Verdict
A distinctive large sailing catamaran with strong guest capacity, generous beam, and good charter-oriented livability. Its main strengths are space, stability, and sheltered cruising comfort, while handling is more about easy passage-making than sporty sailing.
Avantages
- +Large 24.6 m / 80'9" catamaran platform with wide beam for volume and stability[1][2]
- +Accommodation layout suited to charter use, with 6 double cabins plus 2 single cabins noted in listings[2][6]
- +Cruising speed around 12 knots is reasonable for a sailing catamaran of this size[1][2]
- +Composite construction and multihull form favor steady, comfortable motion underway[6]
Inconvénients
- −Not a performance-focused sailing catamaran; public listings emphasize cruising rather than speed[1][2]
- −Wide 11.5 m beam can make marina berths, docking, and maneuvering less convenient[1][2]
- −Guest-heavy charter configuration means the feel is more practical than yacht-like or private-owner oriented[2][6]
- −Older 2004 build may require careful upkeep depending on refit and maintenance history[1]
Etoile Magique is a large custom sailing catamaran built around volume and charter utility rather than racing performance. Public listings place her at 24.6 m length with an 11.5 m beam and composite construction, which typically gives a broad, stable platform and strong interior space for her size[1][2][6].
On the water, available information points to a cruising speed of about 12 knots and a maximum speed around 15 knots, which is solid for a cruising catamaran of this type but not especially quick by modern performance-cat standards[1][2]. The multihull layout should deliver good steadiness and reduced heel, while the wide beam will make close-quarters maneuvering more demanding than on a monohull[1][2].
Comfort is one of the yacht’s clearest strengths. The reported 6 double cabins plus 2 single cabins, along with day-charter capacity for larger groups, suggest a layout designed for social cruising and charter operations rather than intimate private use[2][6]. For guests, that usually translates into good onboard living space and a practical cabin plan.
In value terms, Etoile Magique looks strongest for buyers or charter operators prioritizing guest capacity, stable sailing, and usable deck and interior volume. Her age means condition, refit history, and systems maintenance will matter more than headline dimensions when judging real-world value[1][6].
