TexPress was meticulously crafted and refurbished for its owner, an Australian 1988 Olympic Tornado catamaran sailor. Every detail reflects a passion for sailing and a commitment to quality:

​

  • Powerful Engines: Equipped with twin Yanmar 110 hp engines – double the power of standard 54-57 hp engines found in most catamarans of this size.

  • Impressive Speed: Cruise comfortably at 10 knots (18 km/h) at just two-thirds RPM.

  • Unmatched Range: Cover the entire Dalmatian Coast to Dubrovnik in just 10 hours on your first day, or sail from the Ionian Sea to Corfu the next. Visit our Mediterranean Destinations page to learn more about where to travel.

  • Sailing Thrills: With an 84m² mainsail on an 18.3m mast and a large gennaker for reaching and downwind sailing, TexPress delivers exhilarating performance under sail. Combine sail and engine power for even greater speed.​
