Yacht Description
Open-plan cat living. ILLUSION is a 2019 Nautitech Open 46 sailing catamaran, built around the “Open” concept where the salon and cockpit merge into one big social zone. Translation: more usable space, fewer bottlenecks.
Sleeps six, properly. Accommodation is for 6 guests in 3 en-suite cabins, including a primary suite with a king bed, a second king cabin, and a queen cabin. Simple layout. No weird conversions.
Comfort without drama. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and an iPod dock cover the real-world basics, while large hull portholes and an overhead hatch keep the interiors bright and breezy when you want natural airflow.
Easy water time. The swim platform makes in-and-out of the sea painless, and the toy locker keeps it classic with paddleboards plus snorkeling equipment, a kayak, and fishing gear for low-effort afternoons.

The many views, beaches and islands were true paradise!
It was a smooth sailing, thanks to Captain Bruno. Our sons will practice to be able to pull the dinghy!
Thank you for the unique experience!
Pedro, Maria and family.
Broker note -Thanks so much for such great feedback! I´m very glad to hear they had a unique experience and hopefully many more to come! A pleasure to work with you.
She said the crew were phenomenal and they were blown away by the food.
Please pass this on to Bruno and Chrystal and say thanks so much from me.
Thanks so much

We are a family of 4, 2 daughters and we sailed with Bruno and Jessica (his lovely daughter) for a week.
Nothing can measure their open hearts and the homey feeling we had throughout our entire stay.
Their knowledge of Caribbean Sea is not short of spectacular, and so was our trip!
Bruno is like a dad, a friend and great captain to anyone coming aboard and your comfort will be his top priority.
Not only will I recommend Bruno and his boats, but his lovely daughter Jessica as well, whom spoiled us with delicious food every day, baked for my kids and made fresh dishes always.
Thank you for an awesome trip in Paradise Islands.
