Introduction
BLUE MOON is the highly sought-after Owner’s Version of the Catana 581, a yacht widely respected for combining genuine offshore performance with exceptional comfort for long-distance cruising and liveaboard life.
Built using Catana’s lightweight foam-sandwich composite construction with carbon reinforcement in high-load areas, carbon spars and lifting daggerboards, she delivers the sailing performance for which the Catana name is renowned while providing spacious, practical accommodation for extended cruising.
Extensively upgraded under her current ownership, BLUE MOON benefits from twin 2022 Yanmar 110HP engines, a 2022 Onan generator, replacement standing rigging, recent Crusader sails, Gori folding propellers, an extensive Victron lithium electrical system, approximately 2.25kW of solar generation, Starlink High Performance satellite communications, watermaker and numerous mechanical, electrical and structural improvements completed during 2025 and 2026.
Following these upgrades, she completed an Atlantic crossing from Greece to Trinidad in early 2026 before continuing safely through the Caribbean to Cartagena, demonstrating the capability for which the Catana 581 has earned its reputation as one of the world’s premier bluewater performance cruising catamarans.
For buyers seeking a proven offshore cruising yacht, BLUE MOON represents an opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-equipped Catana where much of the significant investment typically associated with a yacht of this age has already been completed.
Broker’s Comments
BLUE MOON was acquired by her current owner in August 2025 following a pre-purchase survey and has since benefited from substantial mechanical, electrical, rigging and structural investment.
Replacement standing rigging was completed in Greece during October 2025. Professional composite repairs to the port coachroof-to-bulkhead connection and an adjoining section of the forward deck were completed in May 2026 using modern epoxy, carbon fibre and Nida core construction, followed by an independent rig inspection in June 2026.
The exterior teak has also recently been resanded and stained, substantially improving its presentation.
A comprehensive documentation package accompanies the yacht, including contractor invoices, structural documentation, rigging certification and supporting records of the work completed.
