Additional Information

Ocean Jedi is a true long-range performance catamaran, custom-built for serious blue-water cruising and fundamentally different from today’s lighter production multihulls. She is a heavy, strong, and exceptionally safe offshore yacht, designed for extended ocean passages and liveaboard comfort.

Proven Blue-Water History

Ocean Jedi has an outstanding and well-documented offshore track record. She has been sailed:

• From Lima (Peru) through the Panama Canal

• For over 10 years throughout the Caribbean

• Repeatedly along the U.S. East Coast

• From the Caribbean to Europe via Bermuda and the Azores

The yacht has safely experienced two hurricanes while securely docked and multiple extreme offshore conditions, including winds exceeding 60 mph and seas up to 20 feet. Throughout her life, the hull has never shown structural issues, fractures, or loss of integrity, confirming the robustness of her construction.

The design naturally lifts the bow and minimises bridge-deck slamming, contributing to exceptional comfort and safety offshore—something that is immediately noticeable at sea.

Construction & Design

• Model: KSS 58

• Builder: Ballotta (Peru) – custom yacht builder

• Type: Performance cruising catamaran

Ballotta built four KSS 58 yachts, two with galley-up layouts and two with galley-down configurations. Ocean Jedi features the galley-up layout, widely considered the most desirable arrangement in this size and category, offering superior light, ventilation, and social living space.

Interior & Liveaboard Comfort

Ocean Jedi offers:

• Large, comfortable cabins

• Generous living areas

• Excellent ventilation and visibility

• Practical layout designed for long-term living and circumnavigation

Her interior volume and layout make her an ideal yacht for extended cruising, ocean crossings, or full-time liveaboard use.

Maintenance & Professional Care

The yacht has been meticulously maintained throughout her life:

• Regular shipyard maintenance

• Almost always professionally crewed

• Captain aboard for over 10 years, ensuring consistent care and oversight

The long-term captain is a licensed captain and trained diesel mechanic, providing an exceptional level of mechanical and operational attention.

Standing Rigging

• Standing rigging replaced: June 2019

• Location: St. Martin

• Company: FKG Marine (Cole Bay, Sint Maarten)

The replacement was completed just prior to the transatlantic crossing from the Caribbean to Europe.

Refit & Works in Progress

A major refit program has just been completed in 2025 in Port Ginesta, Barcelona:

• Full overhaul of both Volvo engines, shaft lines, gearboxes, and propellers

• Complete engine room refit

• Servicing and commissioning of Northern Lights generators

• Rigging adjustments

• Removal and inspection of both rudder blades

• Installation of three new air-conditioning units

• Refit of both watermakers

• Reactivation of Coppercoat antifouling and Propspeed application on shafts

• Gelcoat touch-ups on deck

• Mainsail repair

Before being officially launched on the market, the yacht also received:

• Deep interior cleaning

Ownership & Registration

Ocean Jedi is owned by a USA corporation, offering flexibility in the transaction structure (asset or share sale).
She was registered as a pleasure craft and obtained a MIRAD waiver for charter activity in U.S. waters, confirming importation compliance prior to any U.S. tariffs.

Summary

Ocean Jedi is a rare opportunity to acquire a custom-built, proven blue-water catamaran with exceptional offshore capability, generous living space, and a maintenance history that reflects professional ownership and care.

She is ideally suited for:

• Ocean crossings

• Circumnavigation

• Serious long-range cruising

• Full-time liveaboard life

A yacht for sailors who value strength, safety, and real offshore performance over light construction and volume-driven production designs.
