Lightwave Yachts has long set the benchmark for multihull design and manufacturing, never compromising on quality, craftsmanship or innovation.
Founded in 1996, by Roger Overell, Managing Director, Lightwave Catamarans remains as the only Australian manufacturer of production cruising catamarans. Expertly creating one of a kind catamarans, Lightwave Yachts builds to order. Every Lightwave is personally crafted for each owner.
Launched originally in 2002, the Lightwave 38 is the most refined Lightwave design. It was re-released as updated models in 2006 and 2010.
OUT OF THE BLUE is an owner version cat with the port hull dedicated as such. She is a galley down design, a very neat design galley in the starboard hull. One double cabin in the port side and two to starboard.
The fit and finish of the boat inside and out is very good, she has many good qualities, the protected helm a great asset.
Energetically prepared for sale, the boat has had plenty of new installations in 2024 including new cabin portlights, all new clears and covers, new pumps for the heads, fresh water and sea water flushing, new EPIRB plus personal locators, six person life raft in service March 2024 and more....
