What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
Perfect for groups. Matì sleeps eight across four cabins, making her ideal for families or friends who want to share costs on a larger catamaran without breaking the bank. The 2024 build means everything feels fresh and reliable.
Seriously well-equipped. You're getting a water maker, generator, air conditioning, and a full suite of cruising toys, bow thruster, autopilot, snorkeling kit, Wi-Fi, that remove real friction from longer charters. The teak cockpit and bimini make relaxing at anchor genuinely comfortable.
Strong value proposition. A brand-new 14m catamaran with this spec and modest €2,500 deposit is competitive for the Mediterranean or Caribbean. Four cabins with eight berths mean per-person costs drop significantly on group bookings.
One note on logistics. The base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm airport transfer time from your nearest international hub, that matters when you're flying long-haul from the US or UK. Once you know where Matì is moored, you'll have a clearer picture of total trip logistics.
