The “Landrover of the Seas”, sturdy, reliable and made with redundancy in mind. Build up as a perfect platform for your next adventure of a lifetime in one of the most stunning sailing places on the planet! The South Pacific is calling!
1993 Prout Snowgoose Elite 37 catamaran, for sale by owner. She arrived from the Caribbean to French Polynesia in Mai 2023. Our family of 4 took her over in Tahiti and were enjoying 9 months of fabulous sailing here in French Polynesia. She served as a perfect platform for our family adventures. We fitted here with the necessities for remote work (fast Starlink, Wifi-Box and recently Lithium Batteries). We continue the second half of our 1,5 year sabbatical on land.
This Snowgoose is a bluewater ready catamaran, known for its sturdiness, well taken care of, with 3 cabins, a big bathroom, open space, plenty of storage compartments and everything needed to live off the grid, be it on ocean passages or comfortable anchorages, ready for her next owners.
The Prout Snowgoose 37 Elite is basically the same as the renowned Snowgoose 37 but with a wider beam by 1 foot, 2inch more draft and a 5inch taller mast.
Prout’s Snowgoose 37 is the definitive cat. The boat which quite simply put multi-hulls on the map. They are considered the safest, most comfortable and easy-to-handle cruising boats in the world. What makes the Snowgoose so special is that they offer good all around performance, an excellent safety record, and they hold their value. These catamaran’s look nice, are very sea kindly in storm conditions.
Chosen as #2 of the top nine cruising boats of all time by Cruising World Magazine, the Prout Snowgoose 37 is an “affordable” blue water catamaran. The words “affordable” and “Blue Water” are not an oxymoron with this excellent design. The fact that so many Prout Catamarans are successfully cruising the world speaks for itself.
With a displacement of 5500 kg, the Snowgoose 37 Elite is not, by any means a lightweight. The hulls are solid GRP below the waterline and cored from the waterline north. The bridgedeck is solid, and although this adds weight it also provides rigidity between the hulls that a single crossbar can’t match. While most cats rely almost entirely on modular construction, the Snowgoose 37 is built more traditionally with bulkheads and furniture facings securely tabbed to the hull.
This boat comes with an abundance of tools and spare parts. She is ready to go.
Some accessories can be included depending on price negotiations, such as Starlink, Wifi-Box, MOB Personal beacon, Garmin InReach, inflatable Kayak, new Fatboy, GETAC tablet, fishing gear etc. Contact us for details!
Available in Radiate, where she is tied up in a save and cosy harbor complex.
