Yacht Description
Fresh refit, smart size. TABULA RASA is a 57-foot Lagoon sailing catamaran built in 2001 and refit in 2024, set up for up to 6 guests. It is a tidy option when you want proper space without committing to a much larger yacht.
Three equal cabins. The layout is straightforward: 3 queen-berth guest suites, each with an en-suite bathroom. No awkward “who gets the good cabin” debate. Just unpack and get on with it.
Easy water days. Two swim platforms and a stern boarding ladder make swim stops painless, plus there’s an outdoor shower for the salt-and-sunscreen reset. Foredeck seating (and table) gives you another hangout zone when the salon feels too indoors.
Actually uses the toys. You have 3 paddleboards, 2 one-person kayaks, snorkel gear for 10, plus beach games and light fishing gear for low-effort entertainment. Add Starlink satellite internet and onboard Wi-Fi, and you can pretend you are “offline” while still being reachable.
Broker Review
Onboard visit
TABULA RASA is a very capable sailing catamaran that sailed down from Seattle through Mexico and the Panama Canal — an older boat with a recent refit, so genuinely good value for her size. The captain is a professional kiteboarder and surfer who can run kite or surf charters, taking you to all the best spots. She comfortably takes 6 guests, with room for 2 more on request.

Charter Reviews
We wouldn’t hesitate to refer Tabula Rasa—it was a great experience. And the chef was an incredible addition to the trip—truly a gem!
Demian is very experienced and I think that is a strong selling point for that team. Angie prepared excellent and creative meals with a modern flair. Fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and jerk marinades, plantain, really good. Despite the consistent high winds, Demian found clear water and calm moments for some great snorkels. We appreciated the actual sailing which was a blast especially for my husband.
I would highly recommend.
Also the boat is renovated completely and has a very open lounge area both in back and front. While it does not have a second tier, its layout is almost better with the larger central spaces. Damien and Angie are super entertaining as well. They have sailed all over the world including Atlantic crossings. Very cool.
