We’re back with Episode 6 of Cat Chat Live – Life Between the Hulls! 🎙️⛵️

This week, Wiley Sharp and Keagan Steyn are covering a little bit of everything. From this summer’s noticeably busier buyer activity to what actually goes into getting a catamaran ready for survey day.

Wiley and Keagan touch on:

📈How this summer’s catamaran market compares to last year’s slower season.

📋What really goes into prepping for a survey. From coordinating a haul-out and dockage to all the small logistics that keep the day running smoothly.

⛵️This week’s Make & Model spotlight: the Fountaine Pajot Aura 51—how it compares to the Saba 50 and what Wiley and Keagan think of its layout, features and performance.

🤔Is buying a boat out of charter a smart move? Wiley and Keagan break down what to look for and why the boat’s history and management can make all the difference.

And they wrap things up with their Brokerage Picks of the Week: two very different Aura 51s—Vienna, an ex-charter 5-cabin boat in the BVI, and a private 4-cabin Aura 51 ready to cruise out of Fort Lauderdale.

🎧 Listen to Episode 6 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.

Whether you’re actively shopping, considering a boat coming out of charter, or just love talking boats, there’s plenty to dig into in this episode.

When you get to spend the day out on the water with great clients, aboard a beautiful Fountaine Pajot Saona 47…that’s not a bad day at the office. ⛵️

Wiley Sharp is doing one of his favorite parts of the job…Survey/Sea Trial!

Now, while your initial gut reaction might be, “But they’re so stressful! Who knows what you’re going to find?” we approach it a little differently. It’s really just a day about gathering more information.📝

It’s also a great opportunity for us to spend more time with our clients. Learning about the adventures they’re already planning for their catamaran and answering questions that maybe they were too afraid to ask before.

Wiley truly loves every opportunity he gets to throw the lines, put up the main, and leave the shore...even if it’s only for a few hours. 🌊☀️

This week’s from Wiley Sharp is all about boating safety and staying connected when you’re offshore. 📡

Starlink has been a game-changer for staying connected on the water, but when you’re heading offshore, it shouldn’t be the only thing you’re relying on in an emergency.

Starlink is a great tool, but it’s not a substitute for having the proper safety equipment onboard. In this week’s tip, Wiley shares 3 things he keeps on his boat for emergency situations, and why being prepared before you head offshore is always the smart move.🧭🗺️

💰 The best cruising catamarans under $300K — including their Broker Picks of the Week and the boats they’d actually buy in this price range.
🔧 What to budget for when buying an older catamaran.
🔍 What really happens during a survey, haul-out and sea trial — including the things surveyors find over and over again.
