Awatea is not your average charter yacht. Seamlessly blending luxury and performance, she is the ideal yacht for the more adventurous clientele who also seek a high-end experience. A 2019, 63ft Balance, built in South Africa, she was custom built as an expedition charter yacht for one of the founders of Balance catamarans. No detail went unmissed in the design stage, and all was executed perfectly during the build. Awatea is truly a work of art that anyone can appreciate. If you enjoy smooth sailing, exquisite food, and a variety of adventurous activities then Awatea is the boat for you. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a central, open plan galley, a fully-equipped bar, a café quality barista set up, duel gas/charcoal BBQ, pizza oven and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with the perfect al fresco dining area, sheltered from the sun and wind, Awatea provides the perfect dining experience from dawn till dusk. The interior of Awatea boasts clean lines and a calming colour palette, creating a serene and modern atmosphere. The interior design gives a nod to the owner's South Pacific roots, which are subtly woven throughout the boat in pieces of art, handcrafted wood items and thoughtful details. Awatea provides ample lounging space, from day beds in the cockpit, to beanbags on the huge bow under the shade sail, to the multitudes of hammocks able to be strung up to enjoy a warm breeze and a cool cocktail. After a full day in the sun and a beautiful meal, you can cozy in and enjoy a movie or the game on the drop down projector screen. Awatea has a built in scuba diving compressor with multiple sets of scuba gear. Awatea boasts one of the most varied water sports inventory of the BVI charter boats. From tow sports to beach games to game fishing, Awatea is sure to keep everyone busy. The challenge will be to find enough time to try everything out! The hulls provide deceiving volume to this sleek yacht. Airy, spacious guest cabins provide a comfortable oasis with ample storage spaces as well as sizeable ensuites with separate shower and head. Both sides of the boat, port and starboard are mirror images of each other with the aft cabins boasting king beds, the mid ships offering queen beds and the port forward providing a double bed. Awatea sleeps up to ten guests in five cabins, with each bed being able to be partitioned in two to accommodate singles. A perfect setting to rest your body after a long day _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Awatea (pronounced ah-wah-TAY-ah) is a Māori word from New Zealand, meaning dawn of a new day or new beginnings. The word can be seen as a symbol of hope, with the term signifying a transition from darkness to light, embodying hope and new beginnings. The owners renamed the boat to Awatea after their purchase to pay tribute to their New Zealand roots and as a representation of the new venture they have embarked on; both physically and metaphorically. The name has also proved fitting for guests. When they board Awatea, they often arrive not knowing what to expect as it is their first true experience living on the water. Once the week is up, they leave, having pushed themselves outside their comfort zones, discovered new passions and built stronger bonds with their families. _________________________________________________________________________________________________
