Step aboard Catania, a 40-foot classic wooden sailing yacht built in 1938 in Essex, England, from Burmese teak, English oak, and bronze. Hand-crafted by master shipwrights, she showcases the elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless design of a golden era of yachting. Fully restored in 2007, Catania offers the rare opportunity to experience sailing aboard a historic vessel where every detail – from her hand-lathed bronze fittings to her gleaming teak cockpit – exudes sophistication and charm.
Operating from St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Catania accommodates up to six guests, making her ideal for couples, families, or small private groups seeking an exclusive sailing experience. Glide through turquoise waters, explore secluded coves, or anchor at pristine snorkeling spots above vibrant reefs.
Guests can relax on the teak deck under the shade of her bimini, stretch out on the bow or aft sun areas, or simply enjoy the gentle sway of a classic yacht under full sail.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a private day trip, or simply seeking the peace of open water, Catania combines history, luxury, and adventure. Snorkeling gear, refreshing beverages, and attentive service are included to ensure a seamless, memorable outing. Her graceful lines, swift sailing performance, and nostalgic atmosphere create an experience unmatched by modern boats.
For those who appreciate authenticity, style, and the romance of the sea, Catania is more than a yacht – she is an experience.
Escape the ordinary, connect with the ocean, and make your Caribbean adventure unforgettable aboard a true classic. Sail history. Sail elegance. Sail Catania.
