The listing targets both private and charter use

Denison lists the Catana 68 with European passenger capacity of 80 to 120 people for charter operation, plus four crew, although final configuration depends on the intended use and certification. That gives the model a different character from a conventional owner-focused cruising catamaran.

The specification includes broad deck seating, a central helm and flexible interior arrangements. The front technical compartment can be converted to a cabin, while the dedicated crew area includes a double berth, wardrobe and bathroom.

Twin 150hp engines support close-quarters operation

The yacht is listed with twin 150hp engines, providing auxiliary propulsion for harbour work and motoring when sailing conditions are unsuitable. The mast, sails, winches and deck equipment are included in the quoted package.

The sailing inventory includes a full-batten mainsail with reefing and a furling genoa. Harken winches and Profurl furling gear form part of the deck arrangement, placing emphasis on robust systems suitable for frequent operation.

Bureau Veritas and CE standards are part of the offer

The seller states that the yacht is built to Bureau Veritas and CE requirements, with compliance verified under European directives. Certification is particularly important when a boat is intended for commercial passenger operation rather than solely private leisure use.

For buyers considering charter deployment, documentation can be as important as interior finish because it determines where and how the yacht can legally operate. A completed compliance package can reduce the amount of conversion work needed before entering service.

Toulon places the yacht close to Mediterranean cruising grounds

The boat is offered from Toulon on the French Mediterranean coast, a practical location for delivery into France, Italy, Spain or the western Mediterranean islands. The area also provides a strong concentration of yards, sailmakers and technical specialists.

At €1.3 million, the Catana 68 sits below many newer private luxury catamarans of similar length. Its particular appeal is the combination of sailing capability, passenger capacity and a specification that can be adapted for either commercial use or a more customised private configuration.
