Description

Ready for the South Pacific — and already there.
Surya is a true PDQ-built sailing catamaran, sharing the same layout and construction as the Antares 44, with the only difference being the later model’s extended transom steps. Though an early build, she has been extensively upgraded with new engines, sails, rigging, systems, and safety gear — making her a proven, turn-key cruiser.

Based in Papeete, French Polynesia, Surya offers approximately 17–18 months remaining on the cruising permit, allowing a new owner to fully explore the region before heading west. Best of all, she has not been imported, meaning no local sales tax or VAT is due at purchase.

A rare opportunity to step directly into South Pacific cruising — equipped, compliant, and ready to go.

Construction

The hull and deck are made of Isophthalic acid resin and tri-axial knitted fiberglass fabric. The exterior layer is 100% vinylester, while the interior layer is polyester. Corecell foam is used for coring above the waterline, except for hardware attachment points. All coring is vacuum-bagged to ensure complete adhesion. Below the waterline, the hulls are solid fiberglass. Two forward watertight compartments are inside each bow locker and four watertight bulkheads - two forward and two aft. The standard fin keels have a sacrificial section to sustain substantial damage without affecting hull integrity.
