Kelsall 58 Offshore Expedition Catamaran
Designed for autonomous long-range cruising, Ocean Jedi is a rare custom-built Kelsall 58 offshore catamaran combining exceptional ocean capability, structural strength and serious liveaboard autonomy.
Designed by renowned multihull designer Derek Kelsall and built by Ballotta Catamarans in Peru, this owner’s version has never been used for charter and has benefited from continuous professional maintenance throughout her life.
Unlike many modern production catamarans focused primarily on marina comfort, Ocean Jedi was built with offshore capability and structural integrity in mind. She has completed extensive ocean cruising throughout the Caribbean, the US East Coast and a transatlantic crossing to Europe via Bermuda and the Azores, proving herself in demanding offshore conditions.
A major mechanical and systems refit completed in 2025 included:
With twin 12 kW Northern Lights generators, lithium batteries replaced in 2022, 1400W of solar power, twin watermakers, hydraulic steering, electric winches and bow thrusters, the yacht is exceptionally well equipped for autonomous long-range cruising and full-time liveaboard use.
The spacious galley-up layout offers excellent visibility, natural light and ventilation, with four double guest cabins all featuring private en-suite bathrooms. Her practical interior prioritises comfort, durability and functionality for serious cruising rather than short-term charter use.
Key Features:
Ocean Jedi represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven bluewater catamaran offering exceptional offshore capability, autonomy and structural strength at a highly competitive price point compared with many modern production catamarans.
The yacht is currently offered without EU VAT paid status.

We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region.
