Launching and hand-over of the Catmar Explorer 74 ft.
After 2,5 years building at Dijkstra Jachtbouw BV shipyard in Harlingen / NL, the Catmar Explorer 74 ft “Gara Itsasoa” was launched, followed by intense weeks of extensive sea trial runs, training and trimming under all conditions.
Mid-September 2025 the “Gara Itsasoa” set sail for her transfer cruise from the shipyard in Holland via the Bay of Biscay and arrived safely in Lanzarote (Canary Islands) on 9 October.
According to the comments of the owner : “It has been a very pleasant voyage, during which the crew was able to test how the boat responded in different weather conditions. They encountered winds from practically every direction, with speeds ranging from 12 to 40 knots, but the ship performed very well and felt very balanced”.
