"SANTTINA"2004 Custom 70' Aluminum Expedition Catamaran One Family Owned Since New | Engineered to Explore | Designed to be Beached | Powered by Twin Mercedes-Benz reliable Commercial Diesels
Some yachts are designed to impress at the dock.
Others are built to go places few vessels ever will.
"Santtina" belongs firmly in the second category.
The story behind Sattina is fascinating. Please pay particular attention to the images on this listing showing her construction in detail. Vessels built like this simply do not come to market often. She has been loved by one family since building her in 2004.
Purpose-built in Brazil as an all-aluminum expedition platform, Santtina represents a philosophy rarely found in modern yacht construction—strength before fashion, engineering before compromise, and capability before convention.
Unlike production fiberglass catamarans, Santtina was designed from the keel up as a commercial-grade offshore platform capable of serving multiple missions. Whether envisioned as an expedition yacht, explorer vessel, luxury liveaboard, eco-tourism platform, dive operation, mothership or private island retreat, she delivers an extraordinary foundation upon which almost any adventure can be built.
A Rare Engineering Pedigree
One of Santtina's most compelling attributes lies beneath the polished aluminum and expansive living spaces.
The vessel was engineered by the respected Brazilian naval architecture office Equipe Thierry Stump, a firm recognized throughout Brazil for custom aluminum yachts, expedition vessels and commercial craft. The firm's work has been associated with aluminum exploration projects developed alongside legendary explorer Amyr Klink, whose purpose-built expedition yachts have become icons of long-range ocean exploration.
While Santtina was built as her own unique project, she comes from this same engineering environment—one where structural integrity, offshore capability and practical aluminum construction have always taken precedence over trends and fashion.
The vessel's engineering plans were prepared under the responsibility of Brazilian naval engineer Amauri Renato Massagão, providing an additional level of documented engineering provenance seldom found in custom-built yachts.
Built to Last
Santtina was constructed entirely from marine-grade aluminum utilizing welded aluminum plate reinforced with substantial structural framing throughout the hulls, bridge deck and superstructure.
Unlike fiberglass production yachts, aluminum offers exceptional impact resistance, ease of repair anywhere in the world, structural longevity and excellent strength-to-weight characteristics.
The catamaran incorporates four watertight hull compartments together with extensive welded structural members throughout the hulls, reflecting a vessel conceived for serious offshore service rather than coastal cruising alone.
The Space of a 100-Foot Yacht
At 21.11 metres (70 feet) with an extraordinary 9.34 metre beam (over 30 feet), Santtina offers approximately 320 square metres of usable living and deck space.
Her broad beam creates exceptional stability while simultaneously providing an amount of usable living area normally associated with yachts approaching 100 feet.
The expansive foredeck, enormous aft entertaining area, elevated flybridge and panoramic main salon create multiple social spaces capable of comfortably accommodating large groups while still maintaining excellent privacy for overnight guests.
