Asking Price: €695,000
An exceptional opportunity to acquire VALERIE, a 2019 DH550 – a spacious, robust and capable 55-foot bluewater cruising catamaran designed for comfortable long-distance sailing and tropical living.
VALERIE combines generous living spaces, excellent stability and serious cruising capability with the advantage of having undergone an extensive refit and upgrade programme during 2025–2026.
Significant investment has been made in the yacht's mechanical systems, electrical installation, navigation equipment, energy management, deck equipment and interior/exterior comfort.
The result is a well-equipped 55-foot catamaran ready for her next owner, whether for private bluewater cruising, liveaboard use or continued charter operation.

WHY VALERIE?
At approximately 55 feet, VALERIE offers considerably more space than many conventional charter catamarans while retaining the characteristics of a capable offshore cruising yacht.
Her layout provides excellent separation between guest and crew areas, generous exterior spaces and comfortable accommodation for extended stays aboard.
The extensive 2025–2026 refit represents a substantial investment, with many of the yacht's most important and expensive systems already renewed or upgraded.
Particularly valuable improvements include the new Kohler generator, lithium battery system, solar installation, Garmin navigation equipment, new exterior helm station and upgraded reinforced davit system.
VALERIE is therefore particularly attractive for an owner looking for a large catamaran without immediately facing the major upgrade programme often required after purchasing a yacht of this size and age.

Charter investment
VALERIE has already operated successfully in the Seychelles charter market and offers an attractive platform for an owner wishing to combine private use with charter operation.
