Flying Whale is a 60ft (18m) sailing catamaran built in 2024 by Xquisite Yachts. With 2 cabins – 2 King – she accommodates 4 guests for multi-day sailing and 12 for day charters, with a crew of 2 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. Flying Whale 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 swim platform and a BBQ area.
Water Toys & Exploration
11 water toys including seascooter, a SUP board, water skis, a wakeboard, a kayak, towable inflatables, and surf and kite gear are aboard. The 14ft Dinghy extends exploration to nearby reefs, beaches, and coastal villages. The catamaran’s shallow draft means Flying Whale can anchor in places that most yachts cannot reach, giving guests access to quieter, more pristine spots.
