Lyra Noa is a Balance 60 that was stretched on the sterns to become a custom Balance 64. She was designed and crafted specifically for the owner of Nexus Yachts, who builds the Balance 526, 580 and 620. He built her for himself as an offshore adventure cat for surfing, fishing and diving charters. With 6 double cabins and all of the serious gear one needs for fishing, diving and off-the-grid adventures, she is a unique performance sailing catamaran unlike all others.
Lyra Noa, like all of our larger Balance cats, is designed and built of a carbon reinforced, foam core, total epoxy construction. She is light, strong, and exceptionally fast yet has the capacity to carry significant cruising payloads.She was launched in 2019 in Saint Francis, South Africa, and due to the pandemic, her owner was unable to use her as planned. He then eventually decided to sail her to the Cape Verde Islands for a fishing expedition. That mission was called short due to the rapid expansion of Balance Catamarans and the need for him to return to Saint Francis to oversee the third factory expansion in three years.
Lyra was then sailed to Panama and it was decided to put her up for sale as her owner has three years of a busy build schedule to oversee and no longer has the time to sail her or manage the adventure charter operation he first envisioned. Lyra Noa arrived in Florida in December 2022 for inspection and sale.
The owner of the boat is a lifetime seaman and in addition to owning the company that built her, owns and operates a fleet of fishing boats. Lyra Noa is reflective of his deep pool of experience sailing and operating boats in the rough waters of South Africa. He knows how to build a catamaran, how to fit one out, how to make a performance catamaran capable of off-the-grid adventuring. So while it is the case that Lyra Noa is a "charter boat" (because she has 6 double cabins) she is anything but typical of a charter boat - she is fast, she is robust, she is equipped and designed to go just about anywhere and sustain herself. She'll do windspeeds reaching in 8 knots of breeze, but can still carry a big genset, dive compressor, dive tanks, fishing gear, etc. etc. And a large center console tender.
Lyra Noa is ideal for a family who really loves to sail! She is safe and comfortable offshore while still capable of achieving 300nm days. She is the perfect expedition vessel for a family to explore the world or ideal for an adventure charter operator to perform charters where the typical charter cat just couldn't cut it. She can handle a blow, she can sail to windward, she will be comfortable riding over big sloppy seas, she will reduce passage times, burn less fuel, and be easier to care for and maintain than any other cat with her level of gear and systems. She's a very, very special cat.
To learn all about her feel free to email us or give us a call. She can be shown at any time in Cape Canaveral, FL where she is presently hauled out for annual maintenance.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
