CARINA S – 16m Classic Pilothouse Ketch

Bluewater Cruiser | Long Keel | Extensive Upgrades | Spacious Pilothouse

CARINA S is a 16-meter classic long-keel pilothouse ketch designed for safe and comfortable offshore cruising. Built with a solid GRP hull and traditional ketch rig, she offers excellent seaworthiness, stability, and balanced sailing performance.

The raised pilothouse saloon provides panoramic visibility and weather protection, allowing safe navigation in all conditions. Her large flat teak deck offers unrestricted movement and generous outdoor space, unlike the recessed “bathtub” cockpits common on many modern yachts.

The yacht has benefited from significant upgrades, including a 270 HP MAN marine diesel engine installed in 2017, a modern lithium battery system (2022), solar charging, and numerous system improvements. With large tank capacities and comfortable accommodation, CARINA S is well suited for extended cruising or liveaboard sailing.
