Tortue 147, JEFF

Broker’s Comments

JEFF is a Tortue 147 built by the Cataruga Shipyard. She is the result of a clear ambition: to design and build an ocean-going catamaran that is intelligent, robust, elegant, and sustainable. Measuring 14.70 meters in length with a 7.85-meter beam, she combines high-performance architecture with a simplified sailing experience.

Every detail has been carefully crafted for the sailor’s comfort. JEFF boasts a refined interior layout, bright and airy cabins, a central island kitchen, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. The design, by Jean-Michel Kalfon, embodies Cataruga’s understated and distinctive elegance.

She was designed to deliver autonomy and peace of mind, featuring unique innovations for a vessel of this size: reverse bows to reduce drag, transverse/longitudinal plating, an adjustable ballast system, ergonomic helm stations, 5.5 kW solar panels, and hybrid or electric propulsion.

Time spent on JEFF offers comfort without compromise, providing a true living space designed for everyday ease. Her interior gives guests generous volumes, light-filled spaces, and welcoming cabins inspired by cozy retreats. The fully equipped kitchen with a central island is a fun, sociable space, while a wooden deck naturally extends the interior to the outdoors. The owner’s cabin, located in the nacelle, offers a haven of preserved calm. Every detail fosters a fluid dialogue between interior and exterior, creating an onboard experience reminiscent of the harmony of a home.
