Privilege 585 catamaran.

The Privilege 585 offers a standard of living afloat, which rivals many an opulent apartment ashore. With an expansive bridge deck and roomy cabins, the Privilege 585 makes an ideal charter yacht, with some currently in charter around the world. Though not only suited to that purpose, this catamaran is equally at home as a bluewater, liveaboard cruiser. Able to complete a circumnavigation with ease, while cruising in complete luxury.

DESIGN – INTERIOR & EXTERIOR

Since the creation of the boatyard in 1985, Privilege 585 builder Alliaura Marine was fundamental among the leaders in the high-end multihulls market. This builder is well known for building catamarans for cruising, where security and comfort matters as much as their sailing ability. With the help of renowned naval architect Marc Lombard, the Privilege series succeeded in establishing a bespoke family of yachts that meet the highest possible expectation. An innovative designer combined with outstanding craftsmanship resulted in the creation of this strong, comfortable, and powerful catamaran.

With only 24 of Privilege 585s produced from 2002 through to 2006, it holds a respected position in the catamaran market. As expected, all equipment aboard these luxury catamarans is of high quality, from the nav station to the chefs galley. The vast interior finished in beech timber provides a refreshingly light and welcoming space.

The large volume allows for an extensive inventory and would suit someone wishing to step aboard and go cruising. And with options from watermakers to huge cold storage, comprehensive navigation systems to a dishwasher, nothing more is required. On the deck, electric winches take care of all sailing loads, making her a breeze to handle. While down below, twin well-sized main engines and gensets along with solar provide all the speed and power you will need.

The helm on the port side is situated up high for excellent visibility while underway. An oversized double pilot chair lets you enjoy the sailing experience with others. The location of the helm is well thought out, allowing for direct communication with those on deck for safety. But also for convenience, being in close contact with others who are relaxing in the cockpit area and saloon.

The cockpit is spacious with plenty of room to move about while incorporating a Teak cockpit table on stainless steel supports, able to seat six. And with three comfortably cushioned large benches, there is ample space for lounging about. 

Very large steps on the sugar scoops make for easy access and swim ladders allowing easy entry into and from the water. There is ample space on the large bottom transom platform to bring the catch of the day aboard or to store the watersports equipment in between sessions. Rinsing off can be done with the two deck showers, hot and cold, after a long day in the water.

With storage lockers underfloor, a rack for scuba-diving cylinders is situated in the aft locker and adequate space to store a diving compressor securely. Plenty of storage is available for the dive gear, kitesurfing and stand up paddleboards in this uncluttered and ample space.

Forward, there is a vast deck space with large sunbathing areas, two trampolines with pulpits, and four teak seats suitable for enjoying sundowners. The bimini is quite large, adequately providing protection, and also providing space for solar panels.

Through the oversized aluminum sliding door, three steps lead down into the spacious saloon. Large windows give exceptional panoramic views both for peace of mind and the simple pleasures of viewing your picturesque surroundings. The large saloon layout comprised of two leather sofas and a bar. A more than adequate navigation station is located behind the helm bulkhead on the port side, with access to electrical panels and instrumentation.

The round table with generously cushioned seats would make inside dining a very comfortable experience. An additional lounging area in L-shape with footrests and coffee table allows ample space for all guests. Suitable storage space is provided under the seats and behind the lounge, with further storage available in lockers below the floor. A bar is conveniently located up top in the bridge deck, making this area ideal for movie nights after sundowners. 

The well-appointed galley is located down on the starboard side. With room for all the luxuries, you would expect in a yacht of this caliber, such as two working benchtops, a double stainless steel sink, mixed electric and steam oven, dishwasher, and microwave. As a walk through the galley, it’s well ventilated, enjoying lots of light, both through light fixtures and natural light through multiple hatches. The placement of the large hatch above the double sink allows for ample fresh air while preparing your freshly caught dinner. 

ACCOMMODATIONS

The Privilege 585 is available in both charter or owners versions, consisting of four double cabins and three single crew quarters or a five double cabin and one single layout. Sleeping 8 in total comfort, plus up to three crew, makes this catamaran ideal for larger families or groups of friends.

All cabins are well-lit and bright, finished in light Beech wood adding to the luxurious appeal. The king-size double cabins each have private heads for maximum comfort and privacy. Large, comfortable seats in these berths make an ideal place to sit and read while taking a break from the adventure topside. 

All cabins are well ventilated and enjoy lots of light, both through light fixtures and natural light through multiple hatches, placed to capture fresh ocean breezes. Ample storage is provided in the cabins along with excellent counter space that makes life very comfortable for extended trips and living aboard.

Privilège Catamarans were launched back in the eighties by Philippe Jeantot (twice world champion in single-handed sailing and founder of the Vendee Globe) and René Bernard through the Jeantot Marine Shipyard in Les Sables d’Olonne.

In 1996, the shipyard was sold to a new owner (La Groupe SGGR) and was renamed Alliaura Marine.

Privilege Marine Shipyard, controlled by Gilles Wagner became the new owners from 2012 until Hanse Yachts bought the Privilege brand, moulds and shipyard in 2017. In 2022, Hanse announced that they would be selling their shareholding.

Hanse have launched 3 designs: the Signature 510, the Signature 580 and the Signature 650. They continue to build the Series 740 (the flagship) from Privilege Marine days.

Marc Lombard got involved with the brand back in 1987 and has been heavily involved with the designs since that time.

Privilege are famous for producing high quality cruising catamarans: the focus is on quality rather than quantity. One of the key design features over the years has been the large owner’s suite located into the forward nacelle. As well as creating more living space, this structure provides buoyancy in heavy seas and stiffness to the whole structure. These strong cats ae known for their stability and seaworthiness.

