M/Y Moana
A 2000 Custom 78-footer on the market through the YATCO MLS.
"Moana" is a 2000 Custom 78' power catamaran offered for sale at $1,350,000, lying Miami, Florida. Power catamarans are the fastest-growing hull form in the US brokerage market - stability without stabilizers, shallow draft, and volume no monohull matches - and South Florida is where the deepest cat inventory trades.
Power is 1 x 660, 660 hp each, showing 2,505 hours. She cruises around 12 knots, carrying 4,800 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 4 staterooms for 12 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 3. She carries naval architecture by Tennant.

Who is selling "Moana"?
"Moana" is offered by its listing brokerage through the YATCO MLS. Greg Gaus of Double G Yacht Sales represents you, the buyer: independent advice on price, survey attendance, and negotiation, paid from the existing listing commission - never by you.
What does it cost to run a 78-foot power catamaran?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 78-footer typically run mid to high six figures per year, with a crew of roughly four to six, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "Moana"?
She is lying in Miami, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 12 knots and 4,800 gallons of fuel with 1 x 660, 660 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
