The Privilege shipyard in France has just finished its third Privilege 745. This is the largest catamaran built by Privilege. The architect Marc Lombard said he designed a very stable boat that could satisfy both sail and power yacht fans. She can average 15 knots sailing and 12 knots motoring.

Step into Matau's salon whose stunning décor has more than a dash of art deco style with pale wood, white leather upholstery and sophisticated black and red accents. The perfect setting for cosmopolitans and martinis with Noel Coward songs playing in the background.

The interior was designed by Dierdre Design a multi-awarded Design company. There is ample room inside, with an impressive Master suite with its own full-size jacuzzi tub. Matau has accommodation for eight in one king and three queen en suite, air-conditioned cabins. All guests' state rooms have true walk-around berths.

There are so many choices on deck - the trampolines, aft deck, bridge deck, the teak beach, and broad steps aft (for easy water access) - that everyone will find their own favorite spot for sunning and relaxing.

Matau is the ultimate crewed catamaran for luxury, space and 5 star service.
