Laurelli
Our home, our classroom, and the boat behind every trip. A 40ft sailing catamaran built in France in 2020, set up for real offshore passages and full-time liveaboard life.
Laurelli is a 40ft Lagoon sailing catamaran, built in France in 2020. She's set up for real offshore sailing, not a charter boat dressed up for a photoshoot, with everything needed to live aboard comfortably for weeks or months at a time.
This isn't a boat that stays close to the marina. She's already crossed the Atlantic three times.

Two single and four double cabins
Laurelli has two single and four double cabins with four bathrooms. We're between six and ten people aboard, so you're most likely sharing a cabin with another person. Laurelli is a catamaran with lots of space though, and we sail the barefoot route, so sleeping on deck in the trampoline or on the roof, watching the shooting stars, is actually really nice too. We'll plan the crews so you're sharing a cabin with someone of the same sex as you. And if you're coming with a friend, you can obviously share a cabin with them.
Both hulls are laid out the same way. From the saloon you take the stairs down and find an aft double cabin and a forward double cabin, each with its own little bathroom with a toilet and shower. There's also a single cabin in each bow, reached through the forward cabin or through the deck hatch. All the cabins have really large windows to the sides and big deck hatches for ventilation.
Built for life outside
On a boat, life is mostly lived on deck. On a catamaran like Laurelli there's plenty of space to enjoy it.
Cockpit & helm
A large roofed seating area outside with teak decking. The helm sits a little above it, to starboard.
On the hulls
Both hulls can be walked on, and in front of the saloon there are cushions for sunbathing.
The trampoline
Between the two hulls there's a trampoline, a webbed net you can lay in. Perfect for looking at dolphins!
Saloon & galley
Inside there's a saloon with a table, and the galley with an oven, a stove, two fridges and a little navi desk.
The roof
The entire roof is accessible. Perfect for a little yoga!
Prepared, not just lucky
In my previous life, I was a risk management consultant, so we take risk seriously, and safety is priority number one when we're sailing. Sailing boats are unique living spaces with unique risks and lots of dos and don'ts. Before you come onboard, you'll get our risk management manual to get to know the boat and its safety features. And before we go sailing for the first time, there's a pretty long safety briefing so you know exactly what to do, and what not to do.
Laurelli is certified CE Category "A - Ocean" and designed for open ocean waters. She sailed across the Atlantic quite happily! The boat is fully equipped to European safety standards, so there are life vests, a life raft, VHF radios, active and passive AIS, redundant EPIRBs, a SART, fire extinguishers and everything else you'd expect. Thanks to Starlink, we have high-speed internet wherever we go. This is a real sailing yacht, not someone's barn find project.

Completely independent
Laurelli is equipped with 2.3kW of solar and 11kWh of batteries. We use electricity to cook, and to make our own drinking water from seawater. We use the wind to move the boat, and usually never visit marinas. We spend our time at anchor.
