An excellent CruiseR
La Surprise has all the hallmarks of an incredibly high performance 20-metre multihull. Up or downwind, the Alibi 65 is a joy to steer and manoeuvre, even short-handed. Unlike many catamarans, she is highly responsive to steering with a fingertip sensation that the boat is alive. We bet that once you have had a taste of the helm, you will not want to hand it over! If you ask them, the captain and the first mate will be happy to share their sailing techniques, or even to let you join in the night watches. Cruises on La Surprise are second to none, an authentic way to travel to far-off lands and en-counter little-known cultures, and enjoy interacting with people and sharing experiences – it will catch you by surprise!

Living Spaces
With a practical modern interior, the boat is easy to move around and the fittings are cleverly de-signed. The living spaces are spacious and bright open to the exterior, such as the saloon, which has an all-round view and extends outdoors into the cockpit offering a shaded lounge space. The galley is midship, which means that the guests can interact with the chef. Meals are taken in the saloon, inside, or in the shaded cockpit.
