BELLE CARO

The Catana 53 BELLE CARO ranks among the most acclaimed models of the renowned French shipyard, striking an ideal harmony between thrilling sailing performance and refined comfort. Delivered in 2019, this Catana 53 has been exceptionally cared for. Lightly used by her first owner until 2022, she has since benefited from extensive upgrades and meticulous professional maintenance, including full preparations for bluewater passages such as a transatlantic crossing. She is now offered in pristine, turnkey condition — fully equipped and ready to sail.

With a design inspired by the shipyard’s flagship Catana 62 and 70 models, the Catana 53 carries the same offshore pedigree, yet in a format that remains practical for short-handed or couple sailing. Built using advanced infusion techniques, her hull is a foam sandwich composite strengthened with Vinylester resin, Twaron® aramid fibre for impact resistance, and carbon reinforcements in key stress areas. This advanced build delivers a yacht that is exceptionally strong, lightweight, and safe, while offering outstanding sailing performance.

Her light-grey hull, white superstructure, and Flexiteek decks give her a timeless and sophisticated presence. Structural bulkheads, made from carbon/foam sandwich composites, are fully bonded and reinforced to maximize rigidity. Carbon also features heavily throughout the rig and fittings: Axxon high-modulus carbon mast and boom, carbon bowsprit, longeron, front beam, martingale, and daggerboards — all ensuring maximum durability without adding unnecessary weight.

Configured in the desirable Owner’s Version, this Catana 53 provides expansive and comfortable interiors, with 3 well-appointed cabins for 6 guests, designed for both extended cruising and family voyages.
