2001 Catana 471 Pippin

Refit to be even more energy independent. Capable of months at sea

U.S. duty paid | Owners version | Major refit in 2022

The Catana 471 is the ultimate bluewater performance catamaran. With her high freeboard and generous bridgedeck clearance, she’s built for safe and comfortable offshore passages. Daggerboards ensure exceptional upwind performance, while her carbon rig with stainless shrouds and forestay adds strength and reliability. Her high-tech hull is constructed with PVC foam core and vinylester resin, and reinforced with carbon and Kevlar, which offers the perfect balance of stiffness, strength, and lightness.

Pippin, a 3-cabin, 2-head owners version, has always been privately owned and never chartered throughout her three-owner history. In 2022, she underwent a significant refit with a clear mission: to be generator-free and energy independent, allowing for extended, off-the-grid cruising. Safety was also enhanced with a new anchoring system and liferaft.

Explore further below and contact us to see what makes Pippin a rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained, true turn-key vessel, equally ready for local cruising or world exploration. Showings are available by appointment.
