OHANA Yacht Description
Ohana 80, is a luxury sailing yacht ideal for exclusive getaways, intimate charters and island adventures. Ohana accommodates up to ten guests in five deluxe, king-size ensuite cabins. A custom layout featuring hand-picked design elements made in-factory at Sunreef’s shipyard in Poland ensures she is one-of-a-kind.
With three fully-equipped wet bars, a central open-concept galley, and seamless flow between the yacht’s interior and exterior spaces, Ohana creates a perfect platform to host guests comfortably. Classy lines underscore her modern style with a classic edge. The contemporary decor finds softness in the warm, light woods and coastal blues of her inviting interior. Her bold exterior boasts a custom color hull.
A vast, central lounging space with a panoramic view opens both onto the bow terrace and cockpit. The bow benefits from a cozy lounge, well shielded from sun and wind. To the aft, the saloon merges with the spacious cockpit offering a lovely al fresco dining area. The cockpit overlooks an extra large hydraulic platform that can act as a swim-up island once the jet tender is splashed. From the aft bathing platform, you can launch water toys, try scuba diving for the first time or sun tan all at sea-level. All the areas combined form a universal, open environment where flexibility and freedom reign.
Ohana has a built in scuba diving compressor and an area designated to tanks and top-of-the-line gear. Two seabobs are also on offer along with a wide array of water toys and adventure sports to try.
Unique to Ohana, a day-head is located in the aft cockpit to allow for maximum comfort during the day. The day head is complete with a wash basin and changing table for our younger guests. In addition, there are two waterfall shower heads by each aft sugar scoop for fresh water rinses throughout the sunny, salty days. Underwater lights line the waterline for an added ambiance in the evening.
High bulwarks and a large beam lend to the superstructure design allowing for a generous flybridge and bimini that extends its full length. Along with dual helms, the flybridge is dedicated to leisure, with comfortable seating, plush sunpads, and a large jacuzzi. There are options to dine al fresco while enjoying movie night with the family or catch a game on the large, retractable flatscreen TV while simultaneously enjoying a 360 view of the Caribbean.
The hulls provide impressive volumes to this large yacht. Airy, luxurious guest cabins encompass king-size beds, roomy closets and storage spaces, retractable TV and an immense bathroom. A perfect setting to unwind and relax after a long day in the sun.
Ohana is a Hawaiian term meaning family. It often refers to one’s extended support system, including nuclear family, extended family, close friends, colleagues and community groups. The word is imbued with loyalty, compassion, support and love. In native Hawaiian culture, it is a great honor to be a part of an ohana; it means that you'll never be forgotten or left behind. The root word ʻohā refers to the shoot of the taro plant, a Hawaiian staple. Ana is a word that conveys regeneration. Just as the taro plant produces offshoots, a person’s family is multigenerational and grows in different directions to include all of the people they love.
The owner’s chose Ohana to represent their strong-family ties and generous spirit. When you stay aboard Ohana, you can indulge in luxury and regalement, but leave knowing you are a part of something much grander.
Represented by DMA Yachting, the astonishing charter yacht OHANA is a 80 ft sailing catamaran featuring a hot tub. OHANA spends the summer and winter season in British Virgin Islands. She was constructed by recognized shipbuilder Sunreef Yachts in 2022. The well-planned yacht layout features 5 generous cabins and comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests.
OHANA is presented primarily as a sailing catamaran. The central space of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck features a variety of seating areas and that's where the guests spend most of their time. The immersive cabins offer unbeatable views in the morning and are located just below deck. The cabins are located in the 2 massive hulls. Multiple portholes add to the feeling of connection with the discovered environment.
The sailboat features John Deere - 280 HP Engine. 2x Onan28 KW Generators engines and a generator.
Accommodation
Ohana sleeps up to ten guests in five deluxe, king-size ensuite cabins. The king beds are all floor-level berths with full-walk around access. Each cabin boasts a mirror-covered wall to allow for maximum light during the day and lend an airy vibe to the comfortable cabins.Five spacious heads are ensuite featuring spa-like, waterfall shower heads and full-size commodes.

Mate + Dive Instructor | Fabian Thomas
Growing up in London, far from the sea, Fabian always felt a profound connection to the ocean. As a child, he eagerly awaited summer trips to the coast, where he fell in love with fishing and snorkeling. Back in London, his passions revolved around football and skateboarding, but the pull of the water never left him. Channeling his love for sports and adventure, Fabian pursued roles as a personal trainer and swimming instructor while studying Geography at the University of Exeter. During his studies, his oceanic passion deepened—he traded skateboarding for surfing and spent his summers working as a kayak and coastal exploration guide.
These experiences cemented Fabian’s lifelong dedication to the water. Before long, he discovered his true calling beneath the waves, becoming a scuba diving instructor. This role has taken him to breathtaking dive sites across the globe, including Egypt's Red Sea, Sri Lanka, the Mediterranean, and Thailand, where he completed his divemaster and instructor certifications. Sharing the awe-inspiring wonders of the ocean with others has been one of the most rewarding aspects of his journey—a passion he’s excited to bring to you.
Fabian also has a strong background in hospitality, having worked as both a bartender and a barista. For over two years, he has thrived in the maritime world, working aboard vessels ranging from 60 to 230 feet. His adventures have taken him across the Mediterranean, on an Atlantic crossing, and now to the Caribbean. Along the way, Fabian has taken on diverse and vital roles, from managing engineering tasks to leading professional dives around shipwrecks and archaeological sites. His focus is always on creating safe, unforgettable experiences for those on board.

Thank you, Maria
Tyler - thanks for knowing I could do anything that made me hesitate. Cory - you're truly a jack of all trades + an inspiration to always keep learning! Emily - I will strive to be half the hostess + kind heart person you are! Erika - thank you is woefully inadequate for what you did this week. The gift of being taken care of that you gave us is truly priceless + I will always remember how hard you worked, whenever I think I can't spend one more minute in my kitchen! I am also going to keep it much more organized now that I've seen yours!
Thank you, Bill + Meredith
