About
S/V Vista Vida is a 2007 Privilege 495 Owners Version catamaran. She has never been chartered and had all major systems refit for its next owner to sail away with confidence for both coastal cruising and blue water ocean crossings.
The Privilege 495 is known for its sleek design, aviation style salon windows, extra-long sugar scoops, aggressive sail plan, beautiful, crafted woodwork throughout and its HUGE owners cabin that stretches from hull to hull.
Privilege catamarans are not built for the charter industry, instead each boat is individually tailored to the owner every one of them a statement in itself: luxury on the ocean, superb stability, reliability, safety, performance and durability.
On the exterior, Privilege features its recognizable sleek aviation style windows and low freeboard. Inside, its finishes, and workmanship resemble ancient craftmanship that you no longer see on the newer boats that have all gone with the modern, RV style look and quality.
Privilege was created in 1985 by internationally renowned sailor Phillipe Jeantot (founder of the Vendee Globe yacht race). Based on his unequalled ocean sailing experience and profound understanding of the dynamics of ocean conditions, particularly for sailing vessels versus hull design, Jeantot set out to design catamarans who would set a new benchmark in the world of multihull sailing. Jeantot had an obsession for perfection which applied from construction quality and stability, while maintaining comfort, luxury, livability, durability and without compromising on performance. This is surprisingly outstanding for a yacht without daggerboards, but which elongated transoms improves upwind sailing performance, as well as minimize the dreaded hobby-horsing in a short chop typical of more stubby modern multihull designs.
Zvonimir heard that my vessel was back on the market and reached out to see what was going on. Nothing wrong with the boat! He put me in touch with Charles and we got her sold. Thanks for all the support and making it happen TMC!
Chuck was amazing throughout the entire process. Not sure how we could have navigated this without him and the Multihull team!
It gets no better than The Multihull Company. I’ve watched their great videos for years. When it was time to sell my catamaran, there were no other brokerages in consideration. THEY ARE THE CATAMARAN MARKET LEADERS!! Captain Will Miller has taken the company to the top level. They had an interested buyer prior to my listing going live. I was under contract the first week. The Multihull Company is an impressive organization.
Was a pleasure working with Andrew Hodgdon as buyers agent for our recent multihull purchase. Very knowledgeable of this space and for sure my first call buying or selling a yacht.
The multihull company has been great to work with. They were very helpful in every stage of our purchase from instill showings to purchase. Karl Reed, Andrew Hodgon and Andrew Holland were great sources of information and helped us find our dream Catamaran. Thank you Multihull!
