A WORD FROM THE OWNERS:

"I am an avid surfer and have been coming to Fiji for 30 years. It wasn't until 2023 where I really noticed all of the sailboats in and around the Mamanuca islands and especially anchored at the world famous surf break "Cloudbreak" which is my favorite spot to surf on the planet. I had spent many years visiting the island of Tavarua and dreamed of having a boat to explore and surf in and around Fiji. I had been looking for a year and Tropical Abundance (ex "Sunny") popped up. Once I saw her online I knew she was the one. I loved hearing about her voyages with multiple families spanning many years and many miles. I knew that her being a smaller cat I would be able to man here alone and boy was I right. She is a true delight to sail and handle. Her layout is super unique and homy. With her 3 berths, spacious salon and accommodation galley she is a special cat. The Privilege is a very sought after hull and now by experiencing here I understand. She is older but never lacks character and usage. If you know the Privilege you know, and if you don't I highly recommend having a go on this incredible yacht. Sadly after 2 years of living my dream in Fiji doing what I thought was not possible I've decided (because of my family in California I am not able to use it as often as I would have liked to) it's time to let her go to the next owners to enjoy and explore! It's been such an amazing experience and I'm delighted to pass it along!" (Troy E. Fiji, July 2026)

ELECTRICS:

The solar system is split into two independent systems for optimal generation.

400Ah of lithium batteries (equivalent to 720Ah of lead acid).  Lithium batteries allow a more powerful windlass to be installed - and enables sailing off anchor without starting the engines.  It also means the solar system is able to charge much more efficiently.  The alternators are only needed for service battery charging in an emergency.

The original design is a single starter battery which starts both engines.  This was reconfigured to allow each engine to run off its own starter battery for safety and peace of mind. Electrics include:

HISTORY:

Tropical Aundance, previously named Belladonna, then Sunny, has only had 5 owners and was never chartered. Our company Nautilus Yacht Management has already sold her to her two previous owners, so we have known this lovely yacht for many years and have been able to appreciate the level of care she has always been shown. The original owner kept Belladonna in Spain most of the time.  Belladonna was looked after professionally by the yard and launched for short holidays. She has had very little use in her first 15 years.

The second owners bought Belladonna in 2017 and re-fitted her ready for long distance sailing with their two daughters.  They sailed from the UK to French Polynesia between 2018 and 2022. In February 2023, Nautilus Yacht Management sold Belladonna to an Australian couple who enjoyed exploring the South Pacific for a few months and renamed her Sunny, before circumstances forced them to sell. She was then purchased by a family from the US. With only a short sabbatical due to work pressure and children having to get back to school, Sunny was sold to her current owner, an avid surfer from the US who has kept her in Fiji for the past 3 years, keeping her in dry storage during his months of absence and always with a caretaker. Renamed Tropical Abundance by her current owner, this lovely catamaran is now available again and presents an amazing opportunity for someone looking for an affordable catamaran with renowned pedigree and seaworthy capability equipped as a comfortable live aboard and presented in excellent condition.

DEFICIENCIES:

  • Some watermarks to interior timber lining in saloon due to a leak developing beneath one of the large windows and ageing caulking.
  • The large windows are being removed and professionally re-bedded at the time of listing.
  • Some water damage to the timber lining in port cabin due to a leaking porthole hinge. The porthole has been replaced.
