Royal Rita Power Catamaran
About Royal Rita
A crew of four for eight guests is a generous ratio for any yacht, and on Royal Rita, a catamaran built by Sunreef Yachts, it means the space of two hulls run by people whose job is looking after the four cabins between them. She was built in 2016, refitted in 2022, and she lies now in Fort Lauderdale, in the USA.
Build and provenance
She is a sailing catamaran built by Sunreef Yachts in 2016, with twin hulls giving her a 9.3 metre beam across a 23 metre, 78 foot length overall. A refit followed in 2022; its scope is not on record, so a survey will establish what it covered.
Layout and accommodation
In Royal Rita's case, four cabins sleep eight guests, with a crew of four to look after them: a one to two ratio that points to full service rather than a charter-only arrangement. The catamaran's 9.3 metre beam keeps those cabins and the saloon on a wide, stable platform.
Performance and engineering
She cruises at 17 knots and reaches 21 knots flat out, speeds that keep a passage on schedule rather than leaving it to the wind alone.
Where she lies and how to see her
Royal Rita lies in Fort Lauderdale, in the USA, where Boatcrowd can schedule a viewing and be present for it. Once an offer is accepted, an independent survey and sea trial follow before completion, and she also sails in our charter fleet, based out of Harbour Island, so a buyer can spend a week aboard her before deciding to buy.

Also Available to Charter
She is in our charter fleet as well as on the market, so a season can be run against her costs while she is for sale.
Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
