Oceanis 45

Kalimba an Oceanis 45 has three double cabins, sleeping six people. Two more can be accommodated on the let-down table in the saloon. On skippered charter our skipper takes one cabin and we can take four adults (two couples) in the other cabins. The fore cabin is luxurious, full height, with plenty of cupboards and its own en suite bathroom. The stern port-side cabin is smaller with restricted headroom and shares a bathroom with the skippers cabin. The let-down table in the saloon is the biggest bed on board and would be suitable for two children sharing or two further adults.

Unlike most vessels available for charter, Kalimba is fully equipped for blue water passages and has sailed across the Atlantic. A featre most important to charterers is that Kalimba has a fresh water maker meaning there’s no need for water rationing of showers and definitely no need to wash in the salt water (those who have chartered before will understand how good this is!) Kalimba also has a 240V generator, which means you are not restricted to 12V so your phones and cameras can be charged, hair dryers will work and you can use the microwave oven. Other features of Kalimba are listed below.

Exterior Design

On a very stable seaworthy hull, the Oceanis 45’s deck plan clears space and simplifies manoeuvring. She has made very good progress in her ability to combine sailing speed and the pleasure of living on board. Long cruises are now much safer. The drop down transom opens completely and converts into a swim platform, perfect in the Caribbean, Natural solid wood decking on  the side decks and swim platform, add style to the yacht. A stainless steel swim ladder is provided. She has a twin steering system which makes moving around the cockpit a breeze.
