Six double cabins (three on each side), plus one double crew cabin. Bedding for all but the crew cabin has been removed to facilitate storage, and all other areas cleared for holding stock and diving and safety equipment. Two marine toilets (one on each side).

Deck
All decks lifted and restored, with all tropical hardwood center decking renewed and reinforced new stanchions and lifelines, new seating, new bimini, new cushions, new trampoline, new beach-landing ladder, all 2009. Hardwood decks are a particularly unusual and very attractive feature, rarely seen on catamarans, and not only provides excellent footing, space for additional things like kayaks and other water equipment, but a fine dance floor as well! Special decklights have also been installed for 'partying late!'

Composite (West system ply and mahogany veneer)'V' hulls with skeg/rudders, 2 x 55 Lbs Fortess anchors with chain and multi-strand rodes (2005), new electric windlass (2009).

Additional
We sold this boat to the current owners in October 2008, and they had fine dreams and a solid business plan for operating day excusions in the Antigua area, but the costs of refit, combined with the economic downturn have forced them to revise their plans. Five months were spent refitting this boat for day excursions, and it is now certified for 65 passengers and 5 crew, and includes 70 life jackets with lights, snorkle gear for 70, snorkle vests for 70. 'Hokule'a' is an excellent choice for any day excursion charter company, or anyone interested in converting it back to a unique, and very special yacht!