The build quality and finishing of a Privilege is a step above the competition, and this is reflected in their strong resale values.

Privelége 615

• By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: February 27, 2015

Privilège Marine, a French builder of big bluewater cruising catamarans, arrived in style at Strictly Sail Miami this past winter with two cats for the company’s first visit to a U.S. show in several years. Models on display included the 745, the company’s longtime flagship, and a more modern sailboat, the 615, a 62-footer that’s an anchor for the company’s new Series 6.0 line of cats (there will also be a 5.0 and 7.0 series as production gathers steam).

Privilège’s roots go back to 1985, when winning BOC Challenge singlehanded racer Philippe Jeantot founded the company and set up shop in Les Sables-d’Olonne. In 1996, the company expanded under the direction of Alliaura Marine, producing both catamarans and the Feeling brand of monohulls. The company hit a rough patch with the global financial meltdown, but the brand was brought back to life in 2012 under the direction of Gilles Wagner, and with many from the old team back at work in the Privilège yard.

The 615 is a lovely boat. In keeping with the latest style, it sports a flybridge complete with twin wheels (the starboard wheel is an option, as is a second set of engine controls) and a sprawling sun bed where the crew can lounge the day away. Stairs on either side lead below to a generous cockpit, where a second lounging area sits to port; a long oval table is to starboard.

A large centerline sliding door opens to the saloon, a couple of steps down. Indoors, an L-shaped couch surrounds another large table, with director-style chairs that can be moved about as needed. A very sea-kindly and fully equipped galley is located in the saloon’s forward starboard corner (galley down in the starboard hull is another option). A nav station is to port and can be equipped with a joystick and engine controls to make an additional helm station.

A couple of living accommodations are available: a five-cabin charter version and the four-cabin owner’s model, which was at the show. The starboard hull is fairly conventional, with a fore and aft cabin, both with en suite heads and showers. An additional fridge and freezer were located amidships. To port, a third cabin took up the aft portion of that hull; the owner’s suite stretched from amidships forward and culminated in the master bedroom, spanning the entire area forward of the mast. The layout, space, and fit and finish were nothing short of stunning.

Despite its size, under sail the 615 was one of the easier of the large cats to handle. Though a staysail and gennaker are both options, this boat had a single furling genoa with sheets led to electric winches on either side of the flybridge. In 9 knots of true wind, we skipped right along at nearly 7 knots closehauled. Later, reaching in a 13-knot breeze, the speed climbed to an effortless 9 knots (and more).

As we turned around off South Beach to head back for the barn, I stepped below briefly and revisited the owner’s stateroom, marveling at the silence below: just what you want to hear on a long downwind sail to nowhere.

Tour boat's close encounter with humpback whale captured on video

Adult female named cork thrills passengers and crew alike.

When a humpback comes to say ‘hello’

Social sharing.

Passengers on a whale-watching tour in Saint Andrews got their money's worth during a breath-taking close encounter with a humpback whale on the Bay of Fundy.

It was a foggy day and everyone aboard the catamaran was focused on a minke whale when one of the Quoddy Link Marine crew heard a larger whale blowing just beyond their vision, said Danielle Dion, the tour company's senior naturalist.

The captain slowly headed in that direction and they found a finback, as well as a humpback Dion recognized as being Cork, a large, adult female.

The boat stopped a safe distance away and Cork soon surfaced nearby.

The next time she came up, "she came right towards us and underneath our stern and came up on the other side," before diving and showing her fluke, or tail, said Dion.

"Oh my God," several passengers exclaimed in a video of the encounter, which has been posted on the company's Facebook page.

"They were excited, definitely," said Dion, who found herself in tears. "And they always get more excited when the crew, obviously, gets excited.

Dion has watched Cork grow over the past two decades.

"Hi, baby girl," she cried out to the whale in the video. "Oh, you're so big!"

"To spend 20 years with a wild animal and in their environment and watch them grow up from, you know, a very young juvenile whale to a beautiful adult female is a privilege and not something I take lightly," Dion told CBC News.

"But to have her, I don't know, return that a little bit, to see that curiosity, is always special, but when it's a whale that you know so well, it's an emotional experience for me."

'Not common'

Such close approaches are "not common," according to Dion.

Whales that are in the Bay of Fundy are there to feed, "and that's really what's on their mind most of the time," she said.

They all have different personalities, however, and some are more curious than others, said Dion, who works collaboratively with the humpback whale research team at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, Mass., which maintains a catalogue of humpback whales.

The team is able to identify the whales by the black and white pattern on the underside of their flukes. "It's a fingerprint and every whale's different," said Dion.

The whales, which grow up to about 18 metres in length and weigh up to about 36 tonnes, can also be identified by their dorsal fins and sometimes the shape of their fluke. The tips of Cork's fluke, for example, "droop over a little bit, so she's easily recognizable," she said.

Whale in 2017 held passengers 'hostage'

Dion, who is in her 23rd season, has gotten "quite close" to a number of whales during that time, including a young one that "pretty much [held] us hostage" every time they saw it in 2017.

"It's called mugging," she said. "Whales will hang out around a boat and literally you can't leave until — and we could be there for an hour with that whale just circling us over and over."

Cork was among the closest though.

Whether she came over to say hello, or was just headed in that direction, Dion can't say for sure.

"Part of me appreciates that we don't know everything about them. I mean, they live in an environment that is so mysterious to us."

Either way, she said, "it was a very special experience."
