Designed by renowned naval architect Bill Dixon, Champagne is a beautifully crafted Prout 72 catamaran built in Thailand for her original and current owner and launched in 2015. Purpose-built for serious bluewater cruising, she has already circumnavigated much of the globe and continues to cruise the Caribbean in exceptional condition. Combining elegant lines, impressive sailing performance, and remarkable onboard comfort, Champagne represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven long-range cruising catamaran that has been meticulously maintained and continuously upgraded by an experienced owner.
Her spacious interior is designed for comfortable liveaboard cruising, featuring generous accommodations, air conditioning serving the aft cabins, a large 100L water heater, multiple refrigeration systems including two fridges and two freezers, and a fully equipped galley with electric oven, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, and 5-burner propane stove with dedicated vented gas locker. A large medical inventory onboard further reflects the vessel’s thoughtful preparation for extended offshore passagemaking.
Champagne is exceptionally well equipped for self-sufficient cruising. Dual watermakers provide both 24V and 220V freshwater production capabilities, while substantial electrical capacity is supported by 24 x 6V house batteries, solar panels, dual 130A alternators, shore power connectivity, and a 9kW Onan generator. Entertainment and onboard comfort are enhanced with plasma televisions, surround sound speakers, Bluetooth audio, and Starlink Ocean internet connectivity.
At the helm, the yacht is outfitted with a comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite including dual chartplotters, ST7000 hydraulic autopilot, radar, AIS, wind instruments, depth sounder, Caribbean charts, VHF radio, and multiple multifunction displays. Deck equipment is equally impressive, featuring five electric Lewmar 70 winches, a manual Harken mast winch, rigid walkable bimini, dinghy davits with electric winches, extensive anchoring systems, and a 10/12-person liferaft.
Under sail, Champagne is powered by an extensive inventory including a fully battened mainsail, multiple genoas, gennakers, spinnaker, and mizzen staysail. Her reinforced mast and new stainless rigging installed in 2019 provide additional confidence for offshore passagemaking. Twin 150HP Steyr Marine diesel engines with approximately 2,900 hours deliver reliable propulsion, paired with Max-Prop bronze propellers for excellent efficiency and maneuverability.
Additional highlights include dual dive compressors, washing machine, oversized freezer capacity, multiple bilge pumps throughout both hulls, substantial fuel and water tankage, and a capable aluminum dinghy powered by a Yamaha 50HP four-stroke outboard.
Strong, elegant, and extensively equipped, Champagne is a true ocean-going catamaran ready for immediate cruising and new adventures anywhere in the world.
