New Caledonia Keeps Innovating: New Maxi-Catamaran

The Nautilus 360: A Unique Maxi Catamaran in New Caledonia

A breath of fresh air is sweeping across New Caledonian waters with the arrival of the Nautilus 360, a 24-metre sailing maxi catamaran that has become the largest vessel of its kind in the region. Based in Nouméa, this true giant of the seas combines innovation, sustainability, and an immersive experience for its passengers.

A Vessel of Endless Possibilities

Equipped with two masts and a sail area of 250 m², the Nautilus 360 can accommodate up to 28 passengers for day trips and 14 people for overnight stays, a capacity that is set to be extended to 20 in the near future. This catamaran is more than just a sailing boat: it serves as a versatile platform for tailored outings, cruises, corporate events, and even conferences. With its three distinct spaces — rooftop, lounge, and cockpit — as well as its indoor and outdoor bars and fully equipped kitchen, the Nautilus 360 brings together all the ingredients for a unique experience at sea.

A Sustainable Approach

Beyond its premium services, the Nautilus 360 embraces a philosophy firmly oriented towards the environment. Sailing under wind power is a priority for its crew, who also commit to offsetting the carbon footprint of every outing through tree-planting in partnership with the Calédoclean association.

This commitment to preserving New Caledonia's lagoons is also reflected in awareness-raising activities and innovative scientific projects, such as "Immersion in the Heart of New Caledonia's Lagoons." This project uses virtual reality technology to offer an immersive experience to the general public and school children, while contributing to citizen science.

An Immersive and Educational Experience

Outings organised on board the Nautilus 360 often combine enjoyment with learning. Whether through scuba diving, scientific expeditions, or educational workshops, the catamaran appeals to both businesses and individuals. During corporate outings, participants can enjoy immersive activities such as virtual reality screenings to discover the underwater treasures of New Caledonia.

A Diverse Range of Offerings

The Nautilus 360 offers a comprehensive range of services:

• Full-day or half-day outings

• Tailor-made cruises in New Caledonia or across the Pacific

• Themed evenings, including sunset viewing

• Educational workshops and sea-based school trips

• Professional or private events with cocktail service

For larger groups, a double catamaran service can be arranged, accommodating up to 52 people.

A New Asset for Maritime Tourism

With its blend of comfort, eco-responsibility, and innovation, the Nautilus 360 promises to redefine the maritime experience in New Caledonia. Whether for exploring the lagoons or strengthening team cohesion, this maxi catamaran is already establishing itself as an unmissable landmark.
