Why owner version sailing yachts and catamarans are the perfect choice for discerning sailors

One of the most appealing aspects of an owner’s version yacht or catamaran is the dedicated space for the owner and their guests. In contrast to charter versions, where cabins are typically designed to be used by multiple guests, the owner’s version is tailored to offer more expansive living areas. This means larger master staterooms, more storage space, and a greater emphasis on comfort.

On catamarans, this often translates into a master suite occupying one entire hull, with luxurious amenities, more natural light, and panoramic views. The spaciousness doesn’t end with the interior—owner’s version sailing yachts tend to feature larger , saloons and galley areas, allowing you to entertain in style and comfort. Usually size of the cockpit is not different in charter and owner version yachts.

For many sailors, privacy is one of the primary reasons to choose an owner’s version. On a charter boat, the cabins are typically divided between the crew and guests, leading to a lack of personal space. With an owner’s version yacht, charterer who is using owner cabin enjoys complete privacy, typically with the option to either cruise alone or share the vessel with family and friends without the need for external crew, or if needed crew has separate cabins with entrance from outside. 

In catamarans, the owner’s hull is often completely separated from the guest hull, creating a private sanctuary that’s perfect for relaxing, unwinding, and enjoying solitude during your voyages. If you're someone who prefers quiet evenings under the stars or peaceful days at sea without the interruption of crew members, this level of independence is invaluable.

As owner’s version  is giving  the freedom to tailor yacht or catamaran to owner's exact preferences, most likely those yachts will have more equipment, customised interior colour and details.

For example, many owners take advantage of the opportunity to select high-end furnishings, luxurious flooring and top-of-the-line equipment to ensure their boat meets personal expectations. 

Owner’s version yachts and catamarans are often built with performance in mind. Many come equipped with superior sail plans, more powerful engines and enhanced hull designs to offer smoother, faster, and more enjoyable sailing experiences. This is particularly important for sailors who plan to embark on long-term cruising or offshore adventures. 

With a greater emphasis on performance, owners are more likely to receive a yacht that is optimised for both comfort and speed. Whether you're looking to cross Adriatic Sea (subject to prior approval as not all yachts are registered for sailing out of Croatia)  or simply enjoy coastal cruising, you’ll find that an owner’s version often offers superior handling and stability, especially in rougher seas.

Ultimately, choosing an owner’s version yacht or catamaran is an investment in comfort, privacy and performance. Whether you’re looking to live the dream of long-term cruising or simply want to enjoy a superior sailing experience with friends and family, the owner’s version provides a perfect balance of luxury and practicality.
