Outremer 45 Big Turtle

Performance, Pedigree, and Pristine Condition Big Turtle is a turn-key Outremer 45 ready for bluewater cruising.US Import Duty Paid!Big Turtle is a gorgeous 2016 Outremer 45 she represents one of the cleanest examples of the model on the market today.There is a particular feeling that comes with stepping aboard a boat that has been loved. Big Turtle is that boat. Immaculate inside and out, meticulously upgraded, and prepared with the kind of care only a thoughtful, hands-on owner can deliver.Outremer needs little introduction among serious cruising sailors. Built in La Grande-Motte on the French Mediterranean coast, the yard has spent decades refining a singular philosophy: keep the boats light, keep them simple, and keep them fast. The Outremer 45 penned by the Barreau/Neuman design partnership with exterior touches from Patrick Le Qument and an interior by Franck Darnet is the distillation of that ethos. Daggerboards for upwind performance and shallow water access, a protected helm and cockpit for long passages, and a displacement low enough to make the boat sing in light air. She is the catamaran serious bluewater sailors choose when they intend to actually sail.Big Turtle is configured as the three-cabin, two-head Owner's Version, with a generous master suite occupying the entire starboard hull and two guest cabins to port. The main salon is bright and well-ventilated, with panoramic visibility to the horizon and a comfortable dinette that converts easily between passage-making and entertaining. The galley is fully electric induction cooktop and induction oven/microwave combo eliminating propane from the boat entirely and simplifying both maintenance and provisioning.Some highlights include: Three-cabin, two-head Owner's Version performance daggerboard catamaran 2 x 30hp Yanmar 3YM30AE diesels and saildrives recently serviced Full North Sails 3Di inventory including Mainsail, Jib, Genoa, Code 0 and Asymmetrical Spinnaker 1100W solar with 1200Ah Mastervolt LiFePO4 lithium house bank (2023) Fully electric galley - no propane on board Dessalator 75 L/hr watermaker Full B&G electronics suite with Zeus3 MFDs at nav station, helm, and in owner's cabin Starlink Mini hardwiredBIG TURTLE has been updated and maintained to a standard rarely seen on the brokerage market. The bilges are spotless. The exterior cushions show no mold or staining. The cockpit enclosure is believed to have never been installed. Every system has been touched, serviced, or replaced within the last two years, and a deep inventory of organized spares comes with the boat.Big Turtle is US Duty Paid. Currently located in beautiful St Augustine, FL and available for showings by appointment.
