Twenty-eight Catana 582s were built. Mariah is number twenty-three. She is a 2003 flagship from the Catana yard in Canet-en-Roussillon, drawn by naval architect Christophe Barreau — the hand behind the boats that made Catana's reputation for building cruising catamarans that actually sail. She has never been in charter service under her current owner. She has been a private boat, used privately, and it shows in the places that matter. She is offered at $490,000 against a market where comparable 582s are asking between $623,000 and $870,000. That gap is deliberate, and the reason for it is explained in full below. Nothing here is hidden behind a survey. The Boat Catana built the 582 the way very few production yards were building at the time: carbon fiber in the inner skin, resin-infused sandwich construction, and Twaron laid in for puncture resistance. The hulls are asymmetric and she carries daggerboards rather than fixed keels, which is the difference between a catamaran that points and a catamaran that motors upwind with the sails up. In a class where most 60-foot cats are apartments with a rig attached, the 582 remains a genuine performance cruiser. At roughly 19 metres overall she has the volume for full-time living without the windage and handling penalty of the newer high-freeboard designs. She is a boat you can move with two people and live on with eight. Accommodation The layout is Mariah's quiet advantage, and it is the thing photographs consistently fail to convey. Every cabin has its own dedicated stairway entrance. Not a shared companionway with cabin doors off a corridor — separate access, so guests, family, and owners move through the boat without ever crossing each other's space. Anyone who has spent two weeks aboard a boat with eight people and one set of stairs understands immediately what this is worth. For a family, it is the difference between a holiday and an endurance event. For a charter operator, it is the difference between a four-star review and a repeat booking. Full air conditioning throughout, supported by a generator sized to run it at anchor rather than only at the dock.

At 3,326 and 2,396 these engines are mid-life, not end-of-life, and the hours are stated here rather than buried because the numbers are good ones. The Northern Lights generator is the system that most often ends a cruising season or a charter week. Under 2,000 hours on a 16kW Northern Lights is a long way from anywhere near its service limit. The onboard dive compressor is not a common find at this size. It means dive tanks fill aboard, on demand, without running to a shore station — and it means a dive program is available to a future charter operation without capital outlay.
