From the Broker:
If you are reading this because you are interested in acquiring an Outremer 51 catamaran, LA VIE is the finest boat you are going to find. From the day the boat was ordered, the present owner opted for only the best every single time. He chose every carbon upgrade Outremer offered, he bought every sail the boat could ever require for any condition. He configured the front guest cabin to function as an office, or a bunk room, or a comfortable double berth.
This boat has lithium-ion batteries, more than ample solar banks, redundant autopilot, and so many mother upgrades. The boat has lower hours on her engines than this listing states. If ever a boat could truly be called “Bristol”, this is it.
The owner of this boat has had Newport shipyard service and upgraded this boat every year. He even hired me for 2 seasons to simply oversee the boatyard to make sure they did things right. LA VIE is a marvel.
Again, if you are looking for an Outremer 51 catamaran, this is it. Call now.
