup with loungers and bean bags, indoor and outdoor dining tables, four burner gas hob and oven, microwave, large fridge & freezer, watermaker, swim platform.
Gear & Activities
5 water toys including a jet ski and four SUP boards are available to both day and week charter guests. The catamaran’s stable platform and low freeboard make water access exceptionally easy – an important detail for families and groups of varying ages. The crew manages all equipment.
