About
The Katania is a classic Burger, and one of the most beautiful in the world. Built as one of America's first aluminum superyachts, for many years she was owned by one of South America's leading industrialists. In 1991, he commissioned the famed American yacht designer, Jack Hargrave, to extend and completely refit the vessel with all new, more powerful systems. The result is a vessel with unique eye-catching lines, that draws attention in every port she enters. In 1999, CEO Expeditions purchased her, and completed a meticulous classic interior refit to match her external elegance.To explore these beautiful islands there is no better yacht than the Katania. She is a true expedition vessel, with more facilities than most, and is equipped with true ocean going capabilities. And with 1000 horsepower engines, she is fast enough to cover a greater area so you can enjoy more of the area's unique beauty. Because of her shallow draft and powerful engines she can handle the ripping tides and river currents to explore where cruise ships can’t go.To further enhance your experience aboard one of our yachts, enjoy culinary masterpieces prepared just for you by our master chef.
