The Admiral 38 (Celtic Yachts, formerly Admiral Yachts, Cape Town, South Africa), designed by Angelo Lavranos, is known to be as practical as she is performant. Thanks to her well-thought-out layout, the 38ft version compares with any 40ft catamaran and offers a remarkable amount of storage space.
The layout of this spacious cruising catamaran is ideal for families or couples: 3 double cabins, 2 heads with separate showers, and an open saloon/galley. The cockpit is large and well shaded.
Commercially registered for up to 20 guests, plus crew.
