Is the 2023 Catana OC 50 HEBY for Sale?

Yes, this 2023 Catana OC 50 HEBY is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. Because HEBY represents a compelling opportunity in the used yacht market with a competitive price improvement, availability of a comparable example may be limited. Early inquiry is advised.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than acting early. The engine service records, sail wardrobe condition, lithium battery bank health, watermaker condition, and the full inventory should all be reviewed before making an offer. A well-maintained example with low engine hours and a turnkey specification can have a very different ownership profile from another Catana OC 50 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2023 Catana OC 50 HEBY Price

The asking price for this 2023 Catana OC 50 HEBY should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for performance catamarans varies with specification, equipment, and documented maintenance. Given the competitive price improvement, HEBY represents a compelling opportunity in the used yacht market, and the yacht's strong resale value supports the asking price. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 51-foot catamaran. Owning a Catana OC 50 means budgeting for regular maintenance of its advanced systems, such as the watermaker and lithium batteries, but these costs are offset by the yacht's strong resale value and low fuel consumption under power. Prospective buyers should factor in insurance and berthing costs, which for a 51-foot catamaran can be significant, along with a professional survey, sea trial, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Catana OC 50 is powered by upgraded 80 HP Yanmar engines with only 350 hours, paired with Max Prop feathering propellers for excellent maneuverability. The Yanmar 80 HP engines are economical at cruising speed, and the Max Prop feathering propellers improve sailing performance and docking control. The low hours reduce near-term mechanical risk.
 

Catana's signature daggerboards and high bridge-deck clearance give the boat genuine performance sailing ability, while a comprehensive sail wardrobe including genoa, gennaker, and self-tacking Solent track ensures versatile performance in various conditions. Actual sailing performance and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, sail trim, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should be used to verify performance. The 80 HP engines are economical at cruising speed.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2023 Catana OC 50 HEBY features a well-thought-out deck layout with a raised helm station and all lines led to a large cockpit, making short-handed sailing a breeze. Catana's signature daggerboards and high bridge-deck clearance support performance sailing, and the exterior design reflects the model's bluewater focus. The deck layout is designed for shorthanded operation and safety.
 

Buyers should inspect the hulls, deck, bulkheads, daggerboards, rigging, mast, sails, through-hulls, and steering system. The raised helm station, large cockpit, deck hardware, and railings should also be reviewed. Arrange a personal inspection to appreciate the immaculate condition and well-considered specification, and discuss sea trial options with the brokerage team.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2023 Catana OC 50 HEBY offers a spacious three-cabin layout with two heads, providing private space for guests. Full air-conditioning in all three cabins, plus a household fridge-freezer and Spectra watermaker, add liveaboard comfort. Advanced power systems include a 17.5 KVA generator, lithium house battery bank, and a large solar array for extended off-grid capability.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, and interior finishes depending on specification. Buyers should inspect the cabins, heads, saloon, galley, household fridge-freezer, air-conditioning, watermaker, generator, lithium house battery bank, plumbing, and bilge systems for condition. The three-cabin layout and liveaboard amenities should be reviewed against your extended cruising plans.
