Verdict
A well-proportioned 78ft sailing catamaran with proven charter-friendly accommodation, practical cruising systems, and a credible Tri Marine build. It balances space and comfort well, though the 2003 platform is older and the differing builder/design attributions warrant careful verification before purchase.
Pros
- +78ft catamaran layout gives strong interior volume and deck space
- +3 cabins for 6 guests suits private cruising or charter use
- +Air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, autopilot and GPS support comfortable cruising
- +3 crew and 3 ensuite bathrooms improve serviceability and guest privacy
Cons
- −2003 build means an older platform versus newer competitors
- −Public sources disagree on builder/design attribution
- −Performance is limited by modest 110 HP Nanni propulsion
- −Fuel capacity is not publicly confirmed
TAJ is a 78ft catamaran from 2003 with a layout aimed at spacious cruising rather than speed. The confirmed Tri Marine build and 24.02 m length point to a large-volume multihull with the advantages expected from the type: stable platform, generous deck area, and strong liveaboard appeal. Public listings also disagree on some attribution details, so the build history should be checked carefully.
On the water, the reported 110 HP Nanni engine suggests pragmatic rather than high-performance power. That should be adequate for routine maneuvering and cruising support, but it does not imply strong motoring pace. The catamaran format should make it predictable and steady in ordinary conditions, though handling will depend on sail inventory, load, and the specific refit status.
Comfort is a clear strength. Three cabins for six guests, three ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, and a crew of three make the boat well suited to relaxed private use or charter-style operation. The value case is solid if the vessel is well maintained, but as a 2003 yacht it should be assessed for upgrades, systems condition, and service history before purchase.
