S/V Sun Cat — a 2011 Custom Sunrise 59 Day Charter located in Panama City, PA, for sale by broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary.
The Sun Cat 59 is a very attractive and efficient day-charter cat. It was conceived and built specifically for day charter. This cat will sail in the 10–15 kts range very easily, and her twin 75 hp Yanmars will push the boat well over 10 kts when the wind is absent. She will get you to your destination reliably and on time. She is very fuel efficient and very easy to maintain—just hose down the bridgedeck at the end of the day and you are ready to head back out the next day. Capacity is 50 passengers.
The starboard engine was replaced in 2023 with a Yanmar 75 hp engine.
